Why is the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front zero?​

Physics

Tresset [83]2 years ago

Answer:

The contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of the wave front is zero because of something known as the Obliquity Factor. It is assumed that the amplitude of the secondary wavelets is not independent of the direction of propagation, Sources: byju's.com

According to the Voigt and Kirchhoff's law for wavelets, the contribution of a wavelet in any direction making an angle x with the normal to the wavelet is proportional to {1+cos(x)/2)}

For wavelet lying on the back of secondary wavefront,

  • x = 180°

→ So, the proportional factor:

→ {1+cos(180°)/2}

→ (1-1/2)

→ (0/2)

→ 0

That's why the contribution of the wavelets lying on the back of secondary wave front is zero

One student did an experiment on the rock cycle.
Nonamiya [84]
First, when the student added the layers of wax over each other, this became a representation of sedimentary rocks.

Then the student folded his/her palm and squeezed the layers of wax. This means that the student applied heat and pressure on the wax (sedimentary rocks)

Referring to the diagram below which represents the rock cycle, we will find that applying heat and pressure on sedimentary rocks would convert these rocks into metamorphic rocks.

Based on the above, the best choice would be:

What is the mass of a 735-N weight on Earth?
Allisa [31]
W = mg,      Assuming g ≈ 9.8 m/s² on the earth surface.

735 N =  m* 9.8

735/9.8 =  m

75 = m

Mass , m = 75 kg.  B.

A person stands 6.00 m from a speaker, and 8.00 m from an identical speaker. What is the wavelength of the first (n=1) interfere
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

wavelength = 4 m

Explanation:

For distance 6 and 8m and speed of sound in air = c.

The travel time form the various distances 6 and 8 are 6/c and 8/c respectively.

cos(wt1) + cos(wt2) = 0

for a shift in phase t1 = t - 6/c,

t2 = t - 8/c

substituting t1 and t2

cos(π - w(t - 8/c)) = cos(w(t - 6/c))

solving using trigonometry identities in radians.

we have,

π - 2πn = w(t - 8/c) - w(t - 6/c)

putting w = 2πf

π - 2πn = 2πf(t - 8/c) - 2πf(t - 6/c)

dividing both sides by π

1 - 2n = 2ft - 16(f/c) - 2ft + 12(f/c)

simplifying we have,

1 - 2n = -4(f/c)

solving for f we have,

f = c/4(2n - 1)

putting n=1 and c = 343m/s

f = (343/4)*(2(1) - 1)

f = 85.75 Hertz

wave lenght = c/f , where c= speed of sound in air , f= frequency

wave lenght = 343/85.75 = 4m
