Compared to the wavelength of the incident light, diffuse reflection occurs when the size of surface irregularities is comparable to the size of the wavelength of the light.

The distance between the two crests or troughs of the light wave is known as the wavelength of light. Using the Greek letter lambda 'λ', it is identified. As a result, wavelength refers to the separation between one wave's crest or dip and the following wave.

In contrast to specular reflection, diffuse reflection involves the reflection of light, other waves, or particles off a surface so that rays incident on the surface are scattered at a variety of angles.

Zolol [24]

Speed, frequency and wavelength are interconnected to each other.

<h3>What happens to the wavelength if the frequency increases?</h3>

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. As the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer.

The wave speed is equal to the product of its frequency and wavelength, which shows the relationship between frequency and wavelength.

So we can conclude that speed, frequency and wavelength are interconnected to each other.

<span>Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons moderator - This is the substance that slows down fast neutrons and makes them slow neutrons which are easier to capture by the atomic nuclei so that the fission reaction can continue. 2. absorb emitted neutrons control rods - These are rods made up of a substance that easily absorbs neutrons. Their purpose is to slow down or shut down the reaction. 3. mass of unstable atoms nuclear fuel - The entire point of a nuclear reactor is the capture the energy released by the fission of unstable atoms. So this mass of unstable atoms is the fuel for the nuclear reactor. 4. concrete and lead enclosure shield - This is the enclosure that prevents radiation from escaping into the general environment. 5. energy transfer medium coolant - Since the purpose of a nuclear reactor is to generate usable energy, the coolant extracts heat from the fissioning core and that heat is generally used to boil water which in turn is used to operate turbines that power electrical generators.</span>

Mariana [72]

Answers:

a) 2.82(10)^{21} kg

b) 1410 J

c) 36.62 m/s

Explanation:

<h3>a) Mass of the continent</h3>

Density \rho  is defined as a relation between mass m and volume V:

\rho=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Where:

\rho=2720 kg/m^{3} is the average density of the continent

m is the mass of the continent

V is the volume of the continent, which can be estimated is we assume it as a a slab of rock 5300 km on a side and 37 km deep:

V=(length)(width)(depth)=(5300 km)(5300 km)(37 km)=1,030,330,000 km^{3} \frac{(1000 m)^{3}}{1 km^{3}}=1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3}

Finding the mass:

m=\rho V (2)

m=(2720 kg/m^{3})(1.03933(10)^{18} m^{3}) (3)

m=2.82(10)^{21} kg (4) This is the mass of the continent

<h3>b) Kinetic energy of the continent</h3>

Kinetic energy K is given by the following equation:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} (5)

Where:

m=2.82(10)^{21} kg is the mass of the continent

v=4.8 \frac{cm}{year} \frac{1 m}{100 cm} \frac{1 year}{365 days} \frac{1 day}{24 hours} \frac{1 hour}{3600 s}=1(10)^{-9} m/s is the velocity of the continent

K=\frac{1}{2}(2.82(10)^{21} kg)(1(10)^{-9} m/s)^{2} (6)

K=1410 J (7) This is the kinetic energy of the continent

<h3>c) Speed of the jogger</h3>

If we have a jogger with mass m=77 kg and the same kinetic energy as that of the continent 1413 J, we can find its velocity by isolating v from (5):

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 K}{m}} (6)

v=\sqrt{\frac{2 (1413 J)}{77 kg}}

Finally:

v=36.62 m/s This is the speed of the jogger

uniform electric field exists between two parallel plates separated by 2.0 cm. The intensity of the field is 15 kN/C. What is th
adoni [48]

Answer:

potential difference V= 300 volts

Explanation:

Given:

d= 2.0 cm = 0.02m

E = 15 kN/C = 15 × 10³ N/C

For a uniform field between two plates, the Electric Filed Intensity (E) is proportional to the potential difference (V) and inversely  proportional to distance between the plates.

E= V/d

⇒ V= E×d = 15 × 10³ N/C × 0.02 m = 300 volts  (∴1 Nm/C = 1 J/C= 1 volts)
