If light moves from left to right along the x-axis, then the electric field line vibrates along what?? :(

All you can say about it is that it then vibrates perpendicular to the x-axis. But that could be up and down parallel to the y-axis, in and out parallel to the z-axis, or some of it in every possible direction perpendicular to the x-axis. We "polarize" the light when we want to pick out only one perpendicular direction and stop all the others.

PLEASE HELP! I don't get it at all! Speed is one thing; distance is another. Where is the arrow you shoot up at 50m/s when it ru

LuckyWell [14K]

I got you b, V(final)^2=V(initial+2acceleration*displacement
So this turns to (0m/s)^2=(50m/s)^2+2(9.8)(d) so just flip it all around to isolate d so you get
-(50m/s)^2/2(9.8) = d so you get roughly 12.7555 meters up

Where do you think the government should put the greatest support: solar energy, wind energy, clean coal, oil exploration, gas e

True [87]

The government should put it support in a combination of sources, as no source in the present can fully provide all energy requirements.

Two identical loudspeakers are some distance apart. A person stands 5.80 m from one speaker and 3.90 m from the other. What is t

NikAS [45]

Answer:

f = 632 Hz

Explanation:

As we know that for destructive interference the path difference from two loud speakers must be equal to the odd multiple of half of the wavelength

here we know that

$\Delta x = (2n + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

given that path difference from two loud speakers is given as

$\Delta x = 5.80 m - 3.90 m$

$\Delta x = 1.90 m$

now we know that it will have fourth lowest frequency at which destructive interference will occurs

so here we have

$\Delta x = 1.90 = \frac{7\lambda}{2}$

$\lambda = \frac{2 \times 1.90}{7}$

$\lambda = 0.54 m$

now for frequency we know that

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{343}{0.54} = 632 Hz$

Answer:

Geometrical optics, or ray optics, describes the propagation of light in terms of "rays" which travel in straight lines, and whose paths are governed by the laws of reflection and refraction at interfaces between different media.
