Periscope is a tube containing mirrors or prisms for seeing things which are otherwise not possible to see due to some obstacle. Two mirrors are aligned at 45 degrees through which light bounces off and enables the observer to see beyond the obstacle. This is specially used in submarines.

A kaleidoscope is an optical device which contains mirrors and colored glass pieces in a tube. When the tube is rotated, beautiful patterns are formed due to multiple reflections.

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i
Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

A slit has a width of W1 = 4.4 × 10-6 m. When light with a wavelength of λ1 = 487 nm passes through this slit, the width of the
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is 4.48*10^{-6}m

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to interference from two sources. Destructive interference produces the dark fringes.  Dark fringes in the diffraction pattern of a single slit are found at angles θ for which

w sin\theta = m\lambda

Where,

w = width

\lambda =wavelength

m is an integer, m = 1, 2, 3...

We here know that as sin\theta as w are constant, then

\frac{w_1}{\lambda_1} = \frac{w_2}{\lambda_2}

We need to find w_2, then

w_2 = \frac{w_1}{\lambda_1}\lambda_2

Replacing with our values:

w_2 = \frac{4.4*10^{-6}}{487}496

w_2 = 4.48*10^{-6}m

Therefore the width of the central bright fringe on the screen is observed to be unchanged is 4.48*10^{-6}m

A wave has a wavelength of 7 mm and a frequency of 9 hertz. What is its speed?
Snezhnost [94]
Speed of wave = Frequency x Wavelength
so Speed = 0.7 x 9 = 6.3

remember the calculations must be done in their Basic SI units.
therefore, you have to convert 7 mm to meters which becomes 0.7 meters

Which of the following processes are Exothermic? I. Melting II. Sublimation III. Vaporization IV. Condensation
mariarad [96]

Answer: condensation process is exothermic. The correct option is IV.

Explanation: Exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction in which heat is released to the surrounding environment.

condensation is defined as a process by which a medium changes from gaseous phase into liquid phase. Using water molecules to illustrate, to transform water molecules to gaseous phase it requires the heat of vaporization to be overcomed. This same hear of vaporization needs to be given off when changing back to liquid phase.
