Answer:

The wave is said to have undergone reflection.

Explanation:

When a wave traveling through a medium meets the boundary of that medium, it gets bounced back and returns into the medium in which it is traveling. This behavior of the wave that causes a change in the direction of the wave is known as reflection. Examples of reflection include the reflection of sound waves, light waves, water waves, etc.

According to the law of reflection, the angle at which the waves approach the barrier (or an interface between two mediums) equals the angle at which they reflect off the barrier (or an interface between two mediums).

Refraction of waves is referred to the change in the direction of waves or bending of the path of the waves when they pass from one medium to another which is accompanied by a change in wavelength and speed of the waves.

Diffraction of waves is referred to the change in the direction of waves when they move around a barrier in their path or pass through an opening. Interference occurs when two waves traveling through the same medium superpose to form a wave having the same or lower or greater amplitude.

What is the difference between mutual flux, leakage flux and magnetizing flux

Lemur [1.5K]

In simple words, flux can be stated as the rate of flow of a fluid, radiant energy, or particles across a given area.

Explanation:

Mutual Flux:

The magnetic lines present in among two magnets or solenoid is mutual flux.
These are the lines in which the attraction and repulsion happens.
The SI unit of mutual flux is the Henry

Leakage Flux:

In simple words, it can be stated as the magnetic flux which does not follow the specially designed way in a magnetic circuit.
Leakage flux in the induction motor takes spot due to current runs through the essence of the induction motor.
The SI unit of Leakage flux is the Weber

Magnetizing flux

Magnetic flux is an analysis of the entire magnetic field which moves in a given field
In simple words can be defined as the Magnetic flux is what generates the field around a magnetic material.

The SI unit of magnetic flux is the Weber

A proton and an electron are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements mus

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Their kinetic energy will increase but potential energy will decrease.

Explanation:

Given that

Initial velocities of electron and proton is zero.

We know that ,electron have negative charge and proton have positive charge it means that they will attract to each other.We know that opposite charge attract to each other and same charge repels to each other.

It means that the velocities of proton and electron will increase and that leads to increase in the kinetic energy of proton and electron.

We know that potential energy U

$U\alpha -\dfrac{1}{r}$

So when r will decrease then U will increase but in negative direction it means that U will decrease.

So we can say that their kinetic energy will increase but potential energy will decrease.
