Which wave diffracts the most when encountering an obstacle?

Physics
1 answer:
viva [34]3 years ago
8 0

Answer;

-A wave with the longest wavelength.

Explanation;

-Diffraction is the apparent of wave through,around small obstacles and the spreading out of wave past small openings. When thinking of diffraction of a wave think of shining a flashlight around a corner. The light bends around the corner but there is a place where it is dark and the light does not hit. Diffraction of a wave is basically the wave bending around an object then dispersing out.

-The amount of diffraction (the sharpness of the bending) increases with increasing wavelength and decreases with decreasing wavelength. When the wavelength of the waves is smaller than the obstacle, no noticeable diffraction occurs.

Answer:

A. 59.4

Explanation:

The refractive index of the glass, n₁ = 1.50

The angle of incidence of the light, θ₁ = 35°

The refractive index of air, n₂ = 1.0

Snell's law states that n₁·sin(θ₁) = n₂·sin(θ₂)

Where;

θ₂ = The angle of refraction of the light, which is the angle the light will have when it passes from the glass into the air

Therefore;

θ₂ = arcsin(n₁·sin(θ₁)/n₂)

Plugging in the values of n₁, n₂ and θ₁ gives;

θ₂ = arcsin(1.50 × sin(35°)/1.0) ≈ 59.357551° ≈ 59.4°

The angle the light will have when it passes from the glass into the air, θ₂ ≈ 59.4°.

A 79 kg person sits on a 3.7 kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.3 cm in diameter
vampirchik [111]
I'll assume that the chair has four legs.

Since the chair weights 3.7 kg by itself, it will weigh (79+3.7)=82.7 kg with the person sitting on it. And each of the chair's legs will take about (82.7/4)=20.675 kg.

Each leg touches the floor in a circle with 1.3cm diameter. The area of that circle is about (3.14*(1.3/2)^2)=1.327 cm^2.

Pressure is measured by force per area. So, the pressure from each leg is about 20.675kg / 1.327cm^2. That simplifies to 15.58 kg/cm^2.

A jet makes a landing traveling due east with a speed of 120 m/s .
vesna_86 [32]

Average acceleration over a time interval lasting \Delta t is

a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where \Delta v is the difference in the jet's final and initial velocities. It's coming to a rest, so

a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{0-120\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}{13.5\,\rm s}=-8.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}

so the average acceleration has magnitude 8.9 m/s^2 and is pointing West (the direction opposite the jet's movement, which should make sense because the jet is slowing down).
