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.

On a playground, there is a merry‑go‑round. In order to get it moving, Bonnie applies a force of 31 N31 N . The merry‑go‑round m
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The magnitude of the torque is 263.5 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Applied force = 31 N

Distance from the axis = 8.5 m

She applies her force perpendicularly to a line drawn from the axis of rotation

So, The angle is 90°

We need to calculate the torque

Using formula of torque

\tau=Fd\sin\theta

Where, F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

\tau=31\times8.5\sin90

\tau= 263.5\ N

Hence, The magnitude of the torque is 263.5 N.

A. What is an electric field line?
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory

Explanation:

a)

  • A electric field line is an imaginary line, which has the property that the electric field vector is tangent to it at any point. It starts from positive charges (since the electric field by convention it has the direction of the trajectory that would take a positive test charge, so it always goes away from positive charges) and ends in negative charges.

b)

  • Since the potential difference between two points represents the work per unit charge needed for a charge to move between these points, a equipotential surface is the one over which it is not needed to do work to move a charge from any point on the surface to any other point, which means that all points are at the same potential.

c)

  • Equipotential surfaces are not necessarily physical surfaces, they can be defined in vaccum for instance.
  • As an example, any spherical surface concentric with a point charge, is an equipotential surface, and  it can be a real surface or a fictitious one.

Explain how you think humans have disrupted the nitrogen cycle HELP QUICK DUE APRIL 15TH ANYBODY
mina [271]

Answer:

Scientists have determined that humans are disrupting the nitrogen cycle by altering the amount of nitrogen that is stored in the biosphere. The chief culprit is fossil fuel combustion, which releases nitric oxides into the air that combine with other elements to form smog and acid rain.

A particle with charge q, mass m, and initial speed v0 in the x direction enters a region where the electric field is uniform in
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

S = 1/2 Vo t + 1/2 a t^2 = d      time for particle to travel distance d

F = E q         force acting on particle

a = F / m = E q / m

d = Vo t + E q / (2 m) t^2

One would need to solve the quadratic equation shown to find the time t

t^2 + (2 m) / E q * V0 t - (2 m) / E q * d = 0

or t^2 + A V0 t - A d = 0 where A =  (2 m) / E q
