Waves diffract the most when their wavelength is

djverab [1.8K]2 years ago

<h2>Answer: about the same size of the gap  or slit</h2>

Diffraction happens when a wave (mechanical or electromagnetic wave, in fact, any wave) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the wave bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming multiple patterns with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength.

In other words, when the gap (or slit) size is larger than the wavelength, the wave passes through the gap and does not spread out much on the other side, but when the gap size is equal to the wavelength, maximum diffraction occurs.

Therefore:

<h2>Waves diffract the most when their wavelength is <u>about the same size of the gap </u></h2>

When light propagates through two adjacent materials that have different optical properties, some interesting phenomena occur at
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

First, the different indices of refraction must be taken into account (in different media): for example, the refractive index of light in a vacuum is 1 (since vacuum = c).  The value of the refractive index of the medium is a measure of its "optical density":  Light spreads at maximum speed in a vacuum but slower in others  transparent media; therefore in all of them n> 1. Examples of typical values ​​of  are those of air (1,0003), water (1.33), glass (1.46 - 1.66) or diamond (2.42).

The refractive index has a maximum value and a minimum value, which we can calculate the minimum value by means of the following explanation:

The limit or minimum angle, α lim, is defined as the angle of refraction from which  the refracted ray disappears and all the light is reflected. As in the maximum value of  angle of refraction, from which everything is reflected, is βmax = 90º, we can  know the limit angle (the minimum angle that we would have to have to know the minimum index of refraction) by Snell's law:

 βmax = 90º ⇒ n 1x sin α (lim) = n 2 ⇒ sin α lim = n 2 / n 1

Explanation:

When a light ray strikes the separation surface between two media  different, the incident beam is divided into three: the most intense penetrates the second  half forming the refracted ray, another is reflected on the surface and the third is  breaks down into numerous weak beams emerging from the point of incidence in  all directions, forming a set of stray light beams.

A window in a skyscraper has a surface area of 3.50 m^2. Wind rushes by the outside of the window at 17.4 m/s, while inside the
Mariana [72]

The difference in the pressure between the inside and outside will be 369.36 N/m²

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an item per unit area across which that force is spread is known as pressure.

It is denoted by P. The pressure relative to the ambient pressure is known as gauge pressure.

The given data in the problem is;

dP is the change in the presure=?

Using Bernoulli's Theorem;

\rm  \rho\frac{V^2_{12}}{2} +P_1= \rho \frac{V^2_{22}}{2} +P_2 \\\\\ P_2-P_1=\rho \frac{v_2^2-v_1^2}{2} \\\\  P_2-P_1= 1.21 \times \frac{17.4^2-0}{2} \\\\  \triangle p=369.36 \ N/m^2

Hence, the difference in the pressure between the inside and outside will be 369.36 N/m²

Does A= 6.4 B=12 C=12.2 Form a RIGHT TRIANLGE?
Lina20 [59]
To answer this question, you must remember the equation:

a²+b²= c²

(6.4)² + (12)²=   (12.2)²

<span>40.96 + 144 = 184.96
</span> (12.2)² = <span>148.84
</span>
184.96 ≠ 148.84

This cannot be a triangle

hope this helps

18. How does magnetic force affect the energy in a system of magnets when the magnets are released and begin to move? a The magn
astra-53 [7]

When the magnets are released and begin to move, the magnetic force changes potential energy into kinetic energy;<u> option D</u>

<h3>What is magnetic force?</h3>

Magnetic force can be defined as the force of attraction or repulsion that is felt or produced between the magnetic poles and electrically charged moving particles.

Magnetic force is the force that exists due to the attractio or repulsion of objects place around the region of space where a maget exerts its force.

When a magnet is released ai a system of magnets and allowed to move it increases the kinetic eergy of the system by converting potential energy to kinetic energy.
