How does reflection differ from refraction and diffraction?

Physics
1 answer:
tankabanditka [31]3 years ago
4 0
Refraction: It is the phenomena of bending of light when it changes it medium. This can rarer to denser or denser to rarer. Refraction and Diffraction are just bending of light. Whereas, Reflection is getting back the light you've thrown from a source of light.

Three point charges are arranged along the x-axis. Charge q1 = +3.00 uC is at the origin, and charge q2= -5.00 uC is at x= 0.200
artcher [175]
We have all the charges for q1, q2, and q3. 
Since k = 8.988x10^2, and N=m^2/c^2

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)

F(2on1) = k |q1 q2| / r(the distance between the two)^2
k^ | 3x10^-6 x -5 x 10^-6 |   / (.2m)^2
F(2on1) = 3.37 N

Since F1 is 7N,

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)

Since it wil be going in the negative direction,
-7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
F(3on1) = -10.37N

F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| / r(the distance between the two)^2 
r^2 x F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| 
r = sqrt of k |q1 q3| / F(3on1) 
= .144 m (distance between q1 and q3)
0 - .144m 

So it's located in -.144m

Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.

What appliances use electromagnets
Svetlanka [38]
Electromagnets are used in home appliances quite regularly and are used even in simple home appliances. Common home appliances that use electromagnets are toasters, printers, and microwave ovens. Electromagnets are a certain type of magnet that does not function unless an electrical current flows through it. These appliances create the magnetic field by flowing electricity through certain parts of the appliance.

is this true or false? an object with a mass of 9.0kg has an acceleration of 3m/s2. the force acting on it is 3N
ludmilkaskok [199]

The answer is "False". The force acting on the object is 27 N.

According to Newton's second law, when a force <em>F</em> acts on am object of mass <em>m</em>, it produces an acceleration <em>a</em>. The force is given by the expression,

F=ma

Thus, if the body has a mass of 9.0 kg and if it has an acceleration of 3 m/s², then, on substituting the values in the equation for force,

F=ma\\ =(9.0kg)(3m/s^2)\\ =27N

Thus, it can be seen that the force acting on the body is 27 N and not 3 N as is mentioned in the statement. Hence the statement is false.
