Answer:

B) diffraction

Explanation:

  • It is the bending of the waves around the edge of an obstacle that is encountered by the wave in its path.
  • The size of the object from the initial direction of the wave to its edge must be of the same order as the wavelength of the wave.
  • Longer the wavelength greater is the diffraction.
  • For a particular wavelength the diffraction is maximum when the size of the gap is equal to the size of the object.

wo fixed charges, A and B are located at x axis. A is at x = 0 m, B is at x = 4 m. QA = +4.0 μC and QB = -5.0 μC. Calculate the
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

10250 N/C leftwards

Explanation:

QA = 4 micro Coulomb

QB = - 5 micro Coulomb

AP = 6 m

BP = 2 m

A is origin, B is at 4 m and P is at 6 m .

The electric field due to charge QA at P is EA rightwards

E_{A}=\frac{KQ_{A}}{AP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times4\times10^{-6}}{6^{2}}=1000 N/C (rightwards)

The electric field due to charge QB at P is EB leftwards

E_{B}=\frac{KQ_{B}}{BP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5\times10^{-6}}{2^{2}}=11250 N/C (leftwards)

The resultant electric field at P due the charges is given by

E = EB - EA

E = 11250 - 1000 = 10250 N/C leftwards
