Planar waves from a monochromatic light source are normally incident on a circular obstacle, which casts a shadow on a screen po

sitioned behind the obstacle. What do the wave properties of light predict about how dark the center of the shadow is?(a) The center of the pattern should be brighter than its surrounding.(b) The center of the pattern should be darker than its surrounding.

Answer:

correct  is the A

Explanation:

The light is a wave that has travels from two different places, each side of the circular obstacle, so an interference process must be given, which is described by the expression

                a sin θ  = m λ

Where a is the size of the slit, λ the wavelength and m an integer that indicates the order of diffraction.

In the case of the central point, the difference in the optical path of each ray stop is zero, which implies that in some it is also zero, so the waves are in phase for this point and a bright spot must be seen in the center.

When reviewing the answer the correct one is the A

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: 12Mg/h

Explanation:

Let the spring is compressed by a distance x,before the lift stops,then

Mg(h+x)= 1/2 kx^2 ............... 1

Kx - Mg = M ( 5g ) ............ 2

Make x the subject in equation 2

Kx = 5Mg + Mg

Kx = 6Mg

x = 6Mg/k ............ 3

Put equation 3 into 1

Mg ( h + x ) = 1/2 kx^2

Mgh + Mgx = 1/2kx^2

Mgh + Mg × 6Mg/k = 1/2k × ( 6Mg/k )^2

Mgh + Mg× 6Mg/k = 1/2k 36M^2g^2/ k^2

h =18Mg/k - 6Mg/h

K = 12Mg/h

Answer:

An electric bell is placed inside a transparent glass jar. The bell can be turned on and off using a switch on the outside of the jar. A vacuum is created inside the jar by sucking out the air. Then the bell is rung using the switch. What will we see and hear?

A.

We’ll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.

B.

We won’t see the bell move, but we’ll hear it ring.

C.

We’ll see the bell move and hear it ring.

D.

We won’t see the bell move or hear it ring.

E.

We’ll see the sound waves exit the vacuum pump.

Explanation:

so, the answer to the question is

A.

We'll see the bell move, but we won’t hear it ring.

Neither set of choices is correct.

If the distance is tripled, then the forces decrease to

1/9 Fg. and. 1/9 Fe.

Note. When the objects are charged, the gravitational force Fg can almost always be ignored, since Fe is like 10^40 greater when the quantities of mass and charge are similar.
