According to Huygens's principle, what is the explanation for boundary behaviors?

Physics

xeze [42]4 years ago

Answer:

The Huygens–Fresnel principle says that every point in the wavefront is also a source of spherical "wavelets", and these wavelets interfere with each other, and the sum of these spherical wavelets are the new wavefront (this also happens when the wave hits a interface, and mostly in these cases is usefull this principle). So, for example, when a plane wave hits a surface, in that moment the wave can "change" a spherical wave now (you can see this when a plane wave impacts a single slit). This also explains why a beam changes of direction when it hits a surface and is diffracted.

The Huygens<span>-Fresnel </span>principle<span> states that every point on a wavefront is a source of wavelets. These wavelets spread out in the forward direction, at the same speed as the source wave. The new wavefront is a line tangent to all of the wavelets. </span>

All forms of matter are comprised of atoms. Wind in itself is the movement of particles(air). Wind does not have particles since it is an action and not a form of matter.

Compare the motion of an object acted on by balanced forces with the motion of an object acted on unbalanced forces
Andrew [12]
When balanced forces act upon an object, the object does not move. But when unbalanced forces act on it, it does.

For what visible wavelengths of light do the reflected waves interfere constructively? The range of wavelength of visible light
Otrada [13]

Answer:

None of the wavelength is in the visible range

Explanation:

Constructive interference of the reflected waves for different wavelengths can be estimated using:

λ_{m} = 2nd/m

where m is 1,2,3, ...

Therefore:

m=1, λ_{1} = 750 nm

m=2, λ_{1} = 750/2 = 375 nm

The limits of eye's sensitivity is between 430 nm and 690 nm. Beyond this range, the eye's sensitivity drops to approximately 1% of its maximum value.

A person who weighs 509,45 N empties her lungs as much as
Masja [62]

Answer:

The weight of the girl = 1045.86 kg/m³

Explanation:

Density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to the volume of that body. The S.I unit of density is kg/m³.

From Archimedes principle,

R.d = Density of the person/Density of water = Weight of the person in air/Upthrust.

⇒ D₁/D₂ = W/U............................... Equation 1.

Where D₁ = Density of the person, D₂ = Density of water, W = Weight of the person in air, U = Upthrust in water.

Making D₁ the subject of the equation,

D₁ = D₂(W/U)................................... Equation 2

<em>Given: D₂ = 1000 kg/m³ , W = 509.45 N, U = lost in weight = weight in air - weight in water = 509.45 - 22.34 = 487.11 N</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

D₁ = 1000(509.45/487.11)

D₁ = 1045.86 kg/m³

Thus the weight of the girl = 1045.86 kg/m³
