Answer:

Option "D" is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is only optical illusion that best describes the formation of other multiple images which are not based on other scientific mechanism. Thank you.

Answer:

B. Diffraction

Explanation:

Diffraction is the process that occurs when a wave is blocked by an obstacle.The obstacle could be a tiny hole or a much larger object.The waves have to pass through and they usually find a way by bending around the corners of the obstacle or through it depending on the nature and size of the obstacle.

The diffracted rays forms shadow at the back of the obstacle. The shadow is usually made up of several parallel rays.

Satellite A has an orbital radius 3.00 times greater than that of satellite B. Satellite B's orbital period around Earth is 120
igomit [66]

Answer:

To find the circumference (orbit) of an object, you use Pi x Diameter. 

As you have the circumference of B, you divide it by Pi to get the Diameter. 

So 120 divided by 3.141592654 = 38.2 minutes for the Diameter. 

As' radius and Diameter will be 3x greater than B. 

38.2 x 3 = 114.6 

To get back to the orbital period, times 114.6 by Pi, and you will get 360 minutes

Marysya12 [62]
From the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+ m2u2= m1v1+ m2v2
110*8+ 110*-10= 110*-10 + 110* v2
v2= 8 m/sec

do constructive inference occur when the compression of one wave meets up with the compression of a second wave
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are two types of interference possible when two waves meet at the same point:

- Constructive interference: this occurs when the two waves meet in phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinale wave) meets with the crest (compression) of the other wave. In such a case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is twice that of the original wave.

- Destructive interferece: this occurs when the two waves meet in anti-phase, i.e. the crest (or the compression, in case of a longitudinal wave) meets with the trough (rarefaction) of the other wave. In this case, the amplitude of the resultant wave is zero, since the amplitudes of the two waves cancel out.

In this problem, we have a situation where the compression of one wave meets with the compression of the second wave, so we have constructive interference.

Kruka [31]

for this you use the pythagoreom theorem

6^2 + 8^2

36 + 64 = 100

the square root of 100 is 10

10 is the answer
