Answer:
B)Diffraction
Explanation:
The concept of diffraction in the field of physics is defined as the deflection of a wave when it crosses an opening or hits the edge of an opaque element. Diffraction is a phenomenon that involves all waves: electromagnetic, radio, sound, etc., and it is possible to predict their behavior using different mathematical approaches. There is a method of analysis called the Huygens principle, which allows us to understand diffraction as a wavefront that is seen as a series of emitters capable of redirecting the wave when it oscillates and thus promotes propagation. Although the waves produced by the oscillators are spherical, their interference causes a flat wave that moves in the same direction as the initial one.
Answer:
1234285.7 m or 1234.3 km
Explanation:
Let the distance be
, the time taken by P waves be
and the time taken by the S waves be
.


For the P waves,


For the S waves,


Equating the
,

Divide both sides of the equation by 500 to reduce the terms.

Since S waves arrive 2 minutes (= 120 seconds) after P waves,


Substitute this in the equation of the distance.




Substitute this in the equation for
involving
.



Answer:
dg= 942m
Explanation:
given the depth of the granite Us dg = 500m
time between the explosion t = 0.99s
the speed of sound in granite is Vg = 6000m/s
First of all calculate the time it takes the sound waves to travel down through the lake
Vw = dw/t1
t1 = dw/Vw
t1 = 500/1480
t1 = 0.338s.
Let dg be the depth of the granite basin, so the time it takes for the sound to travel down through the granite is t2 = dg/6000m/s......equation(1)
So the total time it takes to travel down to the oil surface will be
t1/2 = t1 + t2
t1/2= 0.338 + dg/6000.
since the reflection on the oil does not change the speed of sound, the sound will take travelling upto the surface the same time it takes to reach the oil
so; t = 2 t1/2
t1/2 = t/2 = 0.99s/2 = 0.495
Now insert into the values of t1/2 into the equation (1) and solve for dg;
we get 0.495 = 0.338 + dg/6000
dg = (0.495 - 0.338) x 6000
dg = 942m.
