What happens when two waves meet

Physics
1 answer:
olganol [36]3 years ago
4 0

Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individualwaves upon the particles of the medium.Hope this help!

The red shift of light from distant galaxies provides evidence that these galaxies are A.) decreasing in size B.) increasing in
ale4655 [162]

Answer: D.) increasing in distance from the earth

Explanation:

The <u>Doppler shift</u> is related to the Doppler effect and refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency (or <u>wavelength=color</u>) when the emitter of the waves, and the observer move relative to each other.

From there, it is deduced that the farther the object is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. For example, <u>as a galaxy moves away from the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the red and as the galaxy moves toward the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the blue. </u>

It should be noted that this effect bears its name in honor of the Austrian physicist Christian Andreas Doppler, who in 1842 proposed the existence of this effect for the case of light in the stars.

Unpolarized light is incident on a series of polarizing disks. We have three polarizers A, B and C have transmission axes that m
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula for intensity of light after transmission for unpolarised light is

I₀ / 2 , We shall take up 180 degree disk first .

For second transmission , the formula is

I = I₀ Cos²θ , θ is angle between axis of polarizer and axis of vibration.

If we take up 30 degree polariser

I = I₀ / 2  Cos²( 180 - 30 )

= .375 I₀

For third transmission

I_ final = .375 I₀  x cos( 90 - 30 )

= .1875  I₀

Final/I₀ = .1875

If a stone with an original velocity of zero is falling from a ledge and takes eight seconds that it the ground what is the fina
Natalka [10]

Answer: 78.4 m/s

The formula for speed using known acceleration:

v=at+v_0=gt+v_0

where the initial velocity v0 = 0 in this case, g is the gravitational acceleration and t is given to be 8 seconds, so:

v = 9.8  \frac{m}{s^2}\cdot 8 s=78.4 \frac{m}{s}

After initially picking the stone up off the ground, a man exerts a 148 N force upwards on a 10 kg stone. What is the accelerati
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

5m/s²

Explanation:

The force exerted on an object is calculated using the formula ;

F = ma

Note that the upward force (F) is 148N

Where;

F = force (N)

m = mass (kg)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

The downward force towards gravity is F' = mg

F' = 10 × 9.8m/s²

F' = 98N

Net force (F - F') = m × a

148 - 98 = 10 × a

50 = 10a

a = 50/10

a = 5m/s²

A clay ball (mass = 0.25kg) has a rightward momentum of +1.75 kg∙m/s. A second clay ball (mass = 0.25 kg) has a leftward momentu
julia-pushkina [17]

1)

\begin{gathered} E1=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_1v_2^2 \\ where: \\ m_1=m_2=0.25kg \\ v_1=7m/s \\ v_2=-7m/s \\ so: \\ E1=\frac{1}{2}0.25(7^2)+\frac{1}{2}0.25(7^2) \\ E1=6.125+6.125 \\ E1=12.25J \end{gathered}

Answer:

d. 12.25J

------------------------

2)

According to the conservation of energy:

\begin{gathered} E1=E2 \\ so: \\ E2=12.25J \end{gathered}

Answer:

b. 12.25

-------------------------------

3)

P1=m_1v_2+m_2v_2=+1.75-1.75=0

Answer:

d. 0 kg∙m/s

-----------------------------------------

4)

Using conservation of momentum:

\begin{gathered} P1=P2 \\ so: \\ P2=0 \end{gathered}
