Fresnel and Fraunhofer diffraction. Fresnel diffraction is produced when light from a point source meets an obstacle, the waves are spherical and the pattern observed is a fringed image of the object. Fraunhofer diffraction occurs with plane wave-fronts with the object effectively at infinity. The pattern is in a particular direction and is a fringed image of the source.
Answer:
A scalar quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge. On the other hand, a vector quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.
Energy is the quantitative property that must be transferred to an object in order to perform work on, or to heat, the object.
The frequency of a wave is the reciprocal of its period.
A period of 0.008 sec means a frequency of
1 / 0.008 sec = 125 per sec . (125 Hz)
