What is diffraction?

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D) the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

Explanation:

Even though light travels in straight line, it will bend around objects if their size is comparative to its wavelength. This phenomenon is called diffraction.

Light will also bend if the light travels from one medium to another medium at an angle, but that is called refraction.

Diffraction occurs in one medium. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another.

From the answers provided, I believe the possible answer would be the last option, silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals. Here's my reasoning: the most abundant mineral group found in the Earth's crust is the silicate group. The silicate materials contain both oxygen and silicon. Silicates are the most common minerals in the rock-formation process, and it has, in fact, been estimated that they make up 75 to 90 percent of the Earth's crust. From this piece of evidence, I can guess that the answer will possibly be D, silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals.
It should also be noted that the additional elements that combine with the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron are involved with the other elements commonly found in the Earth's crust and mantle. They are aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and sodium.

Determine a formula for the acceleration of the system in terms of mA, mB, θ, and g. Ignore the mass of the cord and pulley. Exp
jekas [21]

Answer:

a=\frac{mBg-mAgSin\theta}{mA+mB}

Explanation:

Given two mass on an incline code mA and mB and an angle of inclination \theta. g. Assume that mA is the weight being pulled up and mB the hanging weight.

-The equations of motion from Newton's Second Law are:

mBg-T=mBa where a is the acceleration.

#Substituting for T (tension) gives:

mBg-mAsin\theta-mAa=mBa

#and solving for a:

a=\frac{mBg-mAgSin\theta}{mA+mB} which is the system's acceleration.

The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200m ahead on the same track. The
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

No, there won't be a collision.

Explanation:

We will use the constant acceleration formulas to calculate,

v = u + a*t

0 = 25 + (-0.1)*t

t = 250 seconds (the time taken for the passenger train to stop)

v^2 = u^2 + 2*a*s

0 = (25)^2  + 2*(-0.1)*s

s = 3125 m (distance traveled by passenger train to stop)

If the distance traveled by freight train in 250 seconds is less than (3125-200=2925 m) than the collision will occur

Speed*time = distance

Distance = (15)*(250)

Distance = 3750 m

As the distance is way more, there won’t be a collision
