A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?

2 answers:

The light will be diffracted.
diffraction - bending of a wave in a homogeneous medium around obstacles or through a narrow opening.

hope this helps :)

Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

A microphone is located on the line connecting two speakers that are 0.513 m apart and oscillating in phase. The microphone is 1

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

frequency 1 = 334.30 Hz

frequency 2 = 1002.92 Hz

Explanation:

Given data

speaker distance y = 0.513 m

microphone distance D = 1.80 m

to find out

lowest two frequencies

solution

we know velocity of sound is 343 m/s

so we consider point x

so at 1st speaker distance from x = D + (y/2)

1st speaker distance from x = 1.80 + (0.513/2) = 2.0565 m .....1

and

at 2nd speaker distance from x = D - (y/2)

2nd speaker distance from x = 1.80 - (0.513/2) = 1.5435 m .........2

so destructive interference from 1 and 2 we know

1st - 2nd = ( m + 0.5 ) wavelength

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = ( 0+ 0.5) wavelength

wavelength = 1.026 m

so here 1st min frequency will be

frequency 1 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 1 = 343 / 1.026 =334.30 Hz

and

2nd min frequency will be

frequency 2 =

2.0565 m - 1.5435 m = ( 1 + 0.5) wavelength

wavelength = 0.342 m

frequency 2 = velocity of sound / wavelength

frequency 2 = 343 / 0.342 = 1002.92 Hz

An electron moving in the direction of the +x-axis enters a magnetic field. If the electron experiences a magnetic deflection in

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the left hand rule for an electron in a magnetic field, hold the thumb of the left hand at a right angle to the rest of the fingers, and the rest of the fingers parallel to one another. If the thumb represents the motion of the electron, and the other fingers represent the direction of the field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the electron. In this case, the left hand will be held out with the thumb pointing to the right (+x axis), and the palm facing your body (-y axis). The magnetic field indicated by the other fingers will point down in the the -z axis.

What is the monthly cost of using a 750 W refrigerator that runs for 8 hours every day, if the cost per kWh is $0.23?

disa [49]

Answer:

Assuming there are 28 days in each month,

750W = 0.75kW

Cost of electric bill = 0.75 × 8 × 28 × $0.23

= $38.64
