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

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).

frozen [14]

Answer:

$\theta = 49.81^0$

Explanation:

Given that:

$\omega = 41.5 \ rev/min\\\\\omega = 41.5 *\frac{1}{60}* 2 \pi\\\\\omega = 4.45 \ rad/s\\\\\\diameter = 0.748 m$

If we let the piece of the close lose contact at ∠θ;

Then ; from force balance;

we have:

$\\\\mg sin \theta = \frac{mv^2}{r}\\\\sin \theta = \frac{2v^2}{dg}\\\\\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{2v^2}{dg})$

where;

$v = \frac{\omega d}{2}\\\\v = \frac{4.45 *0.748}{2}\\\\v = 1.6643\\\\v^2 = 2.77$

Again:

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{2v^2}{dg})\\\\\theta = sin^{-1}( \frac{2*2.77}{0.74*9.8})\\\\\theta = 49.81^0$

Let surface S be the boundary of the solid object enclosed by x^2+z^2=4, x+y=6, x=0, y=0, and z=0. and, let f(x,y,z)=(3x)i+(x+y+

babunello [35]

a. I've attached a plot of the surface. Each face is parameterized by

• $\mathbf s_1(x,y)=x\,\mathbf i+y\,\mathbf j$ with $0\le x\le2$ and $0\le y\le6-x$ ;

• $\mathbf s_2(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+u\sin v\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le2$ and $0\le v\le\frac\pi2$ ;

• $\mathbf s_3(y,z)=y\,\mathbf j+z\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le y\le 6$ and $0\le z\le2$ ;

• $\mathbf s_4(u,v)=u\cos v\,\mathbf i+(6-u\cos v)\,\mathbf j+u\sin v\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le2$ and $0\le v\le\frac\pi2$ ; and

• $\mathbf s_5(u,y)=2\cos u\,\mathbf i+y\,\mathbf j+2\sin u\,\mathbf k$ with $0\le u\le\frac\pi2$ and $0\le y\le6-2\cos u$ .

b. Assuming you want outward flux, first compute the outward-facing normal vectors for each face.

$\mathbf n_1=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_1}{\partial y}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_1}{\partial x}=-\mathbf k$

$\mathbf n_2=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_2}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_2}{\partial v}=-u\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf n_3=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_3}{\partial z}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_3}{\partial y}=-\mathbf i$

$\mathbf n_4=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_4}{\partial v}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_4}{\partial u}=u\,\mathbf i+u\,\mathbf j$

$\mathbf n_5=\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_5}{\partial y}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf s_5}{\partial u}=2\cos u\,\mathbf i+2\sin u\,\mathbf k$

Then integrate the dot product of f with each normal vector over the corresponding face.

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_1}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{6-x}f(x,y,0)\cdot\mathbf n_1\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{6-x}0\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dx=0$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_2}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\mathbf f(u\cos v,0,u\sin v)\cdot\mathbf n_2\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$

$\displaystyle=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}-u^2(2\sin v+\cos v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=-8$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_3}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^6\mathbf f(0,y,z)\cdot\mathbf n_3\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^60\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dz=0$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_4}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\mathbf f(u\cos v,6-u\cos v,u\sin v)\cdot\mathbf n_4\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}-u^2(2\sin v+\cos v)\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=\frac{40}3+6\pi$

$\displaystyle\iint_{S_5}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-2\cos u}\mathbf f(2\cos u,y,2\sin u)\cdot\mathbf n_5\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm du$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-2\cos u}12\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm du=36\pi-24$

c. You can get the total flux by summing all the fluxes found in part b; you end up with 42π - 56/3.

Alternatively, since S is closed, we can find the total flux by applying the divergence theorem.

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathbf f(x,y,z)\cdot\mathrm d\mathbf S=\iiint_R\mathrm{div}\mathbf f(x,y,z)\,\mathrm dV$

where R is the interior of S. We have

$\mathrm{div}\mathbf f(x,y,z)=\dfrac{\partial(3x)}{\partial x}+\dfrac{\partial(x+y+2z)}{\partial y}+\dfrac{\partial(3z)}{\partial z}=7$

The integral is easily computed in cylindrical coordinates:

$\begin{cases}x(r,t)=r\cos t\\y(r,t)=6-r\cos t\\z(r,t)=r\sin t\end{cases},0\le r\le 2,0\le t\le\dfrac\pi2$

$\displaystyle\int_0^2\int_0^{\frac\pi2}\int_0^{6-r\cos t}7r\,\mathrm dy\,\mathrm dt\,\mathrm dr=42\pi-\frac{56}3$

as expected.
