Can light be reflected and refracted at the same time?

1 answer:

6 0

Yes, think of a window for example. When you look out of it, you can see whatever is beyond the window. Sometimes, you might even see your own reflection in the window, if the light rays hit the glass and reflect your image in the right direction. This is often debated in quantum mechanics because of the outcome of an interaction between two particles. Another example would be water in a lake or perhaps your pool. You can see into the water, but sometimes, at your own reflection as well.

A stationary police car emits a sound of frequency 1240 HzHz that bounces off of a car on the highway and returns with a frequen

lara [203]

Answer:

frequency = 1475.45 Hz

Explanation:

given data

frequency f1 = 1215 Hz,

frequency f2 = 1265 Hz

police car moving vp = 25.0 m/s

solution

speed of sound u = 343 m / s

speed of the other car = v

when the police car is stationary

the frequency the other car receives is

f2 = f1 × $\dfrac{u+v}{u}$ ................1

and

the frequency the police car receives is

f2 = f1 × $\dfrac{u}{u-v}$ ..................2

now from equation 1 and 2

$\frac{f2}{f1} = \dfrac{u+v}{u-v}$

$\frac{1275}{1240} = \frac{u+v}{u-v}$

$v =\frac{1275-1240}{1275+1240}\times 343$

v = 4.77 m/s

and

frequency the other car receives is

f2 = f1 × $\dfrac{u+v}{u-vp}$ ......................3

and

the frequency the police car receives is

f2 = f1 × $\dfrac{u+vp}{u - v}$ .......................4

now we get

f2 = f1 × $\dfrac{(u+v)(u + vp)}{(u-v)(u-vp)}$

f2 = $1240\times \frac{(343+4.77)(343+25)}{(343-4.77)(343-25)}$

f2 = 1475.45 Hz

A gymnast of mass 62.0 kg hangs from a vertical rope attached to the ceiling. You can ignore the weight of the rope and assume t

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a) T = 608.22 N

b) T = 608.22 N

c) T = 682.62 N

d) T = 533.82 N

Explanation:

Given that the mass of gymnast is m = 62.0 kg

Acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s²

Thus; The weight of the gymnast is acting downwards and tension in the string acting upwards.

So;

To calculate the tension T in the rope if the gymnast hangs motionless on the rope; we have;

T = mg

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

= 608.22 N

When the gymnast climbs the rope at a constant rate tension in the string is

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s²)

= 608.22 N

When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an upward acceleration of magnitude

a = 1.2 m/s²

the tension in the string is T - mg = ma (Since acceleration a is upwards)

T = ma + mg

= m (a + g )

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² + 1.2 m/s²)

= (62.0 kg) (11.01 m/s²)

= 682.62 N

When the gymnast climbs up the rope with an downward acceleration of magnitude

a = 1.2 m/s² the tension in the string is mg - T = ma (Since acceleration a is downwards)

T = mg - ma

= m (g - a )

= (62.0 kg)(9.81 m/s² - 1.2 m/s²)

= (62.0 kg)(8.61 m/s²)

= 533.82 N

What is the distance from one crest to the next crest?

ella [17]

The distance between wave crests is called wavelength. It is a characteristic shared by waves of all kinds, including ocean waves and sound waves. Wavelength is measured from the highest point, or summit, of one wave's crest to the summit of the next wave's crest
