How does diffraction enable somebody to hear your voice from anywhere in the room?

Diffraction means spreading out of waves that has the same wavelength as the size of the gap. Sound waves have high wavelength and so it diffracts\spreads out and enables anyone to hear your voice from anywhere outside the room.

For inside the room, the sound waves doesn't actually diffract. They collide with the air particles, causing a series of compressions and rarefactions which spreads out in the air particles and anyone can hear your voice.

Air is the medium for the sound waves to travel.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that when a ray of light tends to travel from a denser to rarer medium then there occurs total internal reflection.

For a denser medium the refractive index is greater than that of a rarer medium. This means that for the given situation refractive index of medium n_{a} is greater than medium n_{b}.

this also means that incident angle must be greater than the critical angle of the medium.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement n_{a} > n_{b} must be true for total internal reflection to occur.

Hope this helps! Mark as brainliest if liked thanks!

Explanation:

Your reasoning that the shadow is the shortest at mid-day is spot-on!

The wording of the question is the key to the answer. It says that the measurements were made in Summer. So this means that British Summer Time (BST) is being applied. BST is one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and so what looks like 1pm is really 12 noon.

The safest sort of answer is to say that the shadow is shortest when the sun is at its highest point, and in this particular question that is at 1 pm because it is BST.

The volume of a cube is 512 cm3. What would change if the volume of the cube were measured in cubic meters?. . A.. The volume of
Black_prince [1.1K]
We are given with a volume of a cube equal to 512 cm3. In this case, when the volume is expressed to cubic meters, the volume will still stay the same but the number of cubic units would decrease. a centimeter is a smaller unit than a meter, hence the value given should be divided by 1 million to express to m3.

Consider a car travelling at 60 km/hr. If the radius of a tire is 25 cm, calculate the angular speed of a point on the outer edg
vlabodo [156]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given in the kinematic equations of movement description.

From the perspective of angular movement, we find the relationship with the tangential movement of velocity through

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

Where,

\omega =Angular velocity

v = Lineal Velocity

R = Radius

At the same time we know that the acceleration is given as the change of speed in a fraction of the time, that is

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}

Where

\alpha =Angular acceleration

\omega = Angular velocity

t = Time

Our values are

v = 60\frac{km}{h} (\frac{1h}{3600s})(\frac{1000m}{1km})

v = 16.67m/s

r = 0.25m

t=6s

Replacing at the previous equation we have that the angular velocity is

\omega = \frac{v}{R}

\omega = \frac{ 16.67}{0.25}

\omega = 66.67rad/s

Therefore the angular speed of a point on the outer edge of the tires is 66.67rad/s

At the same time the angular acceleration would be

\alpha = \frac{\omega}{t}

\alpha = \frac{66.67}{6}

\alpha = 11.11rad/s^2

Therefore the angular acceleration of a point on the outer edge of the tires is 11.11rad/s^2
