Answer: Diffraction occurs when waves interact with a gap.

Diffraction occurs in any type of wave—mechanical or electromagnetic.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of light to bend around a small obstruction in its path is known as diffraction. Diffraction occurs for any type of waves- transverse or longitudinal i.e. for mechanical or electromagnetic waves.

When the medium changes- refraction occurs. Waves reflect back from a barrier. Diffraction occurs when the wavelength of the wave is comparable to the size of the gap. The wave bends around the corners of the gap.

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Torque; τ = 4.712 × 10^(-3) J

Magnetic moment; M = 0.0248 J/T

Explanation:

Torque is gotten from the formula;

τ = BIA

Where;

B is magnetic field

I is current

A is area

We are given;

B = 0.19T

I = 6.2A

Rectangle dimensions = 5cm by 8cm = 0.05m by 0.08m

Thus;

Area; A = 0.05m × 0.08m = 0.004 m²

Thus;

τ = 0.19 × 6.2 × 0.004

τ = 4.712 × 10^(-3) J

Formula for the magnetic moment is given by;

M = IA

M = 6.2 × 0.004

M = 0.0248 J/T

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain the relationship between speed, frequency, and wavelength.
Ahat [919]
The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all waves: vw = fλ, where vw is the speed of sound, f is its frequency, and λ is its wavelength. ... The frequency is the same as that of the source and is the number of waves that pass a point per unit time.

Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
arsen [322]

Answer:

Given that

speed u=4*10^6 m/s

electric field E=4*10^3 N/c

distance b/w the plates d=2 cm

basing on the concept of the electrostatices

now we find the acceleration b/w the plates  to find the horizontal distance traveled by the electron when it hits the plate.

acceleration a=qE/m=1.6*10^{-19}*4*10^3/9.1*10^{-31} =0.7*10^{15}=7*10^{14} m/s

now we find the horizontal distance traveled by electrons hit the plates

horizontal distance

X=u[2y/a]^{1/2}

=4*10^6[2*2*10^{-2}/7*10^{14}]^{1/2}

=3*10^{-2}= 3 cm

A man stands by a train track to watch the train car go by. Inside, a man walks through the train car eating a hot dog (the hot
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

D) 11 m/s

Explanation:

The problem asks us to calculate the velocity of the hot dog with respect to the observer stationary outside the train. This velocity is given by:

v=v_t + v_m + v_h

where

v_t=+10 m/s is the velocity of the train (towards right)

v_m=+2 m/s is the velocity of the man (towards right)

v_h=-1 m/s is the velocity of the hot-dog (towards left, so we put a negative sign)

Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find

v=+10 m/s+2 m/s-1 m/s=+11 m/s

and the positive sign means the velocity is toward right.
