What is diffraction?

Physics

Lynna [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Diffraction is a physics concept. Diffraction occurs when waves bend around small obstacles, or when waves spread out after they pass through small openings. Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

The frequency of the waves depends on the distance between wave fronts - considering a front as a maximum disturbance of the wave

(Consider the waves emitted by an organ pipe: condensation and rarefactions)

The waves themselves are a fixed distance apart -

as one moves towards the source the waves received will be closer together (higher frequency)

So if the frequency received increases, the distance between the source and the observer must be decreasing

Name on contact force and one field force acting on you right now
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Contact forces are forces that require the actual contact (touching) of two pieces of matter. There are a variety of contact forces. A very common one is friction. Anytime that two surfaces are in contact with one another, there is friction between the two surfaces. A field force is a force that works at a distance. No touching is required. Gravity is a good example of a field force, because it works whether or not an object is touching something or touching nothing at all.

A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 28.2 m/s.A. What is its maximum height?B. How long is the ball in the air?C. When does t
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

(A) The maximum height of the ball is 40.57 m

(B) Time spent by the ball on air is 5.76 s

(C) at 33.23 m the speed will be 12 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the ball, u = 28.2 m/s

(A) The maximum height

At maximum height, the final velocity, v = 0

v² = u² -2gh

u² = 2gh

h = \frac{u^2}{2g}\\\\h = \frac{(28.2)^2}{2*9.8}\\\\h = 40.57 \ m

(B) Time spent by the ball on air

Time of flight = Time to reach maximum height + time to hit ground.

Time to reach maximum height = time to hit ground.

Time to reach maximum height  is given by;

v = u - gt

u = gt

t = \frac{u}{g}

Time of flight, T = 2t

T = \frac{2u}{g}\\\\ T = \frac{2*28.2}{9.8}\\\\ T = 5.76 \ s

(C) the position of the ball at 12 m/s

As the ball moves upwards, the speed drops, then the height of the ball when the speed drops to 12m/s will be calculated by applying the equation below.

v² = u² - 2gh

12² = 28.2² - 2(9.8)h

12² - 28.2² = - 2(9.8)h

-651.24 = -19.6h

h = 651.24 / 19.6

h = 33.23 m

Thus, at 33.23 m the speed will be 12 m/s
