What happens when waves encounter a medium that they cannot travel through

1 answer:

4 0

Then the waves (and the energy they carry) are completely reflected from the surface of the impenetrable medium.

Example:
An ordinary mirror is a sheet of glass with a thin layer of aluminum
or silver stuck to the back of the glass. Light waves have no trouble
traveling through the glass, but they can't get through the silver layer
on the back of it. So the waves completely bounce off of the silver, and
go back through the glass in the direction they came from.

At a certain distance from a point charge, the potential and electric-field magnitude due to that charge are 4.98 V and 16.2 V/m

son4ous [18]

Answer:

A. 30.7cm

B. $1.7*10^{-10}C$

C. The electric field is directed away from the point of charge

Explanation:

$because, E=\frac{v}{d} \\\\d= \frac{4.98}{16.2}\\\\ d = 0.307m\\\\d = 30.7 cm$

Considering Gauss's law

$EA = \frac{Q}{e}\\\\ where, e = pertittivity. space= 8.85* 10^{-12} Fm^{-1} \\\\A = surface. area. with.radius 0.307m\\Q= eEA = (8.85*10^{-12})(16.2)(4\pi)(0.307)^{2}\\\\= 1.7*10^{-10}C$

C. The electric field directed away from the point of charge when the charge is positive.

A particle moving in simple harmonic motion with a period T = 1.5 s passes through the equilibrium point at time t0 = 0 with a v

ch4aika [34]

Answer

given,

Time period= T = 1.5 s

If it's moving through equilibrium point at t₀= 0 with v = 1.0 m/s

v_max=1.00 m/s

we know,

v_ max=A ω

v = A sin (ωt)

-0.50= -1.00 sin (ωt)

sin (ωt) = 0.5

$\omega t = sin^{-1}(0.5)$

$\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\times t =0.524$

$\dfrac{2\pi}{1.5}\times t =0.524$

t = 0.125 s

we have time period T=1.5 it is the time to complete one oscillation

means from eq to right,then left,then eq,then left,then from right to eq

time taken for left = t/4 = 0.125/4 = 0.375 s

smallest value of time

=0.375 + 0.125

= 0.50 sec
