Which picture best demonstrates the phenomenon of diffraction?

Physics
1 answer:
timama [110]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The image to the left (with the disks on it)

Explanation:

Interference in any type of wave can be gotten in two forms, constructive interference, and destructive interference.

The constructive interference is between two waves with the same phase, that is, each crest and trough correspond with the crest and trough of the another getting as result a wave with twice the amplitude of the original one.

The destructive interference is between two waves out of phase, in which the crest of one cancels with the trough of another.

If light passes for a slit it will get a diffraction pattern in a screen, at which each bright pattern corresponds to a crest and a dark pattern to a trough, as a consequence of constructive interference and destructive interference in different points of its propagation to the screen.

The circular shape of the disks can be a representation of the wavefront and how the overlaps make constructive and destructive interference in order to get the diffraction pattern.

An ice skater weighs 500 [N]. He is coasting to the right at a constant velocity of 2 [m/s]. Assume
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

The net force on the skater is zero. (F_{net} = 0\,N)

Explanation:

According to Newton's First Law, an object is at equilibrium when either it is at rest or moves at constant velocity, which means a net force of zero. Based on the given statement, there are no external forces acting on skate and, therefore, the net force on the skater is zero. (F_{net} = 0\,N)

A mass weighting 16 lbs stretches a spring 3 inches. The mass is in a medium that exerts a viscous resistance of 20 lbs when the
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The equation for the object's displacement is u(t)=0.583cos11.35t

Explanation:

Given:

m = 16 lb

δ = 3 in

The stiffness is:

k=\frac{m}{\delta } =\frac{16}{3} =5.33lb/in

The angular speed is:

w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } =\sqrt{\frac{5.33*386.4}{16} } =11.35rad/s

The damping force is:

F_{D} =cu

Where

FD = 20 lb

u = 4 ft/s = 48 in/s

Replacing:

c=\frac{F_{D} }{u} =\frac{20}{48} =0.42lbs/in

The critical damping is equal:

c_{c} =\frac{2k}{w} =\frac{2*5.33}{11.35} =0.94lbs/in

Like cc>c the system is undamped

The equilibrium expression is:

u(t)=u(o)coswt+u'(o)sinwt\\u(o)=7=0.583\\u'(o)=0\\u(t)=0.583coswt\\u(t)=0.583cos11.35t
