What is meant by the statement that a laser beam is coherent, mono-chromatic and parallel?

Physics

Artyom0805 [142]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Laser light however contains only one wavelength. This property makes lasers monochromatic, meaning of one color. Another property of lasers is that all the wavelengths are in phase, meaning they wave together. This property is called coherency. Laser light travels in the same direction, parallel to one another.

The magnetic strips on credit cards can become demagnetized. What type of magnet are they?
Damm [24]
I think you're fishing for "temporary magnet" or something like that,
but I don't agree with it. 

Credit card strips, refrigerator magnets, recording tape, bar magnets,
and big heavy horseshoe magnets are permanent magnets ... you don't
have to keep an electric current circulating around them to make them
magnetic. 

But that doesn't mean that they stay magnetic no matter WHAT you do
to them.  They can be DEmagnetized by being heated, dropped on the
floor, hit with a hammer, or in the presence of another, stronger magnet.

The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m and the centripetal force is 12 N. Does the centripetal force do any
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Work done is 0.

Explanation:

Given that,

The circumference of an orbit for a toy on a string is 18 m, r = 18 m

Centripetal force, F = 12 N

In the circular path, the centripetal force is always perpendicular to the motion of the object. Thus it makes an angle of 90 degrees with the force and displacement. Hence, we can say that the centripetal force does not do any work on the toy when it follows its orbit for one cycle.

A yo-yo of mass M has an axle of radius b and a spool of radius R. Its moment of inertia can be taken to be MR2/2 and the thickn
kow [346]

Answer:

The tension in the cord is T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2}  }

Explanation:

Given:

M = mass

b = radius

R = spool of radius

The equation is:

bT=(\frac{MR^{2} }{2} )(\frac{a}{b} )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}a }{2b^{2} } (eq. 1)

The sum of forces in y:

∑Fy = Mg - T = Ma

Mg=(M+\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} }  )a\\a=\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2}  }

Replacing in eq. 1

T=\frac{MR^{2} }{2b^{2} } (\frac{2b^{2}g }{2b^{2} +R^{2} } )\\T=\frac{MR^{2}g }{2b^{2}+R^{2}  }

If the speed of a wave doubles while the frequency remains the same, it means
sattari [20]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity of a wave is describe as

velocity =Frequency × Wavelength

Mathematically

v = fλ

Hence, Frequency, F = v / λ

Wavelength λ = v/f

So, if the frequency is kept constant, wavelength of the wave becomes directly proportional to velocity of the wave.

And this implies that, as the speed double, the wavelength is double.

You toss a ball straight up with an initial speed of 30m/s. How high does it go, and how long is it in the air (neglecting air r
Brut [27]

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball is tossed straight up with an initial speed of 30 m/s

We need to find the height it will go and the time it takes in the air.

At its maximum height, its final speed, v = 0 and it will move under the action of gravity. Using equation of motion :

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u -gt

i.e. u = gt

t=\dfrac{u}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{30\ m/s}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\t=3.06\ s

So, the time for upward motion is 3.06 seconds. It means that it will in air for 3.06×2 = 6.12 seconds

Let d is the maximum distance covered by it.

d=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Putting all values

d=30(3.06)-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3.06)^2\\\\d=45.91\ m

Hence, it will go to a height of 45.91 m and it will in the air for 6.12 seconds.
