Explain the term diffraction​

Physics
1 answer:
kow [346]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced. Diffraction refers to various phenomena that occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or opening. It is defined as the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture.

Explanation: FYI I gave you the def and what it refers to BTW

Acceleration and Force
olga55 [171]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure its 3m/s^2 for the acceleration but I don't know the force part sorry .

Explanation:

15m/s - 0m/s divided by 5 s = 3m/s

I'm no expert or anything so I could be wrong but this is the best I can give you. Sorry

estion: Why is it important to use vector quantities and not just scalar quantities to describe the motion of an object? Vector
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Vector quantities are important in the study of motion. Some examples of vector quantities include force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and momentum. The difference between a scalar and vector is that a vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. The resulting motion of the aircraft in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are also vector quantities. A vector quantity is different to a scalar quantity because a quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

Sonja [21]

Answer

2) 1.5×10-2 m

Explanation

The potential difference is related to the electric field by:

\Delta V=Ed (1)

where

\Delta V is the potential difference

E is the electric field

d is the distance

We want to know the distance the detectors have to be placed in order to achieve an electric field of

E=1 V/cm=100 V/m

when connected to a battery with potential difference

\Delta V=1.5 V

Solving the equation (1) for d, we find

d=\frac{\Delta V}{E}=\frac{1.5 V}{100 V/m}=0.015 m=1.5 \cdot 10^{-2} m

What can increase the gravitational potential energy of a object
love history [14]

Answer:

Increase in mass and height

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object can increase if the mass and height of object is increased.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

It is expressed as:

  Gravitational potential energy = mass x acceleration due gravity x height

Increasing mass and height will cause an increase in gravitational potential energy.
