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

What 4 things do all living organisms need to survive
Zigmanuir [339]
<span>All organisms need an environment that will allow them to reproduce. Now, that can mean lots of things. Humans for instance, need a place where they will find food, water and sun light. They will also need shelter in order to be able to protect their babies. But bacteria for example, they can live literally anywhere. They live in places as acidic as our stomachs, as hot as volcanoes, and as cold as ice in the poles.</span>

What force does it take to accelerate a 7.2 kg object 3.0 m/s^2.
grin007 [14]

Answer:

<h2>21.6 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 7.2 × 3 = 21.6

We have the final answer as

<h3>21.6 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

Masses A and B rest on very light pistons that enclose a fluid.There is no friction between the pistons and the cylinders they f
RSB [31]

Answer:

D)Not enough information

Explanation:

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure exerted on the two pistons is equal:

p_A = p_B

Pressure is given by the ratio between force F and area A, so we can write

\frac{F_A}{A_A}=\frac{F_B}{A_B}

The force exerted on each piston is just equal to the weight of the corresponding mass: F=W=mg, where m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. So the equation becomes

\frac{m_A g}{A_A}=\frac{m_B g}{A_B}

Now we can rewrite the mass as the product of volume, V, times density, d:

\frac{V_A d_A g}{A_A}=\frac{V_B d_B g}{A_B}

We also know that A_B = 2.0 m^2\\A_A = 1.0 m^2

So we can further re-arrange the equation (and simplify g as well):

\frac{V_A d_A}{1}=\frac{V_B d_B}{2}

\frac{d_A}{d_B}=\frac{V_B}{2V_A}

We are also told that block B has bigger volume than block A: V_B > V_A. However, this information is not enough to allow us to say if the fraction on the right is greater than 1 or smaller than 1: therefore, we cannot conclude anything about the densities of the two objects.
