Explain the term diffraction

1 answer:

kow [346]2 years ago

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

Answer:

<u><em>A. wavelength</em></u>

Explanation:

The others are about sound and how high it is. That has nothing to do with time.

Unpolarized light with intensity S is incident on a series of polarizing sheets. The first sheet has its transmission axis orien

jeka94

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial Intensity of light is S

when an un-polarized light is Passed through a Polarizer then its intensity reduced to half.

When it is passed through a second Polarizer with its transmission axis $\theat =45^{\circ}$

$S_1=S_0\cos ^2\theta$

here $S_0=\frac{S}{2}$

$S_1=\frac{S}{2}\times \frac{1}{(\sqrt{2})^2}$

$S_1=\frac{S}{4}$

When it is passed through third Polarizer with its axis $90^{\circ}$ to first but $\theta =45^{\circ}$ to second thus $S_2$

$S_2=S_0\cos ^2\theta$

$S_2=\frac{S}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}$

$S_2=\frac{S}{8}$

When middle sheet is absent then Final Intensity will be zero

Dylan has two cubes of iron. The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube. He measures the smaller cube. Its mass is 2

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The volume of the larger cube is 5.08 g/cm³.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of smaller cube = 20 g

Density of smaller cube $\rho= 7.87 g/cm^2$

Dylan has two cubes of iron.

The larger cube has twice the mass of the smaller cube.

$M_{l}=2m_{s}$

Density is same for both cubes because both cubes are same material.

The density is equal to the mass divided by the volume.

$\rho=\dfrac{m}{V}$

$V=\dfrac{m}{\rho}$

Where, V = volume

m = mass

$\rho=density$

We need to calculate the volume of smaller mass

The volume of smaller mass

$V_{s}=\dfrac{m_{s}}{\rho_{s}}$

$V_{s}=\dfrac{20}{7.87}$

$V_{s}=2.54\ cm^3$

Now, We need to calculate the volume of large cube

$V_{l}=\dfrac{m_{l}}{\rho_{l}}$

$V_{l}=\dfrac{2\times20}{7.87}$

$V_{l}=5.08\ g/cm^3$

Hence, The volume of the larger cube is 5.08 g/cm³.
