Answer:
When a light wave goes through a slit, it is diffracted, which means the slit opening acts as a new source of waves. How much a light wave diffracts<em> (how much it fans out)</em> depends on the wavelength of the incident light. The wavelength must be larger than the width of the slit for the maximum diffraction. Thus, for a given slit, red light, because it has a longer wavelength, diffracts more than the blue light.
The corresponding relation for diffraction is
,
where is the wavelength of light,
is the slit width, and
is the diffraction angle.
From this relation we clearly see that the diffraction angle is directly proportional to the wavelength
of light—longer the wavelength larger the diffraction angle.
Answer:
C. 590 mph
Explanation:
Given:
- velocity of jet,
- direction of velocity of jet, east relative to the ground
- velocity of Cessna,
- direction of velocity of Cessna, 60° north of west
Taking the x-axis alignment towards east and hence we have the velocity vector of the jet as reference.
Refer the attached schematic.
So,
&
Now the vector of relative velocity of Cessna with respect to jet:
Now the magnitude of this velocity:
is the relative velocity of Cessna with respect to the jet.
