What is the definition of reflection of light?​

Physics
1 answer:
Savatey [412]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves.

Describe the importance of the neutron in a atomic nuclei ​
RUDIKE [14]

Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.

Hope it helps!

A man of weight Wman is standing on the second floor and is pulling on a rope to lift a box of weight Wbox from the floor below.
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

See the attached figure . See the forces acting on man pulling up the box .

Man is stationary so net force acting on man is zero .

T + R = Wman

R is the reaction force of the ground of second floor  .

R = Wman - T

The two spheres pictured above have equal densities and are subject only to their mutual gravitational attraction. Which of the
kiruha [24]

Answer:

Gravitational force

Explanation:

If two spheres have equal densities and they are subject only to their mutual gravitational attraction. We need to say that the quantities that must have the same magnitude for both spheres. So, the correct option is (E) i.e. gravitational force.

It is because of Newton's third law of motion. It states that the force due to object 1 to object 2 is same as force due to object 2 to object 1. The two forces act in opposite direction.  

Hence, the correct option is (E) "Gravitational force".

A basketball is rolling with a velocity of 0.5 meters/second relative to the ground and due north. A tennis ball is rolling with
Lisa [10]
Since the basketball and the tennis ball both travel to the same direction relative to the ground, the velocity of the basketball relative to the tennis ball is therefore the difference of their velocities.
                                     0.5 m/s - 0.25 m/s = 0.25 m/s
Thus, the basketball travel for 0.25 m/s relative to the tennis ball.

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 550 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s
ad-work [718]

Answer:

a

 \theta  =  0.0022 rad

b

 I  =  0.000304 I_o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The  wavelength of the light is \lambda  = 550 \ nm  =  550 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  distance of the slit separation is  d = 0.500 \ mm = 5.0 *10^{-4} \ m

 

Generally the condition for two slit interference  is  

     dsin \theta =  m \lambda

Where m is the order which is given from the question as  m = 2

=>    \theta  =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ]

 substituting values  

      \theta  =  0.0022 rad

Now on the second question  

   The distance of separation of the slit is  

       d =  0.300 \ mm  =  3.0 *10^{-4} \ m

The  intensity at the  the angular position in part "a" is mathematically evaluated as

      I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin \beta}{\beta} ]^2

Where  \beta is mathematically evaluated as

       \beta  =  \frac{\pi *  d  *  sin(\theta )}{\lambda }

  substituting values

     \beta  =  \frac{3.142  *  3*10^{-4}  *  sin(0.0022 )}{550 *10^{-9} }

    \beta  = 0.06581

So the intensity is  

    I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin (0.06581)}{0.06581} ]^2

   I  =  0.000304 I_o
