Explanation:

Single slit diffraction

Diffraction is the phenomenon of spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects. Diffraction occurs when the size of the aperture or obstacle is of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the incident wave. For very small aperture sizes, the vast majority of the wave is blocked. in case of  large apertures the wave passes by or through the obstacle without any significant diffraction.

An 92-kg football player traveling 5.0m/s in stopped in 10s by a tackler. What is the original kinetic energy of the player? Exp
Artemon [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the football player, m = 92 kg

Velocity of player, v = 5 m/s

Time taken, t = 10 s

(1) We need to find the original kinetic energy of the player. It is given by :

k=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

k=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2

k = 1150  J

In two significant figure, k=1.2\times 10^3\ J

(2) We know that work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy. Work done per unit time is called power of the player. We need to find the average power required to stop him. So, his final velocity v = 0

i.e. P=\dfrac{W}{t}=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}

P=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times (92\ kg)\times (5\ m/s)^2}{10\ s}

P = 115 watts

In two significant figures, P=1.2\times 10^2\ Watts

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

answer in the explanation!!

Explanation:

1: light being emitted from a light bulb is called electromagnetic waves ; transverse wave.

2: sound coming from a violin is a mechanical wave ; longitudinal wave.

3: a rock being dropped in a pond is a mechanical wave ; and im pretty sure its longitudinal and/or transverse.

A layer of oil (n = 1.38) floats on an unknown liquid. A ray of light originates in the oil and passes into the unknown liquid.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 65.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( 53.0° )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (unknown liquid, n=?)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)

Hence,  

1.38\times {sin65.0^0}={n_r}\times{sin53.0^0}

Solving for {n_r},

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56
