How does reflection differ from refraction and diffraction?

Physics
1 answer:
shtirl [24]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: Reflection is the only process in which the wave does not continue moving forward.

Explanation:

Reflection is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when it is exposed to a bounce off barrier. Refraction can be defined as the change in the direction of the wave when the wave passes through one medium to another. Diffraction is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when the wave passes through a particular opening near the barrier.

In Millikan's experiment, an oil drop of radius 1.362 μm and density 0.888 g/cm3 is suspended in chamber C when a downward-point
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The charge on the oil drop is 3e

Explanation:

F = qE

Where;

F is the applied force in Newton

E is the electric field potential N/C

q is charge in C

Given;

Radius, r = 1.362 μm = 1.362 X 10⁻⁶ m

density, ρ = 0.888 g/cm³ = 0.888 X 10³ kg/m³

Electric field potential = 1.92 ✕ 10⁵ N/C

F =mg

mass of the oil drop = density, ρ  X volume of the oil drop

volume of the oil drop (spherical) =  (4/3)πr³ = 1.3333π(1.362 X 10⁻⁶)³

⇒ volume of the oil drop = 10.584 X 10⁻¹⁸ m³

mass of the oil drop = 0.888 X 10³ (kg/m³) X 10.584 X 10⁻¹⁸ (m³)

⇒ mass of the oil drop = 9.399 X 10⁻¹⁵ kg

⇒ F =mg = 9.399 X 10⁻¹⁵ kg X 9.8 = 9.21 X10⁻¹⁴ N

F = qE

q = F/E

q = (9.21 X10⁻¹⁴)/(1.92 ✕ 10⁵) = 4.797 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

In terms of e

1e = 1.6 X10⁻¹⁹ C

=  (4.797 X 10⁻¹⁹ C)/(1.6 X10⁻¹⁹ C) = 3e

Therefore, the charge on the oil drop is 3e

What has been gravity's apparent role in our solar system so far? Focus on the formation of planets, individual orbits, alignmen
masya89 [10]

Gravity is one of the significant forces of the universe. It is the force that draws other objects closer to the center of another object. The bigger the object, the higher its force of gravity and nearby objects are accelerated towards the big mass.

It is this force of gravity that keeps the planets in the solar system orbiting around the sun. The suns gravitational pull is stronger than those of the planets hence pulls the planets on their orbits around the star. Gravity also played a part in the formation of the planets. Gravity caused the condensation of dust and rocks into a mass that continually attracted more matter as it gained mass (due to gaining more associated gravitational pull).
