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.

Answer:

<em>A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases. </em>

Explanation:

The complete question is

A merry-go-round spins freely when Diego moves quickly to the center along a radius of the  merry-go-round. As he does this, It is true to say that

A) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed increases.

B) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed decreases.

C) the moment of inertia of the system decreases and the angular speed remains the same.

D) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed increases.

E) the moment of inertia of the system increases and the angular speed decreases

In angular momentum conservation, the initial angular momentum of the system is conserved, and is equal to the final angular momentum of the system. The equation of this angular momentum conservation is given as

I_{1} w_{1} = I_{2} w_{2}    ....1

where I_{1} and I_{2} are the initial and final moment of inertia respectively.

and w_{1} and w_{2} are the initial and final angular speed respectively.

Also, we know that the moment of inertia of a rotating body is given as

I = mr^{2}    ....2

where m is the mass of the rotating body,

and r is the radius of the rotating body from its center.

We can see from equation 2 that decreasing the radius of rotation of the body will decrease the moment of inertia of the body.

From equation 1, we see that in order for the angular momentum to be conserved, the decrease from I_{1} to I_{2} will cause the angular speed of the system to increase from w_{1} to w_{2} .

From this we can clearly see that reducing the radius of rotation will decrease the moment of inertia, and increase the angular speed.
