There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: d sin θ = nλ

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.

An object dropped on Planet P falls 144 m in 6 seconds. What is the gravitational acceleration of Planet P ? Gravitational accel

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The distance the object falls, s = 144 m

The time taken by the object is, t = 6 s

Using the III equations of motion

S = ut + ½ gt²
