Why can we hear sound around a corner but not see light

Physics

Answer:

Sound waves that we can hear have much longer wavelengths than do light waves. As a result, the diffraction of sound waves around a corner is noticeable and we can hear the sound in the “shadow region,” but the diffraction of light waves around a corner is not noticeable.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:9.17 m/s^2

Explanation:

mass=1200kg

Force=11 x 10^3 N

Acceleration=force ➗ mass

Acceleration=11 x 10^3 ➗ 1200

Acceleration=9.17

Acceleration=9.17 m/s^2

Why is the spectrum of a star called an absorption spectrum?

ladessa [460]

It is called absorption spectrum because a gas of hydrogen will make a line spectrum and if viewed for another angle it would be between a continuum light and a emission line spectrum

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

$\beta = 41.68°$

Explanation:

according to snell's law

$\frac{n_w}{n_g} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin30 }$

refractive index of water n_w is 1.33

refractive index of glass n_g is 1.5

$sin\alpha = \frac{n_w}{n_g}* sin30$

$sin\alpha = 0.443$

now applying snell's law between air and glass, so we have

$\frac{n_g}{n_a} = \frac{sin\alpha}{sin\beta}$

$sin\beta = \frac{n_g}{n_a} sin\alpha$

$\beta = sin^{-1} [\frac{n_g}{n_a}*sin\alpha]$

we know that $sin\alpha = 0.443$

$\beta = 41.68°$

The power of a purely resistive lead is always positive although the current and voltage are sometimes negative. explain

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Current is in phase with voltage in a resistive circuit. Note that the wave form for power is always positive, never negative for this resistive circuit. This means that power is always being dissipated by the resistive load, and never returned to the source as it is with reactive loads.Explanation:
