Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation
Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
Answer:
red shift, indicating that the universe is expanding
Explanation:
Doppler effect occurs when a source of a wave (e.g. light, or sound waves) moves relative to an observer; as a result of this relative motion, the wavelength of the wave appears lengthened/shortened to the observer. Two situations can occur:
- The source of the wave is moving towards the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes shorter. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the blue-end of the spectrum (blue-shift)
- The source of the wave is moving away from the observer - in this case, the wavelength of the wave becomes longer. If the wave is visible light, such as the light emitted by distant galaxies, this means that the wavelength of the light shifts towards the red-end of the spectrum (red-shift)
In our universe, we observe a red-shift for all the distant galaxies: this means that these galaxies are moving away from us, so this is an indication that the universe is expanding.
Answer:
The size of the force that pushes the wall is 12,250 N.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the wrecking ball, m = 1500 kg
speed of the wrecking ball, v = 3.5 m/s
distance the ball moved the wall, d = 75 cm = 0.75 m
Apply the principle of work-energy theorem;
Kinetic energy of the wrecking ball = work done by the ball on the wall
¹/₂mv² = F x d
where;
F is the size of the force that pushes the wall
¹/₂mv² = F x d
¹/₂ x 1500 x 3.5² = F x 0.75
9187.5 = 0.75F
F = 9187.5 / 0.75
F = 12,250 N
Therefore, the size of the force that pushes the wall is 12,250 N.
An output for is the force a person applies to a simple machine.
