How does RF radiation differ from ionizing radiation? How are mechanical and electromagnetic waves similar? How does a quantum computer work? How does electromagnetic radiation affect the environment? What is the range of wavelengths for FM radio?
And that if the path difference of the wave traveled is an integral value of wavelengths, constructive interference occurs However, my problem is, that in all the diagrams, I don't see how interference could occur, because the waves are in two distinct locations, therefore, not interfering at...
The points show intersections of rays traced to focus for different wavelengths (colors) of light, in this case red, green and blue. This type of intercept plot, (commonly called a spot diagrams), is a common diagnostic tool used in optical design. The behavior of traced rays can also be...
White light, like sunlight, contains all of the different frequencies of light traveling in all directions, including ones that are beyond the visible spectrum. Although this light allows you to see everything around you, it's relatively chaotic. It contains lots of different wavelengths traveling...
objects through the sense of hearing rather than the sense of sight. Bats emit bursts of sound of frequencies far beyond the upper limits of human hearing. Sounds with short wavelengths are reflected even from very small objects. A bat can unerringly locate and catch even a mosquito in total...
six sound wavelengths are driven through the air that vary in height and frequency. If the wavelength has a high frequency rate (moving up and down really fast), the higher pitch the sound is compared a slower frequency rate that has a lower pitch. Now, if the guitar strings are stuck ...
Constructive and Destructive InterferenceSound waves of equal amplitude, offset at half wavelengths, result in compression waves with an amplitude of 0—canceling out the sound. The two waves are then said to be “out of phase” and subtracted from one another as the positive pressures of one ...
Why do wavelengths (and their associated values in nm: 656.3 ...434.1) go from right to left, and the smaller the value the longer the wave, rather than shorter? Can standing waves be related to both harmonics and formants or just one of these phenomena?
The farther they travel from the source, the more they spread and the quieter the sound becomes. However, high-frequency waves don't spread as much as low-frequency waves. Also, waves with long wavelengths generally travel farther than ones with short wavelengths. There are plenty of other ...
