Many new headphones on the market are called "noise reducing" because they take sound waves that come in from the outside and add a sound wave to it that is exactly opposite (out of phase) to it, these add together to make no noise. this is a good example of sound wave. a) absorption. eliminate b) diffraction. c) destructive interference d) constructive interference

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. a brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. a laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. in order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0 km in diameter. staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser. part a if λ = 540nm , what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

At the negative terminal of the battery the electron has electric potential energy. what happens to this energy as the electron jumps from the negative to the positive terminal?
