When a body hits an obstacle the force with which it hits the obstacle depends upon?

When a body hits an obstacle the force with which it hits the obstacle depends upon---the velocity at the installation of collision bt not on initial velocity.


What happens to light when it hits transparent or opaque liquid crystal in a digital watch?

light passes through transparent, and reflects off opaque.


What happens when light passes through one transparent material into clear water?

the light is transmitted through the transparent material into the water which is transmitted untill it hits soething opaque amd the light is absorbed into that.


Which wave diffracts the most when encountering an obstacle?

Firstly, diffraction refers to what happens to a range of wavelengths. It means the different wavelengths are spread out, producing a spectrum under the right circumstances. Secondly, the 'obstacle' has to be transparent, so the waves pass from one medium to another. More properly, light hits the boundary between two transparent media (e.g. air and glass), and it is refracted(bent) as it enters the glass block. Shorter wavelengths are refracted more, so the beam is spread out, or diffracted. The easy way to remember this is 'blue bends best'.


What happens when light hits a transparent material?

Even though you can see through a material..i.e. it is transparent...it may have color and a physicist will want to know this information. What type of light is hitting this material is important to include in your question as well as the type of transparent material. What type of light? (and the strength ...source would be great) What type of material? What color is the material? Answer: It allows light to pass through a material

What happens when noise encounters a metal object?

When it hits metal, electromagnetic radiation induces a small signal, which means that random noise can interfere with signals used for communication.


What happens to a beam of light once it hits water?

The incident ray (the incoming light) hits the water and then the speed is slowed. It is called 'Refraction'. Which is the bending of light through a translucent or transparent object.
