Reflection: a change in direction of a wave at a boundary between two different media.
sentence: i saw my reflection in the mirror.
refraction: the bending of light as it passes from one transparent substance into another.
sentence: when light goes through glass, it’s a refraction.
diffraction: the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle.
sentence: spaced tracks on a CD act as a diffraction.
absorption: the process or action by which one thing absorbs or is absorbed by another.
sentence: heat waves hitting the beach usually give most of their energy to the sand.
interference: when two waves lay on each other and their energies are either added together or cancelled out.
sentence: interference waves can be observed with all types of waves.
standing wave: two waves moving in opposite directions. they both have the same amplitude or frequency.
sentence: plucking the string of a guitar is an example of standing waves.
resonance: increased amplitude that occurs when the frequency of a force is equal or close to a natural frequency.
sentence:a buzz in your car that only occurs at a certain speed is an example or resonance.
Answer:
C: Variation in the value of g as the pendulum bob moves along its arc.
Explanation:
The formula for period of a simple pendulum is given by;
T = 2π√(L/g)
Where;
L is length
g is acceleration due to gravity
Now, from this period equation, it is clear that the only thing that can affect the period of a simple pendulum are changes to its length and acceleration due to gravity.
Looking at the options, the only one that talks about either the length or gravity as being potential causes of the error is option C
Distance in the y direction.
