| 咁我想問問diffraction,,reflection 會唔會有energy loss架!? 佢地既amplitude都會gradually decrease?? thanks~ 小霞的fans 發表於 13/4/2010 11:44 AM During reflection, there should have no energy loss During diffraction, there will also have no energy loss but it leads to change in direction of wave propagation and re-distribution of energy. That is, some energy in the original wave are distributed to the 'bended' side of the diffracted wave. ︱ \ << some original energy is distributed here ︱ ︱ ︱ ︱ ︱ ︱ ︱ / << some original energy is distributed here The amplitude of the wave will decrease gradually as it travels because there will be resistance and hence energy is lost to the surrounding |
