We look at what happens to the phase of a wave upon reflection.
We can rewrite these equations using Snell's Law to eliminate the
term. From simple trigonometry we know that
We also know from Snell's law that
so we have
We can substitute this into
Similarly we can derive that
This form allows us to easily plot the coefficients for different values of
For example,here are the coefficients for the case where
It
is interesting to note that the sign of the coefficient can change onreflection.
This corresponds to a phase change by
upon reflection.
We can also look at what happens to the reflection coefficients when
That
is going from a high index of refraction material to a lesser. In this case wesee at the critical angle we get total internal reflection. What happens to
the phase here is complicated.
When we have
(or
it is convenient to write
Now to understand what this implies we need to digress a little. Recall that
We could have written this as
then we see that
Now consider
Now looking back at
we see that
where
We could go through a similar excersize for
and
get the same result with
Figure 20-8 in Pedrotti and Pedrotti summarizes all the possible phase
changes.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control
Innocent
I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
