Answer:

B. Light passes through a small opening

Explanation:

Diffraction is one of the properties of wave defined as the bending of wave around corners. It occurs mostly when waves passes through a tiny opening or slit. The type of waveform generated by the wave depends on the type of opening or slit that the medium passes through. The opening can be tiny or large.

Based on the definition, it can be inferred that the situation that causes light waves to diffract is when the light passes through a small opening. For example, the light of a torch passing through a tiny door hole is diffraction.

The top of the pool table is 0.810 m from the floor. the placement of the tape is such that 0 m is aligned with the edge of the
8090 [49]
Compute first for the vertical motion, the formula is:

y = gt²/2 

0.810 m = (9.81 m/s²)(t)²/2 

t = 0.4064 s 


whereas the horizontal motion is computed by: 

x = (vx)t 

4.65 m = (vx)(0.4064 s) 

4.65 m/ 0.4064s = (vx)

(vx) = 11.44 m / s
So look for the final vertical speed. 

(vy) = gt 

(vy) = (9.81 m/s²)(0.4064 s) 

(vy) = 3.99 m/s 


speed with which it hit the ground: 

v = sqrt[(vx)² + (vy)²] 

v = sqrt[(11.44 m/s)² + (3.99 m/s)²] 

v = 12.12 m / s

You are traveling at 14 m/s for 20 seconds. What is your displacement?
enyata [817]

Velocity = 14 m/s

Time = 20 s

Displacement = Velocity×Time = (14×20) m = 280 m

The displacement is 280 m towards the direction of motion.

Electromagnetic waves require a medium to transfer energy<br> True or False
Simora [160]

The statemengt is <em>false</em>. Electromgnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. They can transfer energy through vacuum (empty space with nothing in it). If electrimagnetic waves needed a medium to move through from place to place, then we could never see the sun, and also it would get very cold here.
