Which of the following situations could cause light to diffract?

Physics
1 answer:
adelina 88 [10]4 years ago
7 0

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.

Explain why a bolt of lightning is like the spark you might see when you touch a metal object and get a shock.
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Just like lightning, the spark you see is the discharge of static electricity that equalizes the charges.  When you touch a metal object and get a shock, electrons are travelling in between you and the object to equalize the charges of the two objects.  The light that is seen is the plasma created by electrons jumping between objects which heats the air surrounding them.

Two long parallel conductors carries I1 and I2 in opposite directions. Determine the magnetic field between the wires
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

B1 = μ_o•I1/2πr

Explanation:

According to the right hand rule, we can say that the magnetic field at the second wire due to the current being carried in first wire is given by;

B1 = μ_o•I1/2πr

Where;

r is distance that separates the two wires

μ_o is a constant known as permeability of free space

I1 is current in wire 1
