The phenomenon which is responsible for this effect is called diffraction.

Diffraction is the ability of a wave to propagate when it meets an obstacle or a slit. When the wave encounters the obstacle or the slit, it 'bends' around it and it continues propagate beyond it. A classical example of this phenomenon is when a sound wave propagates through a wall where there is a small aperture (as in the example of this problem)

Answer:

diffraction

Explanation:

It is due to the diffraction.

Diffraction is the phenomenon in which the waves (light or sound) bends their path after striking to the sharp edged object or the sharp orifice.

Diffraction is possible if the wavelength of the waves has the order of width of the orifice.

How much work would be needed to lift the ball from the 2-m shelf to the 5-m shelf, and how much potential energy would it have
Stells [14]

Answer:

a) 2.94 N

b) 4.90 N

Explanation:

Let us assume that the weight of the ball is 0.98 N

Solution:

a) An object’s gravitational potential energy depends on two factors which are height and its weight (or mass). The equation for gravitational potential energy (PE) is given as:  

Potential energy = weight (w) * height (h)

PE = wh

Potential energy at 2 m shelf = weight * height = 0.98 N * 2 m = 1.96 N

Potential energy at 5 m shelf = weight * height = 0.98 N * 5 m = 4.90 N

The work needed to lift the ball from the 2-m shelf to the 5-m shelf = Potential energy at 5 m shelf - Potential energy at 2 m shelf

The work needed to lift the ball from the 2-m shelf to the 5-m shelf = 4.90 N - 1.96 N = 2.94 N

b) Potential energy at 5 m shelf = weight * height = 0.98 N * 5 m = 4.90 N

What is the physical property of a star used to classify the stars by spectral type?
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Stellar Spectra Classification The patterns of lines detected in stellar spectra are used by astronomers to classify stars into spectral classes. These spectral classes are a measure of a star's surface temperature since the temperature of a star dictates which absorption lines are present in its spectrum.
