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.

Force F acts between a pair of charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. For each of the statements, use the drop-down menu
lora16 [44]

The initial force between the two charges is given by:

F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, d their separation. Let's analyze now the other situations:

1. F

In this case, q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

q_1' = \frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2' = 2 q_2\\d' = d

So, the new force is:

F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(\frac{q_1}{2})(2q_2)}{d^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=F

So the force has not changed.

2. F/4

In this case, q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.

So, we have:

q_1' = q_1\\q_2' = q_2\\d' = 2d

So, the new force is:

F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{q_1 q_2)}{(2d)^2}=\frac{1}{4} k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{4}

So the force has decreased by a factor 4.

3. 6F

In this case, q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

q_1' = 2 q_1\\q_2' = 3 q_2\\d' = d

So, the new force is:

F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(2 q_1)(3 q_2)}{d^2}=6 k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=6F

So the force has increased by a factor 6.

Use the collision theory to explain how increasing the temperature of a reaction will affect the rate of the reaction.
kirill115 [55]
Increasing the temperature causes the particles in the reaction to become kinetically excited, hitting one another in increasing frequency. Increased collision among means faster rate or reaction.
