Answer:

A.) Each point on a wave front acts as a source of secondary waves.

Explanation:

Huygen's principle can explain some phenomena such as the diffraction of light through a single or a double slit, and the interference pattern that we see on the screen. In fact, according to Huygen's principle, each point of the wave front inside the gap in the slit acts as a source of secondary waves: therefore, we can imagine all the points inside the slit as sources of secondary waves, and these waves interact with each other producing interference, and this is why we observe an interference pattern on the screen.

Explain why air masses do not mix
kati45 [8]

 

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

A-delta fibers : A) are small, myelinated fibers. B) transmit pain signals at a slower rate than C-fibers. C) typically transmit
daser333 [38]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Aδ fibers carry cold, pressure, and acute pain signals, and because they are thin (2 to 5 μm in diameter) and myelinated, they send impulses faster than unmyelinated C fibers, but more slowly than other, more thickly myelinated group A nerve fibers. Their conduction velocities are moderate.

A lens collects light and focuses it into a small spot. This increases the ________ of the light wave.A lens collects light and
Anika [276]

Answer:

intensity.

Explanation:

when the light collected by the lens is focused into a small spot it tends to increase the intensity of the light.

as different path of light with different intensity combines from passing through the lens it tends to make the light path and intensity coherent and after being coherent there intensity increases.

7. A 1000 kg car is rolling down the street at 2.5 m/s. How fast would a 2500 kg car have to
babunello [35]

1 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question we use the following formula:

momentum = mass × velocity

momentum of the first car = 1000 kg × 2.5 m/s

momentum of the second car = 2500 kg × X m/s

To bring the cars at rest the momentum of the first car have to be equal to the momentul of the second car.

momentum of the first car = momentum of the second car

1000 kg × 25 m/s = 2500 kg × X m/s

X (velocity of the second car) = (1000 × 25) / 2500 = 1 m/s
