A change in the direction of a wave when the wave finds and obstacle or an edge, such as an opening, bending waves around a barrier is called *diffraction*.
Bumek [7]3 years ago

Diffraction. Can be seen in a school "ripple tank experiment". Plane/straight water waves approach an obstacle. At the edges of the obstacle, the waves will be seen to "bend" or to "spread" into what "should" be the shadow of the obstacle. Same thing happens with all waves going to barriers with the correct geometry.

Suppose you take a 50gram ice cube from the freezer at an initial temperature of -20°C. How much energy would it take to complet
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The amount of energy required is 152.68\times 10^{3}Joules

Explanation:

The energy required to convert the ice to steam is the sum of:

1) Energy required to raise the temperature of the ice from -20 to 0 degree Celsius.

2) Latent heat required to convert the ice into water.

3) Energy required to raise the temperature of water from 0 degrees to 100 degrees

4) Latent heat required to convert the water at 100 degrees to steam.

The amount of energy required in each process is as under

1) Q_1=mass\times S.heat_{ice}\times \Delta T\\\\Q_1=50\times 2.05\times 20=2050Joules

where

'S.heat_{ice}' is specific heat of ice =2.05J/^{o}C\cdot gm

2) Amount of heat required in phase 2 equals

Q_2=L.heat\times mass\\\\\therefore Q_{2}=334\times 50=16700Joules

3) The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water from 0 to 100 degrees centigrade equals

Q_3=mass\times S.heat\times \Delta T\\\\Q_1=50\times 4.186\times 100=20930Joules

where

'S.heat_{water}' is specific heat of water=4.186J/^{o}C\cdot gm

4) Amount of heat required in phase 4 equals

Q_4=L.heat\times mass\\\\\therefore Q_{4}=2260\times 50=113000Joules\\\\\\\\\\\\Thus the total heat required equals Q=Q_{1}+Q_{2}+Q_{3}+Q_{4}\\\\Q=152.68\times 10^{3}Joules
