Answer:
D) the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening
Explanation:
Even though light travels in straight line, it will bend around objects if their size is comparative to its wavelength. This phenomenon is called diffraction.
Light will also bend if the light travels from one medium to another medium at an angle, but that is called refraction.
Diffraction occurs in one medium. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
<em>The gold used in the making of jewelry is usually not pure but a heterogeneous mixture of metals. Pure gold is quite soft and even though it may look better in appearance compared to those made using heterogeneous mixtures, it usually bends easily. Hence, in order to make the jewelry more durable, gold is usually mixed with other metals to form a heterogeneous mixture. </em>
The correct option is A.
Answer:
Newton's second law of motion describes the relationship between force and acceleration. They are directly proportional. If you increase the force applied to an object, the acceleration of that object increases by the same factor. In short, force equals mass times acceleration.
Explanation:
As per the question, the velocity of the airplane [v] = 660 miles per hour.
The total time taken by airplane [t] = 3.5 hours.
We are asked to determine the total distance travelled by the airplane during that period.
The distance covered [ S] by a body is the product of velocity with the time.
Mathematically distance covered = velocity × total time
S = v × t
= 660 miles/hour ×3.5 hours
= 2310 miles.
Hence, the total distance travelled by the airplane in 3.5 hour is 2310 miles.
The process that produces the energy radiated by stars is nuclear fusion in the core.
For a star on the main sequence, it's the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.
