Answer:

Water particles move up and down while the waves passes.

The wave carries the energy forward. The medium particles (here, water particles) do not move along with the wave they oscillate about a fixed position.

As the boat at rest moves up and down, it means the water particles are oscillating vertically up and down while the wave is carrying the energy forward.

Answer:

Explanation:

Width of slit a = 1 x 10⁻³ / 210

a = 4.76 x 10⁻⁶ m .

angle at which first order peak is formed

= λ / a         (where λ is wavelength and a is width of slit)

given λ = 506 x 10⁻⁹ m

a = 4.76 x 10⁻⁶

θ = 506 x 10⁻⁹ / 4.76 x 10⁻⁶

= 106.3 x 10⁻³ radian .

first order peak is formed  at an angle of 106.3 x 10⁻³ radian .
