<span>The answer is 15 centimeters. The waves with the smallest wavelengths (also highest frequency) have the least capacity to diffract around objects hence have a shadowing effect, behind the object, especially if the wavelength is small compared to the object. This is also the reason why high-frequency electromagnetic waves do not have a good reach in mountainous regions. </span>

The correct choice is

15 centimeters

The diffraction of the sound waves takes place when the wavelength of sound wave is comparable with the size of the object. Waves of wavelengths 1 meter, 5 meter, and 12.5 meters are comparable to the size of the doorway while the wavelength 15 centimeters is very small compared to the size of the doorway. hence the waves of wavelength 15 cm diffracts the least.

valina [46]

The time for the car to drive directly south is determined as 7.15 s.

<h3>Time for the car to drive directly west</h3>

The time for the car to drive directly south is determined by applying the concept of slope.

slope = Δy/Δx

a = Δv/Δt

Δt = Δv/a

Δt = (26.8)/(3.75)

Δt = 7.15 s

Thus, the time for the car to drive directly south is determined as 7.15 s.

What's the dielectric constant of ceramic?<br> A. 1,200<br> B. 900<br> C. 80<br> D. 7.500
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

7.5

Explanation:

The dielectric constant of ceramics is about 7.5.

The dielectric constant of a substance is the ratio of the electric permeability of a substance to the electric permeability of free space.

Dielectric constant gives a good overview about the ability of substance to store charges compared to another.

Most substances have their electric constant and they suggest the ease by which they can store electrical energy. This is very important in developing capacitors.
