Answer;

-A wave with the longest wavelength.

Explanation;

-Diffraction is the apparent of wave through,around small obstacles and the spreading out of wave past small openings. When thinking of diffraction of a wave think of shining a flashlight around a corner. The light bends around the corner but there is a place where it is dark and the light does not hit. Diffraction of a wave is basically the wave bending around an object then dispersing out.

-The amount of diffraction (the sharpness of the bending) increases with increasing wavelength and decreases with decreasing wavelength. When the wavelength of the waves is smaller than the obstacle, no noticeable diffraction occurs.

9.80 1. The density of mercury is 13600 kg/m³. What is this value in g/cm³? 2. Find the mass of water which will fit in a large

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

1. 13..6 grams per centimeters cubed.

2. Mass = 400kg

3. Volume = 200cm = 2m

Explanation:

1. The conversion for kg/m^3 to g/cm^3 is divide by 1000.

2. $density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

$1000=\frac{mass}{2 * 1 * 0.2}$

$1000*0.4=mass$

$400kg = mass$

3. $density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

$0.6=\frac{120}{volume}$

$volume=\frac{120}{0.6}$

$volume= 200cm$

One of the key disadvantages of buying fitness equipment is __________. A. privacy B. flexibility C. maintenance D. choice Pleas

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

<h2>C. maintenance </h2>

Explanation:

I personally believe one key disadvantages is the cost of maintaining the equipment unlike the gym where you have to subscribe for the month or the year and forget about anything, owning the gym equipment comes with the extra cost and responsibilities of maintenance to the owners.

Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect? A water bug on the surface of a pond is producing small ripples in t

noname [10]

Answer:

A police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase.

Explanation:

In Physics, Doppler effect can be defined as the change in frequency of a wave with respect to an observer in motion and moving relative to the source of the wave.

Simply stated, Doppler effect is the change in wave frequency as a result of the relative motion existing between a wave source and its observer.

The term "Doppler effect" was named after an Austrian mathematician and physicist known as Christian Johann Doppler while studying the starlight in relation to the movement of stars.

<em>The phenomenon of Doppler effects is generally applicable to both sound and light. </em>

An example of the Doppler effect is a police car with its siren on is driving towards you, and you perceive the pitch of the siren to increase. This is so because when a sound object moves towards you, its sound waves frequency increases, thereby causing a higher pitch. However, if the sound object is moving away from the observer, it's sound waves frequency decreases and thus resulting in a lower pitch.

<em>Other fields were the Doppler effects are applied are; astronomy, flow management, vibration measurement, radars, satellite communications etc. </em>

A 4.44 l container holds 15.4 g of oxygen at 22.55°c. what is the pressure?

padilas [110]

We will use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT, where n is moles and equal to mass / Mr
P = mRT/MrV
P = 15.4 x 8.314 x (22.55 + 273) / 32 x 4.44
P = 266.3 kPa
