<h2>Answer: Diffraction</h2><h2 />

Diffraction is a characteristic phenomenon that occurs in all types of waves .

In this sense, <u>diffraction</u> happens when a wave (the light in this case) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the light bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming <u><em>multiple patterns</em></u> with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that <u>the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength. </u>

What is newton's second law of motion?

lord [1]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

A proton moving at 3.90 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.80 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

$\theta=40^0$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic force is

$F_m=evB\sin\theta$

To find the angle, we make $\sin\theta$ subject of the formula

$\implies \sin\theta=\frac{F_m}{evB}=\frac{7.20\times 10^{-13}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 3.90\times 10^6\times 1.80}$

$\implies \sin\theta=0.641025641$

$\therefore \theta=\sin^{-1}=39.8683^0\\\implies \theta\approxeq 40^0$

Masses A and B rest on very light pistons that enclose a fluid.There is no friction between the pistons and the cylinders they f

RSB [31]

Answer:

D)Not enough information

Explanation:

According to Pascal's principle, the pressure exerted on the two pistons is equal:

$p_A = p_B$

Pressure is given by the ratio between force F and area A, so we can write

$\frac{F_A}{A_A}=\frac{F_B}{A_B}$

The force exerted on each piston is just equal to the weight of the corresponding mass: $F=W=mg$ , where m is the mass and g is the gravitational acceleration. So the equation becomes

$\frac{m_A g}{A_A}=\frac{m_B g}{A_B}$

Now we can rewrite the mass as the product of volume, V, times density, d:

$\frac{V_A d_A g}{A_A}=\frac{V_B d_B g}{A_B}$

We also know that $A_B = 2.0 m^2\\A_A = 1.0 m^2$

So we can further re-arrange the equation (and simplify g as well):

$\frac{V_A d_A}{1}=\frac{V_B d_B}{2}$

$\frac{d_A}{d_B}=\frac{V_B}{2V_A}$

We are also told that block B has bigger volume than block A: $V_B > V_A$ . However, this information is not enough to allow us to say if the fraction on the right is greater than 1 or smaller than 1: therefore, we cannot conclude anything about the densities of the two objects.
