<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>

How could you tell whether or not you are in a magnetic feild
Aleks04 [339]
Magnetic fields are areas where an object exhibits a magnetic influence. The fields affect neighboring objects along things called magnetic field lines. A magnetic object can attract or push away another magnetic object. You also need to remember that magnetic forces are NOT related to gravity. The amount of gravity is based on an object's mass, while magnetic strength is based on the material that the object is made of.

Suppose the sphere is electrically neutral. Is it attracted to
Elden [556K]

Answer:

No, it is not attracted.

Explanation:

If any sphere is electrically neutral it is not attracted. The materials which are attracted by magnet are called magnetic material whereas which are not attracted are called non magnetic material. Sphere made up of non magnetic materials such as glass, wood, paper will not attracted weather is kept near north pole or near south pole.

a spaceship is traveling at a speed of 15000 km/s from planet b toward planet a the spaceship sends out a signal with a waveleng
Bumek [7]

Answer: 4nmeter

Explanation: The two observer a and b will measure the same wavelength since the speed of the space craft is very small compared with the speed of light c. That is

V which is the speed of space craft 15000km/s = 15000000m/s

Comparing this with the speed of light c 3*EXP(8)m/s we have

15000000/300000000

= 0.05=0.1

Therefore the speed of the space craft V in terms of the speed of light c is 0.1c special relativity does not apply to object moving at such speed. So the wavelength would not be contracted it will remain same for both observers.
