<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>

A circuit has a voltage drop of 54.0 V across a 30.0 o resistor that carries a current of 1.80 A. What is the power used by the

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

P = 97.2 W

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage drop, V = 54 V

The resistance of the resistor, R = 20 Ohms

Current, I = 1.8 A

We need to find the power used by the resistor. The formula used to find the power is given by :

P = VI

Putting all the values,

P = 54 V × 1.8 A

P = 97.2 W

So, the power used by the resistor is 97.2 W.

Richard is driving home to visit his parents. 135{\rm mi} of the trip are on the interstate highway where the speed limit is 65{

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

time spent = 0.2276

Explanation:

given data

distance = 135 mi

usual speed = 65 mph

today speed = 73 mph

solution

we get here time that is express as

time = $\frac{distance}{speed}$ ...................1

usual time = $\frac{135}{65}$ = 2.0769 h

today time = $\frac{135}{73}$ = 1.8493 h

so we get here time spent as

time spent = 2.0769 h - 1.8493 h

time spent = 0.2276

1. You get hit with a force of 45 N by a ball with a mass of 0.75 kg. How fast was the

dlinn [17]

Answer:

$60 {ms}^{ - 2}$

Explanation:

As we know,

=》Force = Mass × Acceleration

=》45 N = 0.75 × Acceleration

=》Acceleration = 45 ÷ 0.75

=》Acceleration = 60

hence, the Acceleration of the ball would be. 60 meters per second square

$60m {s}^{ - 2}$

Which of the following is an obstacle to creating computer-based models for tracking a hurricane?

AnnZ [28]

Forecasters must consider a large number of variables that affect the path of the storm.
This makes it difficult to create computer-based models because all of these variables are hard to incorporate.
