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

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

In this sense, diffraction 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 multiple patterns with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

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

Akeem is walking on the beach on a hot summer day.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Sand in a beach is warmer than the water of the sea.

Explanation:

Water absorbs less heat from the sun when compared with sand. Sand is darker and also is less reflective. Because of its darker nature, absorption of heat from the sun will be more. Due to its less reflective nature the sand wouldn’t be able to reflect off the sunlight.

But water is highly reflective and can reflect off a major portion of the sunlight falling on the sea. The sea is also deep and thus the heat spreads through a large volume unlike in the case of sand. Water also has the nature of constant movement unlike sand which is stable.

This factor also heats up sand more than water.

Two forces, F₁ and F₂, act at a point. F₁ has a magnitude of 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x ax

kirill115 [55]

1) -7.14 N

2) +2.70 N

3) 7.63 N

Explanation:

In order to find the x-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the x-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: this means that the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

$180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}$

so its x-component is

$F_{1x}=(8.00)(cos (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=-3.88 N$

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: so, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

$180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}$

Therefore its x-component is

$F_{2x}=(5.40)(cos (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-3.26 N$

So, the x-component of the resultant force is

$F_x=F_{1x}+F_{2x}=-3.88+(-3.26)=-7.14 N$

In order to find the y-component of the resultant force, we have to resolve each force along the y-axis.

The first force is 8.00 N and is directed at an angle of 61.0° above the negative x axis in the second quadrant: as we said previously, the angle with respect to the positive x axis is

$180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}$

so its y-component is

$F_{1y}=(8.00)(sin (180^{\circ}-61^{\circ}))=7.00 N$

F₂ has a magnitude of 5.40 N and is directed at an angle of 52.8° below the negative x axis in the third quadrant: as we said previously, its angle with respect to the positive x-axis is

$180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}$

Therefore its y-component is

$F_{2y}=(5.40)(sin (180^{\circ}+52.8^{\circ}))=-4.30 N$

So, the y-component of the resultant force is

$F_y=F_{1y}+F_{2y}=7.00+(-4.30)=2.70 N$

The two components of the resultant force representent the sides of a right triangle, of which the resultant force corresponds tot he hypothenuse.

Therefore, we can find the magnitude of the resultant force by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}$

Where in this problem, we have:

$F_x=-7.14 N$ is the x-component

$F_y=2.70 N$ is the y-component

And substituting, we find:

$F=\sqrt{(-7.14)^2+(2.70)^2}=7.63 N$

What is the relationship between ozone and smog?

Irina18 [472]

smog is a term used to describe air pollution that is a result of the interaction of sunlight with certain chemicals in the atmosphere. One of the primary components of photochemical smog is ozone. While ozone in the stratosphere protects earth from harmful UV radiation, ozone on the ground is hazardous to human health.
