<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>

True or false: Balanced forces can change an object's direction?

slava [35]

The statement is false. Balanced forces can NOT change the speed OR direction of an object's motion. (See Newton's #1 law of motion.)

Starburst galaxies:

Answer:

are often associated with a galaxy that is colliding with another galaxy.

Explanation:

A starburst galaxy is a galaxy that undergoes very fast formation of stars. The rate at which stars are born is 100 times more than 3 solar masses per year of the Milky Way. The starburst is stage of the formation of a galaxy. After this stage is complete the stars will have used almost all the gas in it. As the star formation rate is very fast the difference between the age of the stars and the galaxy itself is very less. The star formation is triggered by mergers and tidal interactions between gas-rich galaxies.

The distance between planets varies as they move in their orbits. The minimum distance from the Earth to Mars is about 0.35 AU.

Alina [70]

Answer:

52,360,000km

Explanation:

To solve this problem you use a conversion factor.

By taking into account that 1UA = 1.496*10^{8}km you obtain:

$0.35UA*\frac{1.496*10^{8}km}{1UA}=52,360,000km$
