<span>The light slightly "bends" as it goes around the edges of the object. This bending is typically dependent upon the size of the barrier in comparison to the wavelength of the object being diffracted. The more similar in size the two are, the much more noticeable the diffraction tends to be.</span>

Diffraction is the slight bending of light when it passes around the edge of an object. The amount of bending depends on the relative of the wavelength of the light wave to the size of the opening. If the opening is much larger than the wavelength the bending will be almost unnoticeable but if the two are equal or closer in length then the diffraction will be noted. Therefore, the correct answer is bends.

You estimate the radius of the big wheel to be 19 m

posledela

Explanation:

first, find the circumference of the wheel by using the formula 2(pi)(r):

2(pi)(19) = 119.380521

divide by 25 secs

119.380521/25 = 4.77522083

round to the nearest tenth is 4.8, so the speed is 4.8mm/sec

Most of the mass of the Milky Way exists in the form of A. dust. B. stars. C. dark matter. D. gas.

OLga [1]

Answer:

C. Dark Matter

Explanation:

Dark matter is estimated to make up 90 percent of the mass of the galaxy.

The dark matter (as astronomers have come to call the invisible material) extends to a distance of at least 200,000 light-years from the center of the Galaxy.

6a. A special lamp can produce UV radiation. Which two statements

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The correct options are:

B) They have the same wave speed as visible light

D) They have a lower frequency than gamma rays.

Explanation:

B) Ultraviolet rays, commonly known as UV rays, are a type of electromagnetic ways. As electromagnetic waves, in the layman's term, are all kinds of life that can be identified, all electromagnetic waves (UV rays, visible light, infrared, radio etc) all travel with the same velocity, that is the speed of light, given as v = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

D) The frequency of all electromagnetic rays can be found by electromagnetic spectrum (picture attached below).

We can clearly see in the picture that the frequencies of UV rays lie at about 10¹⁵ - 10¹⁶ Hz which is lower than the frequency of Gamma ray, which lie at about 10²⁰ Hz.
