<h2>Answer: about the same size of the gap </h2>

Diffraction happens when a wave (mechanical or electromagnetic wave, in fact, any wave) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the wave 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 <u>the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength. </u>

<u></u>

In other words, <u>when the gap (or slit) size is larger than the wavelength</u>, the wave passes through the gap and does not spread out much on the other side, but when the gap size is equal to the wavelength, maximum diffraction occurs and the waves spread out greatly.

Therefore:

<h2>Waves diffract the most when their wavelength is <u>about the same size of the gap</u> </h2>

A hamster eats a carrot before using its hamster wheel. The hamster wheel is connected to a generator which powers a light bulb.

Andrei [34K]

Answer: Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant

Explanation:

First, the Hamster eats the carrot, then the hamster is getting chemical energy.

Now the hamster starts using his wheel, then he "transforms" the chemical energy into mechanical energy.

Now the mechanical energy is connected to a generator, this means that the mechanical energy (the rotation of the wheel) is being converted into electrical energy.

And we know that there is a light bulb powered by this electrical energy, then we have electrical energy being transformed into radiant energy.

Then the correct option is:

Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant

What is the total energy of a particle with a rest mass of 1 gram moving with half the speed of light? 1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J. An

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

6.5 x 10^32 eV

Explanation:

mass of particle, mo = 1 g = 0.001 kg

velocity of particle, v = half of velocity of light = c / 2

c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

Energy associated to the particle

E = γ mo c^2

$E=\frac{m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$E=\frac{m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{c^{2}}{4c^{2}}}}$

$E=\frac{2m_{0}c^}2}{\sqrt{3}}$

$E=\frac{2\times0.001\times9\times10^{16}}{1.732}$

$E=1.04\times10^{14}J$

Convert Joule into eV

1 eV = 1.6 x 10^-19 J

So, $E=\frac{1.04\times10^{14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}=6.5\times10^{32}eV$

Why is pluto not a planet?

mihalych1998 [28]

Pluto revolves around a star instead of our SUN. So, it's an "Exo-planet" rather than a Planet. It has declared in 2006 by the scientists.

Hope this helps!

Part K Find the y-component of the stone's velocity when it is 8.00 m below your hand

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The y-component of the stone's velocity when it is 8 m below the hand is 14.86 m / s

v² = u² + 2 a s

s = Displacement

u = Initial velocity

a = Acceleration

u = 8 m / s

s = 8 m

v² = 8² + 2 * 9.8 * 8

v² = 64 + 156.8

v = √ 220.8

v = 14.86 m / s

The equation used to solve the problem is an equation of motion. These equations are designed to locate an object in motion using components such as velocity, displacement, acceleration and time.

Therefore, the y-component of the stone's velocity is 14.86 m / s

In as small room fan of rating 50 watt is used for 10hrs 2bulb of rating 10v are used for 8hrs daily.calculate monthly. electric

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The electric bill for June is Rs198000

Explanation:

Convert volt to watt, but in order to do so I need to know the amps and since it is not provided I converted if the amps was 1.

I multiple 50 with 10 then with 30 so I know how much watt the fan takes at June.

Since there are 2 light bulb I multiple 10 with 2 than with 8 than with 30.

15000 watts for the fan,

4800 watts for light bulb,

add them and then times it by 10.

Rs198000
