Answer:

⬇

Explanation:

(a)(Refraction is the bending of light. It also happens with sound, water and other waves. )Optical effects resulting from diffraction are produced through the interference of light waves. To visualize this, imagine light waves as water waves. If water waves were incident upon a float residing on the water surface, the float would bounce up and down in response to the incident waves, producing waves of its own. As these waves spread outward in all directions from the float, they interact with other water waves. If the crests of two waves combine, an amplified wave is produced (constructive interference). However, if a crest of one wave and a trough of another wave combine, they cancel each other out to produce no vertical displacement (destructive interference).

(b)

Diffraction is the slight bending of light as it passes around the edge of an object. The amount of bending depends on the relative size of the wavelength of light to the size of the opening. If the opening is much larger than the light's wavelength, the bending will be almost unnoticeable. However, if the two are closer in size or equal, the amount of bending is considerable, and easily seen with the naked eye.

Answer:

Explanation: light waves against itself, which leads to internal interference of different wave component Which is also referred to as diffraction.

Diffraction causes beam of light to slowly spread out as it travels, so that some of the light will bend away from a straight line motion of the main part of the wave

How many calories are needed to raise the temperature of 2g of water 3 C?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The number of calories needed is 6c.

Explanation:

The amount of energy Q needed to raise the temperature \Delta T of water of mass m is

Q = mC\Delta T

where C = 1cal/g\cdot C is the specific heat capacity of water.

Putting in numbers into equation (1), we get:

Q = (2g)(1)(3^oC )\\

\boxed{Q = 6\:cal }

which is the number of calories needed.

A 500.-kg roller coaster car starts from rest at the top of a 60.0-meter hill.
Paraphin [41]

1.47x10^5 Joules  
The gravitational potential energy will be the mass of the object, multiplied by the height upon which it can drop, multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration. And since it started at the top of a 60.0 meter hill, halfway will be at 30.0 meters. So  
500 kg * 30.0 m * 9.8 m/s^2 = 147000 kg*m^2/s^ = 147000 Joules.  
Using scientific notation and 3 significant figures gives 1.47x10^5 Joules.

omeli [17]

pavement is defined as the surface of Road or sidewalk.

for example, the surface of Expressway.

There are two types of pavement.

rigid pavement which consists of one layer.

flexible pavement which consist of multiple layers.

While driving on roads of rural areas, if our right wheel moves off the pavement, we should always hold the steering wheel firmly and then take our foot off the pedal, then apply brake lightly until we are moving at a low speed.

if you run off the pavement, you should: turn the steering wheel quickly toward the road steer straight and slow down before attempting to return to the pavement steer straight ahead and speed up apply the brakes hard

A “real” image occurs when light rays actually intersect at the image, and become inverted, or turned upside down. ... In flat, or plane mirrors, the image is a virtual image, and is the same distance behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror. The image is also the same size as the object.
