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

Which of the following is the best definition of gravity?
IRISSAK [1]

In physics, gravity is the natural force that causes things to fall toward the earth. The noun gravity can also mean seriousness or solemnity. Someone who conducts themselves with an air of gravity is someone who takes what they are doing seriously.

Two spheres A and B of negligible dimensions and masses 1 kg and √3 kg respectively, are supported on the smooth circular surfac
alexdok [17]

Answer:

α = π/3

β = π/6

Explanation:

Use arc length equation to find the sum of the angles.

s = rθ

π/20 m = (0.1 m) (α + β)

π/2 = α + β

Draw a free body diagram for each sphere.  Both spheres have three forces acting on them:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the surface,

and tension force T pulling tangential to the surface.

Sum of forces on A in the tangential direction:

∑F = ma

T − m₁g sin α = 0

T = m₁g sin α

Sum of forces on B in the tangential direction:

∑F = ma

T − m₂g sin β = 0

T = m₂g sin β

Substituting:

m₁g sin α = m₂g sin β

m₁ sin α = m₂ sin β

(1 kg) sin α = (√3 kg) sin (π/2 − α)

1 sin α = √3 cos α

tan α = √3

α = π/3

β = π/6

U can also add solar energy and hydro energy. Solar energy is by using the sun, while hydro is by using the force of water.
This is how hydro energy works:
its is usually built near a waterfall, OK so when the water falls of the cliff of the water fall , it creates a force which helps turn the generator and then it is carried into poles of electricity. 
Hope this helps plus i gave u extra point Good luck :)
