Answer:
24 N
Explanation:
= mass of the cube = 
Consider the three cubes together as one.
= mass of the three cubes together = 
= acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²
= Force applied on the combination
Using Newton's second law
= Force by the left cube on the middle cube
Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have
I'd say diffraction since sound waves can bend around objects like corners. Let's say you're in the hallway and you can hear sound coming from a door. The sound waves diffract around the door and spread out into the hallway, making it possible for you to hear.
Also, you can hear it before you see it because light waves are shorter than sound waves and hardly diffract around doors.
