<h2>Answer: about the same size of the gap  or slit</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 the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength.

In other words, when the gap (or slit) size is larger than the wavelength, 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.

Therefore:

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

A cyclotron with a magnetic field of 0.47 t is designed to accelerate protons in a circle with a radius 0.68 m. What is the angu
Ghella [55]

The angular frequency of the cyclotron is 0.07 x 10^{8}Hz.

<h3>What is angular frequency?</h3>
  • Angular frequency, abbreviated "ω" is a scalar measure of rotation rate in physics.
  • It describes the rate of change of the argument of the sine function, the rate of change of the phase of a sinusoidal waveform, or the angular displacement per unit of time.
<h3>What is cyclotron?</h3>

The cyclotron device is made to accelerate charge particles to extremely high speeds by applying crossed electric and magnetic fields.

<h3>Calculation of angular frequency:</h3>

Given,

B = 0.47 T

r = 0.68

mass of proton = 1.6x10^{-27}

q = 1.6 x 10^{-19}

so, the frequency is:

f = qB/2\pim

f = 1.6 x 10^{-19} x 0.47/2x3.14x1.6x10^{-27}

f = 0.07 x 10^{8}

Hence, the angular frequency of the cyclotron is  0.07 x 10^{8}Hz.

Orlov [11]

Answer

• Improving the environmental performances

• Developing Green Mining technology

Explanation

The effect to the environment caused by opal mining are; impact on soils and geology, clearing of native vegetation disrupting flora and fauna, change in land use and effects of air quality.

Opal mining is currently examining environmental impacts and adopting measures that mitigate the impacts making the process less destructive to the environment.

With the current commitment to sustainability, opal companies are investing funds for Green Mining as a positive way to impact the environment before and after mining.
