Answer:

B) diffraction

Explanation:

  • It is the bending of the waves around the edge of an obstacle that is encountered by the wave in its path.
  • The size of the object from the initial direction of the wave to its edge must be of the same order as the wavelength of the wave.
  • Longer the wavelength greater is the diffraction.
  • For a particular wavelength the diffraction is maximum when the size of the gap is equal to the size of the object.

Kay [80]

Answer:

The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.  Columns (groups) and rows (periods) indicate elements that share similar characteristics. The table makes trends in element properties apparent and easy to understand. The table provides important information used to balance chemical equations. Atoms are important because they form the basic building blocks of all visible matter in the universe. There are 92 types of atoms that exist in nature, and other types of atoms can be made in the lab. The different types of atoms are called elements. Hydrogen, gold and iron are examples of elements comprised of unique types of a single kind of atom.

What magnification is best for the observation of most tissue slides? Explain why this has proved to be true?
Komok [63]

Answer:

The 10X objective is use for the identification of actual size of histology tissues and 4X magnification is best for observation of most tissues slides

Explanation:

4X magnification is best for observation of most tissues slides because it has an objective lens that have lower power and have great high field overview which make it very easier to locate specimens on the slide. It is use to get the overview of histology slides. It is use to showcase more detailed observations about histology.

The 40X objective is use majorly to identify tissue , to observe the finer details and study tissue organization on the histology slide.

What is the benefit of developing the atomic mass unit as a standard unit of mass?
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The atomic mass unit is 1/12 of an atom of carbon 12, and is a very small amount to represent in kilograms:

1m_{u}=1.66054x10^{-27}kg

m_{u} is atomic mass unit.

This is why the benefits of the atomic mass unit is that it makes the representation of atomic masses easier in terms of the simplicity of the numbers that are used to represent the masses. Also using the atomic mass unit it is easier to compare the masses of different atoms, These numbers would be very small and would require negative powers of 10 to represent them, so it is more convenient to use the atomic mass unit.
