Answer:

The opening needs to be smaller

Explanation:

Diffraction can be observed when the light passes through a grid or an opening that has a width of about the same size or smaller than the wavelength of the light that is being used.

We need the opening to be smaller than the wavelength so the bean can be splitted and we are able to see diffraction.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

163.8 ft

Explanation:

In triangle ABD

$AB$ = 155 ft

$Cos63 = \frac{BD}{AB} = \frac{BD}{155}\\BD = 155 Cos63 \\BD = 70.4 ft$

$Sin63 = \frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{AD}{155} \\AD = 166 Sin63\\AD = 148 ft$

Using Pythagorean theorem in triangle ADC

$AC^{2} = AD^{2} + DC^{2} \\175^{2} = 148^{2} + DC^{2} \\DC = 93.4 ft$

$d$ = distance between the anchor points

distance between the anchor points is given as

$d = BD + CD = 70.4 + 93.4\\d = 163.8 ft$

topjm [15]

Explanation:

u=166m/s, v=0(at it's highest point final velocity is zero), a=9.8m/s², t=8.6s

by the formula, S=ut+½at².

S=[166×8.6+½.×9.8×(8.6)²]. ...by calculation

S = 1427.6+362.404

S=1790.004m

hope this helps you.

A sound wave of 70 cm travels 840 m in 2.5 sec. What is the velocity and frequency of sound?

Darya [45]

-- Speed = (distance) / (time to cover the distance) = 840/2.5 = 336 m/s

-- Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength) = 336/0.70 = 480 Hz.
