During an observation, it was noticed that light diffracts as it passes through small slits in a barrier. What does this evidenc

Answer:

It reveals that light is a wave

Explanation:

Diffraction is the property of a wave in which there is a bending of the wave about the corners of an obstacle or aperture into the geometrical shadow of the obstacle or aperture.

This simply implies that a wave bends or spreads out when it passes through openings. Since the light diffracts through small slits and diffraction has been shown to occur in water waves and sound waves, this property of diffraction can only be characteristic of a wave and thus, this evidence reveals that light is a wave.

1 The question asks for a certain quantity of examples in a list (Name 6 factors that contributed to the start of World War I, What 3 subatomic particles constitute an atom? etc).
2 The question is academically precise and, therefore, indecisive in the wording (What are the 2 kinds of loading most professional engineers and academics in the field of engineering today generally consider to be relevant in most cases when considering typical types of structure usually made of common materials using well-understand methods?)
3 The question challenges the answerer to defend a position as opposed to merely rattling off a list based on knowledge alone, thereby invoking higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. (What are 4 arguments that could be used to defend arguments made by the physicists of the day that electromagnetic waves must move through an illusive substance called 'the ether?)

What happens to the gravitational potential energy between two particles if the distance between them is halved? (a) It does not
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy between two particles, if the distance between them is halved, is multiplied by 4 (option c).

Explanation:

The gravitational force is the force of mutual attraction that two objects with mass experience.

The Law of Universal Gravitation enunciated by Newton says that every material particle attracts any other material particle with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them. Mathematically this is expressed as:

F=G*\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }

where m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, r the distance between them and G a universal constant that receives  the name of constant of gravitation.

If the distance between two particles is reduced by half, then, where F' is the new value of the gravitational force:

F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{(\frac{r}{2} )^{2} }

F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{\frac{(r )^{2} }{2^{2} } }

F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{\frac{(r )^{2} }{4} }

F'=4*G*\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }

F'=4*F

What is one characteristic of a sample of matter that indicates it is a pure substance? A) It can be separated using by a physic
snow_lady [41]

D) If the composition of a sample is fixed, the sample is a pure substance.

Explanation:

A) It can be separated by using physical means, such as filtering.

Of course using physical means as filtration or crystallization we increase the purity of a compound, however sometimes impurities may remain dissolved in the solution or they may co-precipitate with the analysed sample.

B) The components in a pure substance do not have to be in definite ratios.

If the components in a substance do not have definite rations it means the the substance is not pure, it is a mixture of something.

C) If the composition of a sample varies, the sample is a pure substance.

If the composition of a sample varies, it means that different components in the substance are changing so it is a clue that the substance is not pure.

D) If the composition of a sample is fixed, the sample is a pure substance.

If the composition of a sample is fixed, and it can be determined and proven, the substance is pure.
