Answer: The correct answer is "The wave will bend or defract".

Explanation:

Diffraction: It is the phenomenon in which the light gets bend around the corner of the aperture or a slit. There is a spreading of the waves as they pass through an aperture.

The wavelength of the wave is comparable or greater than the size of the aperture to observe diffraction. If the wavelength of the wave is not comparable or greater than the size of the aperture then in this case, the diffraction is unnoticeable.

In the given problem, a wave is approaching a barrier that has a small hole at the center. A small hole is aperture here. The wave will bend or defract. The diffraction phenomenon will occur in this case.

Therefore, the correct option is (B).

The strength of the electric field at a certain distance from a point charge is represented by E. What is the strength of the el
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Using Coulomb's law equation

Force of the charge = k qQ /d²

and E = F/ q

substitute for F

E = ( K Qq/ d² ) / q

q cancel q

E = KQ / d²

so twice  the distance of the from the point charge will lead to the E ( electric field ) decrease by a 4 = E/4. E is inversely proportional to d²

Karen has a mass of 51.9 kg as she rides the up escalator at Woodley Park Station of the Washington D.C. Metro. Karen rode a dis
kifflom [539]

Answer:

28852 J

Explanation:

When a force applied in a body produces a displacement in it, the force realized a work. The force that moves Karen is contrary to her weight and must be equal to it.

The work (W) is:

W = F.d.cos(θ), where F is the force, d is the displacement, and θ is the angle.

Knowing that cos(26°) = 0.899, and F = m*g

W = 51.9*9.8*63.1*0.899

W = 28852 J

<span>Discuss the relationship between electric and magnetic fields. How are they related?</span>

The magnetic field is related to the electric field in such a way that magnetic fields moves perpendicular the electric field. This relationship exists between a magnetic field and an electric field is a consequence of associating elementary particles.
