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).

What happens to the position of an object as an unbalanced force acts on it? Give an example.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Hi! I'm a few days late since I just saw this question just now, but I'll answer anyway.

Answer:

When an unbalanced force acts on a moving object, the velocity of the object will change. Change in velocity means a change in speed, direction, or both. For example, if you kick a soccer ball and it moves from one place to another, it means that unbalanced forces are acting upon it. The ball moves from one place to another after kicking it so the position changed.

The temperature of 1.94 kg of water is 34 °C. To cool the water, ice at 0°C is added to it. The desired final temperature of the
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

0.058 kg or 58 g

Explanation:

The amount of heat energy required to cool 1.94 kg of water from 34 Celcius to 11 Celcius degrees is:

H = mc\Delta t

where m = 1.94 kg is the water mass, c = 4186 J/kg.C is water specific heat and \Delta t = t_2 - t_1 = 34 - 11 = 23^o C

Hence H = 1.94 * 4186 * 23 = 186779.32  J

The required mass of ice to absorb this amount of heat would be

m_i = \frac{H}{L_f} = \frac{186779.32}{33.5*10^4} = 0.058 kg = 58 g

I believe it's a floating balloon because for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, so the balloon floats up and eventually floats back down.
