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).

a 70 kg man standing on ice throws a 3 kg body horizontally at 8 m/s. the friction coefficient between the ice and his feet is 0
GalinKa [24]

The distance at which the man slips is 0.3 m

Newton's Second Law, F = ma, is used to calculate the braking distance. By dividing the mass of the car by the gravitational acceleration, one may determine its weight. The weight of the car multiplied by the coefficient of friction equals the brake force.

Given-

mass of man= 70 kg

frictional coefficient μ=0.02

mass of body thrown= m2 = 3kg

let s be the stopping distance

we know that frictional force = F= μN

=μMg= 0.02 x 70 x 10

=14 N

∴acceleration, a= 14/70 = 0.2 m/s²

now on applying conservation of linear momentum

pi=pf            pi=0 (initially at rest)

0=m1v1-m2v2 (v1= velocity of man) (v2=velocity of body= 8m/s

v1= m2v2 /m1= 0.3 m/s

we know,

v²- u² = -2as

0- (0.3) ²= -2 x 0.2 x 5

s= 0.09/0.4 ≈ 0.3 m
