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).

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

The pressure is defined as the product of the density of the liquid by the gravitational acceleration by the height, and can be easily calculated by means of the following equation.

 P=Ro*g*h

where:

Ro = density of the fluid [kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation [m]

In this way we can understand that the greater pressure is achieved by means of the height of the liquid, that is, as long as the fluid has more height, greater pressure will be achieved at the bottom.

Therefore in order of decreasing will be  

The largest pressure with the largest height of the liquid, container B. The next is obtained with container D, the next with container A and the lowest pressure with container C.  

The pressure decreases as we go from the container B - D - A - C

Linda is a forensic scientist arriving at the crime scene. What must she do before she can examine the crime scene?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

In the more scientific viewpoint, the most important thing that she must do is caring for her hygiene and put some plastic gloves in her hands.

This is because there are lots of particles that can be retained in the hands (dust, skin, etc), and when examining the scene, she may drop some of these particles, "contaminating" the scene in this way with information that only will affect the investigation.

So the most important thing is being prepared to not affect anything in the crime scene

1.20 Newton force is working on a 250 gram object. What is the acceleration?
Leokris [45]

Answer:

The answer is B

Explanation:

250g = 0.25kg

F = m × a

a = F/m

= 1.2/0.25

= 4.8m/s²
