Answer:

width of fringes are increased

Explanation:

The width of central maxima is given by the following expression

Width = 2 x Dλ / d

  1. D is distance of screen from source , d is slit width and λ is wavelength of light source.
  2. Here we see , on d getting decreased , width will increase because d is in denominator .

Due to increased width ,  position of a fringe  moves away from the centre.

The chart shows the speed at which light travels through different media.
sammy [17]

Answer:

Air.

Explanation:

To know which option is correct, let us consider the relationship between velocity and the wavelength of a wave. This is illustrated below:

Velocity, wavelength and frequency are related by the following equation:

Velocity = wavelength × frequency

v = λf

From the equation above, we can see clearly that the velocity is directly proportional to the wavelength.

This means that an increase in the wavelength will lead to an increase in the velocity and also, a decrease in the wavelength will lead to a decrease in the velocity.

Now, considering the table given in the question above, we can see that the wave has a higher speed in air. This simply means that the wave will also have a higher wavelength in air.

Thus, the correct answer to the question is: air

When light waves passes straight through an object, it is called?
amm1812
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Transmission

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Light waves are types of waves that are electromagnetic waves, meaning they do not require material medium for transmission. </u></em>Light is transmitted as a transverse wave such that the vibration of particles is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion.
  • <em><u>A material medium enables the transmission of a wave by the vibration of particles, atoms or molecules. </u></em>The vibration of particles in a medium helps in the transmission of a wave such that energy is transferred from one point to another due to the disturbance caused by the wave.

Mangrove forests play an important role in _______.
AysviL [449]
D. All of the above

At high tide fish will feed among the mangrove roots - rich fishing ground

The trees trap sediment and soil in the river that would flow out to sea which also helps stop erosion

Wildlife utilise almost every part of the tree, with insects and birds, monkeys and lizards in the branches, shrimps and fish in the roots, and snails and clams in the soil
