What is diffraction?

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D) the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

Explanation:

Even though light travels in straight line, it will bend around objects if their size is comparative to its wavelength. This phenomenon is called diffraction.

Light will also bend if the light travels from one medium to another medium at an angle, but that is called refraction.

Diffraction occurs in one medium. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium to another.

A pendulum takes 4 seconds to make one complete swing. A man walks 100m in a straight line while the pendulum makes 20 complete
irina [24]

The average velocity of the man is determined as 1.25 m/s.

<h3>Average velocity of the man</h3>

Total distance traveled by the man = 100 m

If 1 complete cycle = 4 s

  20 complete cycle = ?

= 20 x 4 s

= 80 s

Average velocity = total distance/total time

Average velocity = 100 m/80 s

Average velocity = 1.25 m/s

Thus, the average velocity of the man is determined as 1.25 m/s.
