What is diffraction?

Physics
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]4 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.

The amount of potential energy possessed by an elevated object is equal to
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Potential energy of the object will be equal to mgh

Explanation:

Let the mass of the object is m

Acceleration due to gravity is gm/sec^2

Let the object is released from height h

We have to find the potential energy

Potential energy is of an object released from height h is equal to

U=mgh, here m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is height from which object is released.

Hi, please help me I need help.
sukhopar [10]

Explanation:

Trains that use magnetic levitation (maglev) are suspended above the track, which greatly reduces friction from the rails and allows the trains to travel between 250 and 300 miles per hour! Magnetic levitation uses attractive and repulsive magnetic forces to suspend and control the speeds and motion of the trains.

If you ran 15 km/hr for 2.5 hours, how much distance would you cover?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: 37.5 km

Explanation:

The question is that

If you ran 15 km/hr for 2.5 hours, how much distance would you cover ?

Where

Speed = 15 km/ hr

Time = 2.5 hours

Using the formula for speed.

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time into the formula

15 = distance/ 2.5

Make distance the subject of formula by cross multiplying.

Distance = 15 × 2.5

Distance = 37.5 km.

Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en
Luden [163]
Let's call this "certain amount" with a variable, x, (since it's not specified in the question, I will assume that the answer shall just be based on this variable). 

So every additional floor will make the building sink by x, and let's make the unit cm, so x cm. 

Now we know that the maximum depression is 20 cm, and it is also 

x*y, where y is the number of floors. 

So we have x*y=20, 

therefore the number of floors is:
20/x or                                                                                                                                      This is the answer
