The light will be diffracted. 
diffraction - bending of a wave in a homogeneous medium around obstacles or through a narrow opening.

hope this helps :)

Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).

What is the kinetic energy of a 1.40 kg discus with a speed of 22.5 m/s?
Oksana_A [137]
Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                         = (1/2) (1.4 kg) (22.5 m/s)²

                         =    (0.7 kg)  (506.25 m²/s² )

                         =          354.375  kg-m²/s²  =  354.375 joules .

This is just the kinetic energy associated with a 1.4-kg glob of
mass sailing through space at 22.5 m/s.  In the case of a frisbee,
it's also spinning, and there's some additional kinetic energy stored
in the spin.

Why is pure oxygen stored as a liquid under pressure
yKpoI14uk [10]
<h2>Answer: It is highly flammable.</h2>

Explanation:

Liquid oxygen is created from oxygen atoms that have been forced to assume the liquid state due to <u>compression (change of pressure) and temperature modification. </u>

Specifically this is achieved by cooling the oxygen enough to change it to its liquid state. So,<u> as the temperature drops, the atoms move more slowly because they have less energy. </u>

In this sense, in the liquid state it is easier to store and mobilize oxygen, taking into account that it is a highly flammable gas.

In three to four sentences, explain how climate change could impact the formation of hurricanes. (4 points)
daser333 [38]

The climate change can directly impact the formation of hurricanes because increasing temperature increases intensity of hurricanes.

<h3>How climate change could impact the formation of hurricanes?</h3>

Evaporation increases as temperatures rise which also causes the transfer of heat from the oceans to the atmosphere. As the storms travel across oceans whose water is warm, they absorb more water vapor and heat which increases rainfall as well as intensity of hurricanes.

So we can conclude that the climate change impacted the formation of hurricanes due to increasing temperature that increases intensity of hurricanes.

Doing aerobic exercise is most important because it
frutty [35]
Because it increases cardiorespiratory fitness and means that one has a strong heart and circulatory system. This results in being able to avoid heart disease and other dangerous diseases or disorders. Additionally, exercise can help our mental health along with maintaining weight and staying physically healthy.
