How does diffraction enable somebody to hear your voice from anywhere in the room?

Diffraction means spreading out of waves that has the same wavelength as the size of the gap. Sound waves have high wavelength and so it diffracts\spreads out and enables anyone to hear your voice from anywhere outside the room.

For inside the room, the sound waves doesn't actually diffract. They collide with the air particles, causing a series of compressions and rarefactions which spreads out in the air particles and anyone can hear your voice.

Air is the medium for the sound waves to travel.

Suddenly a worker picks up the bag of gravel. Use energy conservation to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.3

fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

A worker picks up the bag of gravel. We need to find the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest. It is case of conservation of energy. So,

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh\\\\v=\sqrt{2gh}$

h = 2.3 m

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 2.3} \\\\v=6.71\ m/s$

So, the speed of the bucket after it has descended 2.30 m from rest is 6.71 m/s.

Answer

This is done by Nuclear Fusion.

Light nuclei like Hydrogen(Deuterium) combine to produce new Elements like Helium.

²H + ²H === ⁴He + ENERGY

The subscripts of the Hydrogen atoms are 1

While that of Helium is 2. My Keyboard couldn't type those
