Answer: The light wave is bending around an obstacle or through a barrier shows diffraction.

Explanation :

Light is one of the forms of energy. It enables us to see objects clearly. It shows many phenomena like the reflection of light, refraction, interference, diffraction etc.

The light rays bend when it passes through a narrow opening or obstacles. The essential condition for the diffraction is that the size of an obstacle should be comparable to the wavelength of light.    

Hence, the correct option is (a) " The light wave is bending around an obstacle or through a barrier".

Derek and Wes take a photograph of a lake at the same angle and the same time of day. Derek's picture comes out with crisp edges
iren [92.7K]

Answer: Polarization

Explanation:

Probably what happens here is that Derek took his photograph with a polarizing filter (which is helpful to avoid that glare from the surface of water, for example), and Wes took his without that filter.

It is important to note, this kind of filter works with an optical phenomenon called polarization, which consists in the alignment of light (electromagnetic waves) in only one vibrational orientation.

To understand it better:

Normally, electromagnetic waves are not polarized, and the vibration occurs in all planes. However, if we make these waves to vibrate in a single plane, we have polarized light.

<u>This is only possible because electromagnetic waves are transversal waves</u>, hence the oscillation occurs in the transversal direction to the propagation.

Note this is not possible for longitudinal waves (sound), because the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation.

Mass and energy are alternate aspects of a single entity called mass-energy. The relationship between these two physical quantit
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

Explanation:

ΔE = Δm × c^2

where,

ΔE = change in energy released with respect to change in mass

= 1.554 × 10^3 kJ

= 1.554 × 10^6 J

Δm = change in mass

c = the speed of light.

= 3 × 10^8 m/s

Equation of the reaction:

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

Mass change in this process, Δm = 1.554 × 10^6/(3 × 10^8)^2

= 1.727 × 10^-11 kg

The change in mass calculated from Einstein equation is small that its effect on formation of product will be negligible. Hence, law of conservation of mass holds correct for chemical reactions.

A model is considered to scale if its relative proportions are equal to that of the object its modeling. If a building is twice
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

B. The kinds of terrains on different paths of the earth.

Explanation:

Looking at relief globe, we can clearly see the heights and types different areas of the world. We can not accurately determine the height of any area because we do not know the scale factor. We certainly cannot determine the highest or lowest point on the earth because it is impossible to calculate just from looking at the globs. We cannot find the height of a mountain above sea level or any other height measurement. It is also no where related to time of sun rising and setting in a particular area.

Describe a scenario when you could use energy but not do any work.
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

When you don't move, you still use energy. This energy is called potential energy, or, stored energy.

When you don't move or do work, you can use energy.
