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".

With a bit of algebraic reasoning find your gravitational acceleration toward any planet of mass M a distance d from its center.
grandymaker [24]

The acceleration due to gravity is given as:

                             g = GM/r²

<h3>Derivation of gravitational acceleration:</h3>

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

where,

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

According to Newton's law of gravity,

F<em>g </em>= GMm/(r + h)²

F<em>g = </em>gravitational force

From Newton's second law of motion,

F<em>g </em>= ma

a = F<em>g</em>/m

We can refer to "a" as "g"

a = g = GMm/(m)(r + h)²

g = GM/(r + h)²

When the object is on or close to the surface, the value of g is constant and height has no considerable impact. Hence, it can be written as,

g = GM/r²

How does mass and material type effect thermal energy transfer
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
The mass contributes with the time of thermal energy transfer with respect to the material type  but most importantly the material type will determine rate at which the material absorbs the transfer of heat or thermal energy by either three types, conduction, convection and radiation.
