Answer: Diffraction occurs when waves interact with a gap.

Diffraction occurs in any type of wave—mechanical or electromagnetic.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of light to bend around a small obstruction in its path is known as diffraction. Diffraction occurs for any type of waves- transverse or longitudinal i.e. for mechanical or electromagnetic waves.

When the medium changes- refraction occurs. Waves reflect back from a barrier. Diffraction occurs when the wavelength of the wave is comparable to the size of the gap. The wave bends around the corners of the gap.

I WILL MARK YOU THE BRAINLIEST
mr Goodwill [35]

Explanation:

700N right

to get the net force

you gotta let one direction be the negative ( the smaller force)

so the total force towards the left is 100N ( 60 + 40= 100)

which is smaller than the right force which is 800 N so you let 100 N be negative

so without even calculating , you can know that it will be moving towards the right because right force > left force

your add both forces ( remember 100 N is negative)

so 800N + ( - 100N)

= 700N

towards the right

hope this helps

this is just one method that helped me understand

please mark it brainliest

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.

Recall the topography of the Sierra Nevada Mountains east of California's central valley. Which of the following locations would
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

3. western slope

Explanation:

If we investigate the physical features (such as natural and artificial features) of the Sierra Nevada Mountains located at the California's central valley eastern part, the western slope has the highest value of the precipitation level yearly. This is due to the location of the slope and the relevant conditions such as temperature and humidity.

A convex lens has a focal length of 16.5 cm. Where on the lens axis should an object be placed in order to get a virtual, enlarg
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Object should be placed at a distance, u = 7.8 cm

Given:

focal length of convex lens, F = 16.5 cm

magnification, m = 1.90

Solution:

Magnification of lens, m = -\frac{v}{u}

where

u = object distance

v = image distance

Now,

1.90 = \frac{v}{u}

v = - 1.90u

To calculate the object distance, u by lens maker formula given by:

\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{- 1.90u}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{1.90 - 1}{1.90u}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{ 0.90}{1.90u}

u = 7.8 cm

Object should be placed at a distance of 7.8 cm on the axis of the lens to get virtual and enlarged image.
