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.

A contact force exists between two interacting objects that physically contact each other. a non-contact force exists when two i

Murrr4er [49]

True.

A contact force is a force between two objects that are physically in contact with each other: an example of a contact force is the normal reaction of a table supporting a book.

A non-contact force is a force between two objects that are not physically in contact with each other: an example of non-contact force is the gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Moon.

when 82.5 calories of heat are given to a metallic rod of mass 150g its temperature raises from 20 degree celcius to 25 degree C

marishachu [46]

A 150-g metallic rod with a specific heat of 0.11 cal/g.°C absorbs 82.5 calories of heat and its temperature increases from 20 °C to 25 °C.

<h3>What is specific heat?</h3>

It is the heat required to raise the temperature of the unit mass of a given substance by a given amount (usually one degree).

A metallic rod of mass 150 g (m) absorbs 82.5 cal of heat (Q) and its temperature raises from 20 °C to 25 °C. We can calculate the specific heat (c) of the metal using the following expression.

Q = c × m × ΔT

c = Q / m × ΔT

c = 82.5 cal / 150 g × (25 °C - 20 °C) = 0.11 cal/g.°C

A 150-g metallic rod with a specific heat of 0.11 cal/g.°C absorbs 82.5 calories of heat and its temperature increases from 20 °C to 25 °C.

In an electric motor _____energy is transformed into_____energy?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

mechanical energy

Explanation:

In an electric motor the electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy. Almost every mechanical movement that we see around us is accomplished by an electric motor. Electric machines are a means of converting energy. Motors take electrical energy and produce mechanical energy.
