Which statement related to particle and wave properties of matter is correct? a. Interference patterns are observed when a wave
passes through a barrier with two slits. b. Particles exhibit diffraction while waves do not. c. A wave travels straight through a slit. d. Particles interfere constructively and destructively whereas waves do not.

Answer:
a. Interference patterns are observed when a wave passes through a barrier with two slits
Explanation:
Interference is a situation where two waves superimpose to form a new wave of a different amplitude. This amplitude can be greater, same or lower.
the diagram attached below shows the movement of a wave through a barrier with two slits.
you can notice the portions of the wave that overlap. This overlapping of waves is the interference.
Thus, option A is correct.
The other options however, are not correct. as shown below:
Option B is wrong as waves exhibit diffraction <em>(it is diffraction of the light wave that produces the rainbows we see in the sky)</em>
Option C is wrong as waves do not travel straight through slits always.
Option D is wrong as waves can also interfere constructively and destructively.

Answer:
43.89 min
Explanation:
Given that:-
The speed of light =
The distance =
The conversion of distance in km to distance into m is shown below as:-
1 km = 1000 m
So,
Distance =
The relation between speed distance and time is shown below as:-
Thus,
Time = 2633.33 seconds
Also, 1 s = 1/60 min
So,
Time=
Answer:
m = 1.5 gram
Explanation:
Given that,
Density of protein gelatin, d = 3 g/L
The volume of protein gelatin, V = 0.5 L
We need to find the mass of the protein gelatin. The density of an object is given by :
d = m/V
Where
m is mass
So, the required mass is 1.5 gram.
