By looking at the diagram you posted above and reading the given information. Diagram number 2 shows the configuration of wave fronts and barrier opening. This graph number 2 shows the greatest diffraction of the waves through the opening. <span />

Explanation :

It is given that, parallel wave fronts are incident on an opening in a barrier. Diffraction of the waves depends on the size of opening and the wavelength of light used as per the following relation :

y\propto\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

where,

\lambda is the wavelength of light

and a is the opening size (from fig)

So, it is clear that diffraction of waves depends directly on the wavelength of light and inversely on the size of opening.

Hence, the correct option is (2).

According to the article "Nuclear shapes" by Renee Lucas the nucleus's shape is mainly modified by vibrational and rotational features happening within the cell. According to the article if i read correctly "near closed shells spherical shapes prevail, while between closed shells the large number of valence nucleons in orbit with large particle angular momentum leads to nuclei with large deformations leading them to not only maintain its shape but also alloying it to work.

A ball of mass m on a string of length L is attached to a pivot. The ball is released from rest while the string is parallel to
mash [69]

Answer:

L/2

Explanation:

Neglect any air or other resistant, for the ball can wrap its string around the bar, it must rotate a full circle around the bar. This means the ball should be able to swing to the top position where it's directly above the bar. By the law of energy conservation, this happens when the ball is at the same level as where it's previously released vertically. It means the swinging radius around the bar must be at least half of the string length.

So the distance d between the bar and the pivot should be at least L/2
