Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

This problem could be solved using this equation:

Diffraction limit = 1.22*wavelength/diameter

diameter = 0.8 cm = 0.008 m
wavelength = 500E-9 m

Diffraction limit = 1.22(500E-9)/0.008
Diffraction limit = 0.00007625

A brick is 32cm long and 10cm wide. It weighs 16N and is lying on the ground. Find the pressure exerted by the brick on the grou
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

First, we need to convert the dimension from cm to m before plugging it into the equation:

     32 / 100 = 0.32 m

     10 / 100 = 0.1 m

You can use this equation to find the pressure exerted on the ground

     Pressure = Force / Area

Plugging our values in.....

     Pressure = 16 Newtons / (0.1)(0.32)

                     = 16 Newtons / 0.032

                    = 500 N/m^2

Hope this helps! Best of luck <3

When a wave is refracted, Group of answer choices it enters a new medium or material and the wave bends and changes speed. An ex
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: When waves travel from one medium to another the frequency never changes. As waves travel into the denser medium, they slow down and wavelength decreases. Part of the wave travels faster for longer causing the wave to turn. The wave is slower but the wavelength is shorter meaning frequency remains the same.

inn [45]
<span>The metric system is the oldest name for the international system of units. The answer is <u>a. True. </u>SI unit or the international systems of units are based on seven basic units; the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, Kelvin, candela and mole. All of these basic units are divided into multiples by a power of ten. For example in meters, 1 meter is equal to: 1000 millimeter, 100 centimeter, 10 decimeter, 0.1 decameter, 0.01 hectometer, 0.001 kilometer and so on and so forth.</span>
