Answer:

D) diffraction

Explanation:

Corona is an optical phenomenon produced by the diffraction of sunlight or moonlight, as light moves through water droplets in the atmosphere.

This phenomenon produces one or more diffuse concentric rings of light around the Sun or Moon, usually seen as colored circles.

Therefore, the explanation for these phenomena of colored concentric circles, sometimes seen with the Sun or the Moon involves diffraction.

Generate description of the right hand rule for finding the magnetic field around a current carrying wire an tell how it is used
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Right hand thumb rule : It is a rule used to find the magnetic field direction around current carrying wire .

Explanation:

It states that : "If you grasp conductor in your right hand such that thumb points in upward direction ,then the direction in which our finger curls gives the direction of magnetic field or magnetic lines of forces" .

This rule proves that :Current can give rise to magnetism .

Around every current carrying conductor there exist a magnetic field which can be easily felt .

According to this rule : When a current flows in upward direction ,the finger curls in anticlockwise direction and when direction of current reverses ,then the direction of field also reverses .

The Hubble Space Telescope has an aperture of 2.4 m and focuses visible light (400-700 nm). The Arecibo radio telescope in Puert
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

y_{hubble} = 77\ \ m

y_{aceribo} = 1.1*10^6 \ \ m

Explanation:

what is the smallest crater that each of these telescopes could resolve on our moon?

For moon ;

s = 3.8 × 10 ⁸ m

y = 1.22 λs/D

where;

λ = 400 nm = 400× 10 ⁻⁹

D = 2.4 m

The smallest crater for the hubble space is calculated as follows:

y_{hubble} = 1.22*400*10^{-9}*3.8*10^8/2.4

y_{hubble} = 77\ \ m

For Aceribo ;

y = 1.22 λs/D

where :

λ = 75 cm = 0.75 m

D = 305 m

y_{acerbo} = 1.22*0.75 *3.8*10^8/305

y_{aceribo} = 1.1*10^6 \ \ m
