Answer:  The correct statements about the diffraction are 1 and 6.

Explanation:    

Diffraction is the spreading of the wave from the gap in the barrier. If the wavelength increases then the diffraction also increases or it decreases with decrease in wavelength.

In the given problem, the waves in a ripple tank are moving toward a barrier gap that is 1/2 the wavelength. A and B are equidistant from the gap.

In the case of the waves in a ripple tank case, the diffraction is observed when the barrier is placed in a ripple tank. The path of water waves are observed when the they encounter the obstacles.  

The waves transmit energy in all direction then the waves will reach A and B at the same time.

Therefore, both A and B will encounter waves. Waves will reach A and B at the same time.

A block is on a frictionless table, on earth. The block accelerates at 7.5 m/s when a 70 N horizontal force is applied to it. Th
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The weight of the block on the moon is 15 kg.

Explanation:

It is given that,

The acceleration of the block, a = 7.5 m/s²

Force applied to the box, F = 70 N

The mass of the block will be, m=\dfrac{F}{a}

m=\dfrac{70\ N}{7.5\ m/s^2}

m = 9.34 kg

The block and table are set up on the moon. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of the moon is 1.62 m/s². The mass of the object remains the same. It weight W is given by :

W=m\times g

W=9.34\ kg\times 1.62\ m/s^2

W = 15.13 N

or

W = 15 N

So, the weight of the block on the moon is 15 kg. Hence, this is the required solution.

Light striking a metal surface causes electrons to be emitted from the metal via the photoelectric effect.In a particular experi
ANEK [815]

The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases if the intensity of the incident light is increased.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

As a result of photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted by the light incident on a metal surface. The emitted electrons count and its kinetic energy can measure as the function of light intensity and frequency. Like physicists, at the 20th century beginning, it should be expected that the light wave's energy (its intensity) will be transformed into the kinetic energy of emitted electrons.

In addition, the electrons count emitting from metal must vary with light wave frequency. This frequency relationship was expected because the electric field oscillates due to the light wave and the metal electrons react to different frequencies. In other words, the number of electrons emitted was expected to be frequency dependent and their kinetic energy should be dependent on the intensity (constant wavelength) of light.

Thus, the maximum in kinetic energy of electrons emitted increases with increase in light's frequency and is experimentally independent of light intensity. So, the number of emitted electrons is proportionate to the intensity of the incident light.
