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.

Jonathan must lift a 3000n rock using a lever. jonathan uses 300n of force to push down on the lever to move the rock. what is t
-Dominant- [34]
The load is the weight of the rock that Jonathan lifts:
L=3000 N
The effort instead is the force applied in input to the lever in order to lift the rock:
E=300 N

So, the ratio between load and effort for this exercise is
\frac{L}{E}= \frac{3000 N}{300 N}=10
So, the ratio is 10:1.

How often is water added to the Earth system?
rosijanka [135]
<span>Water is never added to earth system. Water forever remains in the water cycle on earth, so it goes from the ground, to the air, to the rain, to the sea, and round and round continuously. This cycle means that there does not need to be new water added to the earth, because it recycles any water that already exists of its own accord.</span>
