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.

The old rubber boot has two leaks. The top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. What is the velocity of the water coming
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Leak 1 = 3.43 m/s

Leak 2 = 2.42 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. 

Let height H = 0.3m and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

From the figure, the angle of the leak 1 will be approximately equal to 45 degrees. While the leak two can be at 90 degrees.

Using the third equation of motion under gravity, we can calculate the velocity of leak 1 and 2

Find the attached files for the solution and figure
