Answer:

B)Diffraction

Explanation:

The concept of diffraction in the field of physics is defined as the deflection of a wave when it crosses an opening or hits the edge of an opaque element. Diffraction is a phenomenon that involves all waves: electromagnetic, radio, sound, etc., and it is possible to predict their behavior using different mathematical approaches. There is a method of analysis called the Huygens principle, which allows us to understand diffraction as a wavefront that is seen as a series of emitters capable of redirecting the wave when it oscillates and thus promotes propagation. Although the waves produced by the oscillators are spherical, their interference causes a flat wave that moves in the same direction as the initial one.

What happen to tbe brightness when one of the bulb removed from patallel circiut​
lawyer [7]
The current decreases as the overall resistance increases. In addition, if one bulb is removed from the “chain” the other bulbs go out. ... If light bulbs are connected in parallel to a voltage source, the brightness of the individual bulbs remains more-or-less constant as more and more bulbs are added to the “ladder”.

On a cold day you can warm your hands by rubbing them together. (a) Assume that the coefficient of friction between your hands i
melomori [17]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the Force of Friction and Energy.

By definition the friction force is defined as

F= \mu * N

Where,

\mu = Frictional Constant

N = Normal Force -> mg

At the same time we have the definition of the Energy, which can be

E = F*v

Where,

Force

v = Velocity.

Then replacing with our values we have that,

F = \mu N

F = 0.5 *34

F = 17

The energy then would be,

E = f v

E = 17 * 0.30 = 5.1 W

Therefore the rate at which heat is generated is 5.1W

A light bulb is rated at 25 W when operated at 120 V. How much charge enters (and leaves) the light bulb in 1. 0 min?
aleksklad [387]

The amount of charge enters (and leaves) is 12 Coulomb.

<h3 /><h3>How can we find the value of the amount of charge enters (and leaves)?</h3>

Here we are using the formula,

I=\frac{P}{V} and Q= I \times t

We are given,

P = Power of the light bulb = 25 Watt.

V = The amount of voltage where the light bulb operated = 120 Volt.

t= The time when charge enters (and leaves) the light bulb = 1.0 min = (1 \times 60) second = 60 S

We have to find,

I= The amount of current flows in the light bulb.

Q= The amount of charge enters (and leaves) the light bulb.

Now we substitute the values of known parameters in the first equation, we find that,

I=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{25}{120}

Or, I= 0.20 A

The amount of current flows in the light bulb is 0.20 Ampere.

Now, we put the value of I in the second equation,

Q= I \times t= 0.20 \times 60

Or, Q=12 C

So, from the above calculations we can see that the amount of charge enters (and leaves) the light bulb is 12 Coulomb.
