Physics
1 answer:
kow [346]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

the process by which a beam of light or other system of waves is spread out as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge, typically accompanied by interference between the wave forms produced. Diffraction refers to various phenomena that occur when a wave encounters an obstacle or opening. It is defined as the bending of waves around the corners of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the obstacle/aperture.

Explanation: FYI I gave you the def and what it refers to BTW

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between frequency and wavelength?
liraira [26]

For a wave:

v = fλ

v is the velocity, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

Assuming the velocity of the wave doesn't change...

If you increase its frequency, its wavelength will shorten.

A ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/
Akimi4 [234]
The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)
