<h2>Answer: about the same size of the gap
</h2>
Diffraction happens when a wave (mechanical or electromagnetic wave, in fact, any wave) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the wave bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming multiple patterns with the shape of the aperture of the slit.
Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that <u>the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength.
</u>
<u></u>
In other words, <u>when the gap (or slit) size is larger than the wavelength</u>, the wave passes through the gap and does not spread out much on the other side, but when the gap size is equal to the wavelength, maximum diffraction occurs and the waves spread out greatly.
Therefore:
<h2>
Waves diffract the most when their wavelength is <u>about the same size of the gap</u>

Answer:
the heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J
Explanation:
Hello!
To solve this problem use the first law of thermodynamics that states that the heat applied to a system is the difference between the initial and final energy considering that the mass and the specific heat do not change so we can infer the following equation
Q=mCp(T2-T1)
Where
Q=heat
m=mass=2.3kg
Cp=0.092 kcal/(kg C)=384.93J/kgK
T2=Final temperatura= 90C
T1= initial temperature=6 C
solving
the heat absorbed by the block of copper is 74368.476J
Answer:
We can solve this by analyzing the choices and the relations between variables.
Notice that Kinetic Energy depends on the speed and the mass. Actually the Kinetic Energy is directly proportional to those variables, which means the more mass or the more speed, the more Kinetic Energy would be.
Having said that, Part I and Part II must have speed and mass as independent variable, because Kinetic Energy depends on them.
Then, in the third question, the answer is Kinetic Energy because that's the dependent variable in both cases Part I and Part II.
Just to remember, the Kinetic Energy is defined as
Where you can notice the relation between mass, speed and kinetic energy.
Therefore, the right answer are Mass (Part I), Speed (Part II) and Kinetic Energy (Part III).

Answer:
The speed of the laser light in the cable,
Explanation:
It is given that,
Wavelength of Argon laser,
Refractive index, n = 1.46
Let is the speed of the laser light in the cable. The speed of light in a medium is given by :
or
So, the speed of the laser light is . Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
It depends on their masses, and the distance between them.
Explanation:
According to Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation, every particle in the universe attracts any other particle with a strength that is directly proportional to the product of its masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically it is expressed as:
Where:
