Explanation:

Single slit diffraction

Diffraction is the phenomenon of spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects. Diffraction occurs when the size of the aperture or obstacle is of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the incident wave. For very small aperture sizes, the vast majority of the wave is blocked. in case of  large apertures the wave passes by or through the obstacle without any significant diffraction.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

i'm not sure if you are asking as a  personal question or a book question so i'm taking it personal.

Explanation:

I was doing a simple task that was handed to me to test my responsibility and I agreed (knowing i am responsible :3). my first thought was "man , this is easy!" but then i started seeing the other kids slaking off and quiting their tasks. I thought that was against the rules, but then i saw my bff doing it too and i thought "this should be ok then!" so i did the same. other kids where still doing it. the teacher came, saw the ones still working and smiled... but when the teacher looked at the ones slaking off omg... his face was like * im gonna kill yall* we took one big gulp and whined. the teacher awarded the ones who completed the task... the others , we had to do our original task but doubled... for 3 weeks!!! it was awful!!!

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!

How does reflection differ from refraction and diffraction?
shtirl [24]

Answer: Reflection is the only process in which the wave does not continue moving forward.

Explanation:

Reflection is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when it is exposed to a bounce off barrier. Refraction can be defined as the change in the direction of the wave when the wave passes through one medium to another. Diffraction is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when the wave passes through a particular opening near the barrier.
