<span>Correct answer: 
<span>Diffusion is the movement of particles from a high to low concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water from a high particle concentration to a low particle concentration.

</span></span><span>This movement of molecules occurs due to a thermal motion. Diffusion normally occurs between two compartments having difference in concentration. In case of fluid it moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of concentration until a balance is reached. The process of diffusion is very important for the humans as well. The oxygen that humans breathe in gets diffused with the blood.</span><span><span>

The right answer is B.

Diffusion is the passive movement of particles from a high concentration to a low concentration in either air or water.

Osmosis is the passive diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable (semi-permeable) membrane. Here are three situations involving the concept of osmosis.

Describe what will happen to the wave as it goes through the hole. what do we call this?​
kari74 [83]

Diffraction occurs when a wave moves through an opening in a barrier. This causes the wave to change direction and spread out.

Waves can behave in three different ways depending on the obstacles they encounter. They can reflect, refract or diffract. In diffraction, waves such as sound, light or water either bend around small objects that obstruct their passage or spread out as they travel through a gap in the barrier.

The degree of diffraction forms a direct relationship with wavelength. It generally increases as wavelength increases. Conversely, the amount of bending lessens as wavelength decreases. However, if the opening of the barrier is smaller than the wavelength, the effect of diffraction is not easily observed. Hope this helps.
