What is diffraction? a)the increasing speed of a wave as it enters a new medium b) the bending of a wave as it enters a medium at an angle c) the increasing speed of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or through an opening d) the bending of a wave as it moves around an obstacle or passes through a narrow opening

Why does gravity have a lesser than grater effect on higher altitudes?

Lake happy times contains 100 km3 of pure water. it is fed by a river at a rate of 50 km3/yr. at time zero, there is a factory on one shore of lake happy times that begins introducing a pollutant to the lake at a rate of 2km3/yr. there is another river that is fed by lake happy times at a rate that keeps the volume of lake happy times constant. this means that the rate of flow from lake happy times into the outlet river is 52km3/yr. in turn, the flow from this outlet river goes into another lake, lake sad times, at an equal rate. finally, there is an outlet river from lake sad times flowing at a rate that keeps the volume of lake sad times at a constant 100 km3 . (a) find the amount of pollutant in lake sad times at the end of 3 months. (b) at the end of 3 months, observers close the factory due to environmental concerns and no further pollu- tant enters lake happy times. how long will it take for the pollutant in lake sad times (found in part (a)) to be cut in half?

Abox that has self-contained cable clamps holds two light switches. a two-wire no. 12 cable with ground feeds the box, and a pair of two-wire no. 12 cables (four conductors) with ground wires leaves the box to feed the light fixtures. the second switch is fed by a no. 12 jumper wire from the first switch. which one of the following box combinations would furnish the minimum allowable volume? a. two 3-inch × 2-inch × 21⁄2-inch gangable device boxes b. two 3-inch × 2-inch × 11⁄2-inch gangable device boxes c. two 3-inch × 2-inch × 23⁄4-inch gangable device boxes d. two 3-inch × 2-inch × 21⁄4-inch gangable device boxes
