The apparent bending of a wave around the edge of an object is called . If a wave passes through a slit that has a width of the same order of magnitude as its , it will bend around both edges of the slit to give a semicircular wave.

Unpolarized light of intensity i_0=750w/m^2 is incident upon two polarizers. after passing through both polarizers the intensity is i_2=280w/m^2. (a) what is the intensity of the light after it passes through the first polarizer in w/m^2? (b) write an equation for the angle between the polarizers in terms of the initial (i_0) and final (i_2) intensities. (c) find the angle between the polarizers in degrees.

The freezing and boiling point of a substance changes as the air pressure around it changes. for example, at a lower air pressure (higher altitude) it is easier for water molecules to escape from liquid into the air. in a high altitude city such as denver, colorado compared to a sea-level city such as houston, texas, water

If jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, is being done.
