Is diffraction more pronounced through a small or a large opening?
A smaller opening because it is harder for a wave to travel through smaller openings so after passing through it will diffract more.
How do you label a wavelength?
you label a wavelength with amplitude, wavelength, through, and peak.
Do all light waves that travel through a convex lens always pass through the focal point?
No, not all light waves that travel through a convex lens pass through the focal point. It depends on the wavelength of the light, since light of different wavelengths diffract at different angles when encountering a change in media, such as air to glass, at an angle. Isaac Newton noted this in his study of light and prisms.
What 3 solids will allow light to travel through them?
glass, plastic, crystals (although a crystal wil lallow light to pass through it, it will also diffract the light)
How waves are similar?
Things that different waves have in common:* There is some disturbance, and that disturbance is propagated (as a wave) through some medium. * Waves have a speed, a wavelength, and a frequency. * These are related by the equation: speed = wavelength x frequency. * Waves transfer energy.

Which radio signals past through metal metal vhf lf FM or am or phase modulation?
No radio signals pass through metal. But depending on their wavelength, they may diffract more or less efficiently around the edges and be detectable on the other side.
How a ringing telephone can be heard through a closed door?
You can hear it because of driffraction. The sound waves diffract through the openings.
How do you label a wavelength?
you label a wavelength with amplitude, wavelength, through, and peak.

How did de broglie test his theory?
de Broglie waves for electrons have wavelengths similar to that of x-rays, which diffract when sent through certain crystals according to the Laue phenomenon. These wavelengths where fist confirmed by diffraction by Davisson and Germer.
What is the relationship between diffraction and the wavelength of light?
the wavelength is very small,so light wave cannot bend very much by diffraction unless it passes through a narrow opening.light waves cannot diffract very much around big obstacles such as buildings.but light waves can always dffract a small amount

What is meant by vacuum wavelength?
Vacuum wavelength is the wavelength that is measured if the wave is passing through a vacuum. To get the wavelength in a medium you need to know the refractive index.
Which light wavelength make it through glass faster?
Red light (longer wavelength)
What is the cloacal opening of a turtle?
The cloacal opening is the anus. Aquatic turtles hibernate in the water during the winter months. Their body functions slow and the anus widens to allow water to circulate into the opening. The opening is similar to the gills of a fish. As water circulates through the opening oxygen is absorbed by the many capilaries located in the cloacal opening.
