What is defraction of light?
diffraction is the bending of a wave around a barrier such as an obstacle or the edges of an opening. Every wave is the source of another wave. Yes, and each different wavelength of light is bent at a different angle, thus separating the visual (color) spectrum which allows you to see a rainbow effect.
What is diffraction of waves?
The apparent of wave through,around small obstacles and the spreading out of wave past small openings. When thinking of diffraction of a wave think of shining a flashlight around a corner. The light bends around the corner but there is a place where it is dark and the light does not hit. Diffraction of a wave is basically the wave bending around an object then dispersing out.
What is refraction and defraction?
Refraction is the direction of light propagation that can be changed at the boundary of two media having different densities. Defraction refers to the "bending" of light.
What is the difference between rarefaction and refraction?
Refraction occurs when a wave crosses a boundary from one medium to another. A wave entering a medium at an angle will change direction.Diffraction refers to the "bending of waves around an edge" of an object. Diffraction depends on the size of the object relative to the wavelength of the wave.bestfahadali@yahoo.com
What term refers to the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance?
Temperature refers to the average kinetic energy of a suubstance. The higher the average kinetic energy, the higher the temperature.
What is the difference between a solvent and concentration?
Solvent refers to a substance that will dissolve another substance. Concentration, in chemistry, refers to the amount (measure) of a substance that is mixed with another substance. It is most commonly used to describe the amount of a substance (solute) dissolved in another substance (solvent).
Is the Earth translucent?
Translucent refers to a substance that is not clear, but can be seen through. The Earth is opaque (not see through).
Solubility refers to the?
Solubility refers to the ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance. The substance that dissolves is called the solute, and the substance that does the dissolving is the solvent. Water is known as the universal solvent because it can dissolve so many different substances. Water is the solvent in living systems.
What term refers to a bending movement of the knees in ballet?

What is made through the process of hydrogen?
Hydrogenation refers to an enzymatic chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (H2) and another substance. Its product is a saturated organic compound.
Which term refers to a basic bending movement of the knees in ballet?

What is semi plastic?
Plastic in its self is a manufactured substance unlike wood or other items. This most likely refers to the amount of oil or another substance added to the plastic.
What does volatises mean?
"Volatilizes" refers to the process of turning a substance into vapor or gas, typically through heating or evaporation.
What is semi synthetic plastic?
Plastic in its self is a manufactured substance unlike wood or other items. This most likely refers to the amount of oil or another substance added to the plastic.
What is fractional sublimation?
Sublimation refers to a substance changing from a solid directly into a gas, and can usually only be achieved via decrease in air pressure as well as temperature. Fractional sublimation refers to separating a substance's parts through the sublimation of one part.
What is thingmotropism?
The word thigmotropism refers to the turning or bending of a plant in response to a touch stimulus.
