The bending of light from the core (edge) of a barrier is called diffraction. This phenomenon occurs when a wave encounters an obstacle or a slit that is comparable in size to its wavelength, causing the wave to bend around ...
With an increase in the temperature of the medium, the speed of light generally decreases. This is because higher temperatures increase the density of the medium’s molecules, which leads to more frequent interactions and absorptions of photons, temporarily slowing down ...
The maximum duration of a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely covers the Sun’s disk, can last up to several minutes. The exact duration depends on the geometry of the Sun, Moon, and Earth during the eclipse event.
