That's what stars do all the time. 
For example, in the sun (and MOST other stars), deep down in the center
of the sun's core, two atoms of Hydrogen get squashed together so hard
that they blend into one atom of Helium AND release some energy. 
That's where the sun's energy all comes from.  It's called "nuclear fusion". 
It needs tremendous temperature and pressure to happen.  We know how
to do it, but we can't control it.  So far, the only thing we've ever been able
to use it for is Hydrogen bombs.   

There are 92 elements on the Periodic Table that are found in nature,
plus another 20 or so that have been made in the laboratory, but only
a few atoms of them.

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. Assuming the angles involved are small, by what factor will the
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

It will be cut in half

Explanation:

The diffraction of a slit is given by the formula

a sin θ = m where

a = width of the slit,

λ = wavelength and

m = integer that determines the order of diffraction.

Next we divide both sides by a, we have

sin θ = m λ / a

Also, recall that

a’ = 2 a

Then we substitute in the previous equation

2asin θ' = m λ, if divide by 2a, we have

sin θ' = (m λ / 2a).

Now again, from the first equation, we said that sin θ = m λ / a, so we substitute

sin θ ’= sin θ / 2

Then we use trigonometry to find the width, we say

tan θ = y / L

Since the angle is small, we then have

tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

tan θ = sin θ, this then means that

sin θ = y / L

we will then substitute

y’ / L = y/L 1/2

y' = y / 2

this means that when the slit width is doubled the pattern width will then be halved

A glass plate (n = 1.64) is covered with a thin, uniform layer of oil (n = 1.28). A light beam of variable wavelength from air i
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is case of interference in thin films

for constructive interference in thin film the condition is

2μ t = (2n+1)λ/2    ;  μ is refractive index of oil , t is thickness of oil , λ is wave length of light .

2 x 1.28 x t = λ/2 , if n = 0

2 x 1.28 x t = 605 /2

t = 118.16 nm .

the minimum non-zero thickness of the oil film required = 118.16 nm.

Unlike the idealized voltmeter, a real voltmeter has a resistance that is not infinitely large. part a a voltmeter with resistan
Margaret [11]
The EMF of the battery includes the force to to drive across its internal resistance. the total resistance:  
R = internal resistance r + resistance connected rv 
R = r + rv  
Now find the current:  
V 1= IR 
I = R / V1  
find the voltage at the battery terminal (which is net of internal resistance) using  
V 2= IR  
So the voltage at the terminal is:  
V = V2 - V1  
This is the potential difference vmeter measured by the voltmeter.
