Answer:

"Both students are correct. When light is traveling through small openings, solids, liquids, gases, or a vacuum, it behaves like a wave. When it interacts with matter, it acts like a stream of particles."

Explanation:

just got it right

Why are we seeing extremely old light from Canopus instead of light in real-time?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Canopus is more than 300 light years away from earth. This means it takes the light we see more than 300 years to reach us.

Two identical space probes are orbiting Jupiter. Scientists determine that one of the space probes has a larger gravitational fo
galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter.  (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)

Suppose you have a coffee mug with a circular cross section and vertical sides (uniform radius). What is its inside radius if it
Vlad [161]

Answer:

r = 4.62 cm

Explanation:

Mass of a coffee, m = 370 g

Height of the mug, h = 5.5 cm

We need to find the inside radius of the mug. Density of an object is equal to the mass per unit volume. It can be given by :

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\d=\dfrac{m}{\pi r^2 h}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{m}{\pi dh}}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{370\ g}{\pi \times 1\ g/cm^3\times 5.5\ cm}}\\\\r=4.62\ cm

So, the inside radius is 4.62 cm.

Light of wavelength 550 nm falls on a
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The first diffraction maximum fringe will be at approximately 2.7 meters from the central maximum.

Explanation:

We can describe single slit diffraction phenomenon with the equation:

a\sin\theta=m\lambda (1)

with θ the angular position of the minimum of order m respect the central maximum, a the slit width and λ the wavelength of the incident light. Because the distances between the first minima and the central maximum (y_{m}) are small compared to the distance between the screen and the slit (x), we can approximate \sin\theta\approx\tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}, using this on (1):

a\frac{y_{m}}{x}=m\lambda

solving for y

y_{m}= \frac{mx\lambda}{a}

Note that y_{m}is the distance between a minimum and the central maximum but we need the position of a maximum not a minimum, here we can use the fact that a maximum is approximately between two minima, so the first diffraction maximum fringe is between the minima of order 1 and 2, so we should find y_{1}, y_{2} add them and divide by two:

y_{1}= \frac{(1)(10.0m)(550\times10^{-9}\,m)}{3.00\times10^{-6}\,m}

y_{1}= 1.8 m

y_{2}= \frac{(2)(10.0m)(550\times10^{-9}\,m)}{3.00\times10^{-6}\,m}

y_{1}= 3.6 m

maximum = \frac{1.8+3.6}{2}=2.7m

What building materials do you believe would work well to build a home in that area? Explain why you chose these materials.
Luden [163]
Depends on what the area is. If it’s a rural place, Wood is cheep & easy to build. If there’s a lot of corrosion, strong weather/hurricane, bricks.
