When you see a quantity like 20 m/s N, how do you know that it's a vector quantity and not a scalar quantity?

We know that 20 m/s N is a vector quantity because N in the expression signifies the direction

<h3>What is a vector quantity?</h3>

This is a which have both magnitude and direction. Example include:

  • Velocity
  • Displacement
  • Force
  • Acceleration
  • Moment
  • Weight

<h3>How to determine whether 20 m/s N is a vector quantity</h3>
  • 20 m/s indicates just the speed i.e magnitude
  • 20 m/s N indicates the speed i.e magnitude why the N indicates the direction.

Thus, we can conclude that 20 m/s N is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Assuming that the limits of the visible spectrum are approximately 380 and 700 nm, find the angular range of the first-order vis
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )

Explanation:

given data

wavelength λ = 380 nm = 380 × 10^{-9} m

wavelength λ  = 700 nm =  700 × 10^{-9} m

to find out

angular range of the first-order

solution

we will apply here slit experiment equation that is

d sinθ = m λ    ...........1

here m is 1 for single slit and d is = \frac{1}{900*10^3 m}

so put here value in equation 1 for 380 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

\frac{1}{900*10^3} sinθ = 1 × 380 × 10^{-9}

θ = 0.35 rad

and for 700 nm

we get

d sinθ = m λ

\frac{1}{900*10^3} sinθ = 1 × 700 × 10^{-9}

θ = 0.681 rad

so angular range is ( 0.681 rad , 0.35 rad )

vekshin1

Answer:

Explanation:

Part A) Using

light intensity I= P/A

A= Area= π (Radius)^2= π((0.67*10^-6m)/(2))^2= 1.12*10^-13 m^2

Radius= Diameter/2

P= power= 10*10^-3=0.01 W

light intensity I= 0.01/(1.12*10^-13)= 9*10^10 W/m^2

Part B)  Using

I=c*ε*E^2/2

rearrange to solve for E= \sqrt{((I*2)/(c*ε))

c is the speed of light which is 3*10^8 m/s^2

ε=permittivity of free space or dielectric constant= 8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1

I= the already solved light intensity= 8.85*10^10 W/m^2

amplitude of the electric field E= \sqrt{(9*10^10 W/m^2)*(2) / (3*10^8 m/s^2)*(8.85* 10^-12 F⋅m−1)

---> E= \sqrt{(1.8*10^11) / (2.66*10^-3) = \sqrt{(6.8*10^13) = 8.25*10^6 V/m
