A grating has 470 lines/mm. how many orders of the visible wavelength 538 nm can it produce in addition to the m = 0 order?
Natali [406]

Three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order can be produced in addition to the m=0 order.

The ruling separation is d=1/(470mm-1)

= 2.1 \times 10 {}^{ - 3}mm

Diffraction lines occurs at an angle θ such that dsin=mλ,when λ is the wavelength and m is an integer.

Notice that for a given order,the line associated with a long wavelength is produced at a greater angle than the line associated with shorter wavelength.

we take λ to be the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum (538nm) and find the greatest integer value of m such that θ is less than 90°.

That is,find the greater integer value of m for which mλ<d.

since,d/λ

= 538 \times 10 {}^{ - 9} m/2.1 \times 10 {}^{ - 6}

There are three complete orders on each side of the m=0 order.

The second and third orders overlap.

What is the voltage across each resistor?
kogti [31]

Answer:

see solution below

Explanation:

The given resistors are connected in series.

Equivalent resistance in series = 30 + 55 + 15

Equivalent resistance in series Rt = 100 ohms

Since the potential difference in the circuit = 36V

Get the current in the circuit first

I = V/Rt

I = 36/100

I = 0.36A

Get the voltage across 30ohms resistor;

V30 = 0.36 * 30

V30  = 10.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 30ohms resistor is 10.8volts

Get the voltage across 55ohms resistor;

V55 = 0.36 * 55

V55  = 19.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 55ohms resistor is 19.8volts

Get the voltage across 15ohms resistor;

V15 = 0.36 * 15

V15  = 5.4volts

Hence the voltage across the 15ohms resistor is 5.4volts

nata0808 [166]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The proportion of carbon-14 in an organism is useful in figuring out the age of that organism after it dies because <span>the proportion of carbon-14 slowly decreases after the death of the organism. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Exposure to the Sun's harmful infrared radiation should be kept to a minimum.
zysi [14]

Of course! If it's harmful, then your exposure to it should be kept
to a minimum.  That's a no-brainer.  But the sun's infrared radiation
is generally less harmful than its ultraviolet radiation is.
