B. The meaning of 'atomos' according to Democritus in 450 BCE is indivisible.

<h3>The building block of every matter</h3>

A Greek philosopher  known as Democritus first thought of the existence of tiny particles that compose everything around us.

Democritus of Abdera, named the building blocks of matter atomos, meaning literally “indivisible.

Thus, the meaning of 'atomos' according to Democritus in 450 BCE is indivisible.

In a double-slit experiment, if the central diffraction peak contains 13 interference fringes, how many fringes are contained wi
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Width of central diffraction peak is given by the following expression

Width of central diffraction peak= 2 λ D/ d₁

where d₁ is width of slit and D is screen distance and λ is wave length.

Width of other fringes become half , that is each of  secondary diffraction fringe is equal to

λ D/ d₁

Width of central interference  peak is given by the following expression

Width of  each of  bright fringe =  λ D/ d₂

where d₂ is width of slit and D is screen distance and λ is wave length.

Now given that the central diffraction peak contains 13 interference fringes

so ( 2 λ D/ d₁)  /  λ  D/ d₂ = 13

then (  λ D/ d₁)  /  λ  D/ d₂ = 13 / 2

= 6.5

no of fringes  contained within each secondary diffraction peak = 6.5

Aunt Matilda goes to a well and throws a penny straight down the well at 3.0 m/s. She hears a splash after 0.5 seconds. How deep
nevsk [136]

Answer : The correct option is (d) 2.73 m

Explanation :

By the 2nd equation of motion,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,

s = distance or height = ?

u = initial velocity  = 3.0 m/s

t = time = 0.5 s

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

s=(3.0m/s)\times (0.5s)+\frac{1}{2}\times (9.8m/s^2)\times (0.5s)^2

s=2.73m

Therefore, the correct option is (d) 2.73 m

The energy band gap of GaAs is 1.4eV. calculate the optimum wavelength of light for photovoltaic generation in a GaAs solar cell
Viktor [21]

Answer:

λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm

Explanation:

The energy band gap is given as:

Energy Gap = E = 1.4 eV

Converting this to Joules (J)

E = (1.4 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

E = 2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy required for photovoltaic generation is given as:

E = hc/λ

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm</u>
