How are the mass and weight of an object related? Include a description with words and an equation.
nikdorinn [45]
The weight is the force experienced, whereas the mass represents the actual quantity of matter inside a body..
weigh on the surface of the earth is equal to mg
mass is m
and at the centre weight is 0 due to 0 acceleration that's 0 g
but mass is always constant and remains m, no matter where you are

You want to photograph a circular diffraction pattern whose central maximum has a diameter of 1.0 cm. You have a helium-neon las
topjm [15]

Answer:

0.776 m far Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen

Explanation:

For circular aperture of diameter D will have a bright central maximum of diameter, width is given by

w=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{D}

where \lambda is wavelength of helium neon laser = 633 nm, D=10.cm, w=0.12 mm

Pinhole should be placed before the viewing screen is

L=\frac{wD}{2.44\lambda}\\L=\frac{0.12\times 10^{-3}\times 0 .01}{2.44\times 633 \times 10^{-9}}\\L=0.776 m
