If the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringes decreases

<h3>What is Interference fringe ?</h3>

Interference fringe refers to bands caused by different lights which can be found in phase or not each other.

  • Distances between laser fringes are short which is due to light wavelength.
  • The interference fringes can be estimated by knowing slit separation and wavelength.

In conclusion, if the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringe decreases

A vertical straight conductor X of length 0.5m is held along the positive X-axis and situated in a uniform horizontal magnetic f
k0ka [10]

Answer:

i. 0.2 N ii. 30°

Explanation:

(i) Calculate the magnitude and direction of force on X, when a current of 4A is passed through it.

The magnetic force F = BILsinФ where B = magnetic field strength = 0.1 T, I = current = 4 A and L= length of conductor = 0.5 m. Since the conductor X of length 0.5m is held along the positive X-axis and situated in a uniform horizontal magnetic field of 0.1T which is pointing towards the positive Y-axis, both B and L are perpendicular to each other. So, Ф = 90°

So, F = BILsinФ

F = 0.1 T × 4 A ×0.5 m × sin90°

F = 0.1 T × 4 A ×0.5 m × 1

F = 0.2 N

(ii) Through what angle must X be turned in a vertical plane so that the force on X is halved

If F' = BILsinФ' where Ф'=the new angle, and BIL = F

F'/F = sinФ'

Since F'/F = 1/2

sinФ' = 1/2

Ф' = sin⁻¹(1/2) = 30°

Air is heated in a glass bottle. The heat energy added to the air is 2.0 × 104 joules. What is the change in internal energy of
Liono4ka [1.6K]
The change in internal energy of the gas is \Delta U = 2.0 \cdot 10^4 J.

In fact, the 1st law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of heat given to the system (Q) plus the work done on the system (W):
\Delta U = Q+W
In this example, no work is done on the bottle so W=0, while the heat given to the system is Q=2.0 \cdot 10^4 J, so the change in internal energy of the gas is
\Delta U = Q = 2.0 \cdot 10^4 J

Describe how charge is transferred from the ruler to the metal rod.
spin [16.1K]
When the ruler is broughı near the inetal knob, it repels electrons in the metal. Electrons move away froni the ruler and down the metal rod. The knob now has a positive charge. The thin pieces of metal foil at the bottom of the metal rod now have a negative charge.

A cylindrical tungsten filament 16.0 cm long with a diameter of 1.00 mm is to be used in a machine for which the temperature wil
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Resistance of the tungsten wire

R = resistivity x length / cross sectional area

= \frac{5.25\times10^{-8}\times16\times10^{-2}}{3.14\times(.5\times10^{-3})^2}

= 107 x 10⁻⁴ ohm

Resistance at 120 degree can be obtained from the following formula

R_t = R_0( 1 + \alpha\times t )

R_t = 107\times10^{-4}( 1 + .0045\times 100)

= 155.15 x 10⁻⁴ ohm

= 160 x 10⁻⁴ ohm ( rounding off to two syg fig )

current = 12.5

potential diff = 12.5 x 155.15 x 10⁻⁴ V

=  0 .1939 V

= .19 V

required electric field = potential diff / length of wire

= .1939 / 16 x 10⁻²

= 1.2 N / C

Greeley [361]
D) It isn't accelerating
This is because if both sides are pushing with the exact same force, than one force is not overpowering the other, therefor the wheelbarrow would not be moving.
