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]2 years ago

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.

Why is electric current scalar quantity with having direction ?​
frez [133]

Explanation:

It represents the direction of flow of positive charge but is treated as a scalar quantity because current follows the laws of scalar addition and not the laws of vector addition. The angle between the wires carrying current does not affect the total current in the circuit.

The half-life of the radioactive element beryllium-13 is 5 × 10-10 seconds, and half-life of the radioactive element beryllium-1
telo118 [61]
<h2>Answer: The half-life of beryllium-15 is 400 times greater than the half-life of beryllium-13.</h2>

Explanation:

The half-life h of a radioactive isotope refers to its decay period, which is the average lifetime of an atom before it disintegrates.

In this case, we are given the half life of two elements:

beryllium-13: h_{B-13}=5(10)^{-10}s=0.0000000005s

beryllium-15: h_{B-15}=2(10)^{-7}s=0.0000002s

As we can see, the half-life of beryllium-15 is greater than the half-life of beryllium-13, but how great?

We can find it out by the following expression:

h_{B-15}=X.h_{B-13}

Where X is the amount we want to find:

X=\frac{h_{B-15}}{h_{B-13}}

X=\frac{2(10)^{-7}s}{5(10)^{-10}s}

Finally:

X=400

Therefore:

The half-life of beryllium-15 is <u>400 times greater than</u> the half-life of beryllium-13.

20 cm long 10 cm wide and 5 cm thick as a mass of 500 g determine the greatest pressure that can be exerted by block on the flat
uysha [10]

100000 Pascal

Explanation:

pressure= force/area

Max pressure= force/min area

so f=5

min area= 5×10^-5

5÷5*10^-5 = 100000pascal

How many total oxygen atoms are in the compound Molybdenum (V) Dichromate?
alekssr [168]

Answer:

1.2646\times10^{25}\ atoms

Explanation:

-The chemical formula for Molybdenum (V) Dichromate is Mo(Cr_2O_7)_3

-There are 21 moles of oxygen per one mole of Molybdenum (V) Dichromate

-We apply Avogadro's constant to find the number of atoms of oxygen:

Avogadro's \ Constant=6.022\times 10^{23} \ mol_1\\\\No\ of \ Atoms=Moles\times Avogadro's \ Constant\\\\=21\times 6.022\times 10^{23} \\\\=1.2646\times10^{25}\ atoms

Hence, there are 1.2646\times10^{25} \ atoms
