Answer:

14,300 lines per cm

Explanation:

Answer:

14,300 cm per line

Explanation:

λ400 nm to 400nm

We can find the maximum number of lines per centimeter, which is reciprocal of the least distance separating two adjacent slits, using the following equation.

mλ = dsin (θ)

In this equation,

m is the order of diffraction.

λ is the wavelength of the incident light.

d is the distance separating the centers of the two slits.

θ is the angle at which the mth order would diffract.

To find the least separation that allows the observation of one complete order of spectrum of the visible region, we use the maximum wavelength of the visible region is 700 nm.

d =  mλ / sin (θ)

As we want the distance d to be the smallest then sin (θ) must be the greatest, and the greatest value of the sin (θ) is 1. For that we also use the longest wavelength because using the smallest wavelength, the longest wavelength would not be diffracted.

d =  mλ / sin (θ)

d =  1 x 700nm / 1

  = 700 nm

So, the least separation that would allow for the possibility of observing complete first order of the visible region spectra is 700 nm, and knowing the least separation we can find the maximum number of lines per cm, which is the reciprocal of the number of lines per cm.

n = 1/d

   = 1 / 700 x 10^{-9}

  = 1, 430,000 lines per m  

  =  14,300 lines per cm

<u>The maximum number of lines per cm, that would allow for the observation of the complete first order visible spectra.</u>

A block with mass ma = 14.0 kg on a smooth horizontal surface is connected by a thin cord that passes over a pulley to a second
Drupady [299]
<span>We can assume that the horizontal surface has no friction and the pulley is massless. We can use Newton's second law to set up an equation. F = Ma F is the net force M is the total mass of the system a is the acceleration a = F / M a = (mb)(g) / (ma + mb) a = (6.0 kg)(9.80 m/s^2) / (6.0 kg + 14.0 kg) a = 58.8 N / 20 kg a = 2.94 m/s^2 The magnitude of the acceleration of the system is 2.94 m/s^2</span>

What will be the force if the particle's charge is tripled and the electric field strength is halved? Give your answer in terms
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

1.5F

Explanation:

Using

E= F/q

Where F= force

E= electric field

q=charge

F= Eq

So if qis tripled and E is halved we have

F= (E/2)3q

F= 1.5Eq=>> 1.5F

FromTheMoon [43]
The theorist you are talking about is none other than Abraham Maslow. He developed the Maslow's hierarchy of needs wherein basic human needs range from the physiological, security, and love and belongingness needs to the esteem and self-actualization of the individual.
