Astronauts float<span> around in </span>space<span> because there is no gravity in </span>space. Everyone knows that the farther you get from Earth, the less the gravitational force is. Well,astronauts<span> are so far from the Earth that gravity is so small. This is why NASA calls it microgravity</span>

Listed following are three possible models for the long-term expansion (and possible contraction) of the universe in the absence
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1. Recollapsing universe

2. Critical universe

3. Coasting universe

Explanation:

Recollapsing universe has dark matter density greater than critical density. While critical universe has its matter density equal to the critical sensity. Coasting universe on the other hand has much smaller matter density compared to critical density.

Note that the critical density is approximately 10^-20 grams/cm3

Consider the interference pattern produced by two parallel slits of width a and separation d, in which d = 3a. The slits are ill
laila [671]

Answer:

a)   m =1  θ = sin⁻¹  λ  / d,  m = 2        θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 2d) ,   c)     m = 3

Explanation:

a) In the interference phenomenon the maxima are given by the expression

         d sin θ = m λ

the maximum for m = 1 is at the angle

          θ = sin⁻¹  λ  / d

the second maximum m = 2

          θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 2d)

the third maximum m = 3

        θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 3d)

the fourth maximum m = 4

       θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 4d)

b) If we take into account the effect of diffraction, the intensity of the maximums is modulated by the envelope of the diffraction of each slit.

       I = I₀ cos² (Ф) (sin x / x)²

       Ф = π d sin θ /λ

       x = pi a sin θ /λ

where a is the width of the slits

with the values ​​of part a are introduced in the expression and we can calculate intensity of each maximum

c) The interference phenomenon gives us maximums of equal intensity and is modulated by the diffraction phenomenon that presents a minimum, when the interference reaches this minimum and is no longer present

maximum interference       d sin θ = m λ

first diffraction minimum    a sin θ = λ

we divide the two expressions

                       d / a = m

In our case

                   3a / a = m

                    m = 3

order three is no longer visible
