Answer:

  Δy = 6.05 mm

Explanation:

The double slit phenomenon is described by the expression

      d sin θ = m λ                constructive interference

      d sin θ = (m + ½) λ       destructive interference

      m = 0,±1, ±2, ...

As they tell us that they measure the dark stripes, we are in a case of destructive interference, let's use trigonometry to find the sins tea

      tan θ = y / x

      y = x tan θ

In the interference experiments the measured angle is very small so we can approximate the tangent

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ

     cos θ = 1

     tan θ = sin θ

     y = x sin θ

We substitute in the destructive interference equation

     d (y / x) = (m + ½) λ

    y = (m + ½) λ x / d

The first dark strip occurs for m = 0 and the third dark strip for m = 2. Let's find the distance for these and subtract it

 m = 0

      y₀ = (0+ ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

      y₀ = 1.511 10⁻³ m

 m = 2

     y₂ = (2 + ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³

     y₂ = 7.556 10⁻³ m

The separation between these strips is Δy

     Δy = y₂-y₀

     Δy = (7.556 - 1.511) 10⁻³

     Δy = 6.045 10⁻³ m

     Δy = 6.05 mm

Which measure of an earthquake depends on how close you are to the focus?
Vsevolod [243]
<span>The intensity of an earthquake is dependent on one's proximity to the focus of the quake, also called the "epicenter" and is based on observations of the shaking of the ground on humans, structures, and the natural landscape.</span>

How does newton's second law describe the motion of an object?
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

A bubble of air is rising up through the ocean. When it is at a depth of 20.0 m below the surface, where the temperature is 5.00
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

the volume is 0.253 cm³

Explanation:

The pressure underwater is related with the pressure in the surface through Pascal's law:

P(h)= Po + ρgh

where Po= pressure at a depth h under the surface (we assume = 1atm=101325 Pa) , ρ= density of water ,g= gravity , h= depth at h meters)

replacing values

P(h)= Po + ρgh = 101325 Pa + 1025 Kg/m³ * 9.8 m/s² * 20 m = 302225 Pa

Also assuming that the bubble behaves as an ideal gas

PV=nRT

where

P= absolute pressure, V= gas volume ,n= number of moles of gas, R= ideal gas constant , T= absolute temperature

therefore assuming that the mass of the bubble is the same ( it does not absorb other bubbles, divides into smaller ones or allow significant diffusion over its surface) we have

at the surface) PoVo=nRTo

at the depth h) PV=nRT

dividing both equations

(P/Po)(V/Vo)=(T/To)

or

V=Vo*(Po/P)(T/To) = 0.80 cm³ * (101325 Pa/302225 Pa)*(277K/293K) = 0.253 cm³

V = 0.253 cm³
