Light of wavelength λ1 illuminates a double slit, and interference fringes are observed on a screen behind the slits. When the w

avelength is changed to λ2, the fringes get closer together. Is λ2 larger or smaller than λ1?

Answer:

λ2 < λ1

Explanation:

- Young's experiment of interference of light when passed through a slit has determined a result. We will use an expression derived from the results that relates wavelength and and the spread of the interference pattern using:

                                            sin (Q) = n*lambda / d

Where,

n is the order of fringe about the central order

lambda is the wavelength of light

d is the space between grating

Q is the angle between the two successive interference fringe

- So in our case using a light of wavelength lambda 2 the pattern got closer together or we could say that angle Q got smaller. According to the relationship given we can see as angle Q decreases when lambda decreases. So we can conclude that  λ2 < λ1.

What is the wavelength associated with 0.113kg ball traveling with velocity of 43 m/s?
lesya [120]

Answer:

2.73×10¯³⁴ m.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 0.113 Kg

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Wavelength (λ) =?

Next, we shall determine the energy of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 0.113 Kg

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Energy (E) =?

E = ½m²

E = ½ × 0.113 × 43²

E = 0.0565 × 1849

E = 104.4685 J

Next, we shall determine the frequency. This can be obtained as follow:

Energy (E) = 104.4685 J

Planck's constant (h) = 6.63×10¯³⁴ Js

Frequency (f) =?

E = hf

104.4685 = 6.63×10¯³⁴ × f

Divide both side by 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 104.4685 / 6.63×10¯³⁴

f = 15.76×10³⁴ Hz

Finally, we shall determine the wavelength of the ball. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity (v) = 43 m/s

Frequency (f) = 15.76×10³⁴ Hz

Wavelength (λ) =?

v = λf

43 = λ × 15.76×10³⁴

Divide both side by 15.76×10³⁴

λ = 43 / 15.76×10³⁴

λ = 2.73×10¯³⁴ m

Therefore, the wavelength of the ball is 2.73×10¯³⁴ m.

How long can you keep string cheese in the fridge?
allsm [11]
Cheese attributes its sour taste because of its lactic acid content. However, this should not be an indication to whether the cheese is spoiling already. We can tell its expiry date through the manufacturing details of the product. The product should be good to consume before the manufacturing expiry date. Every package must include expiry date in order to inform the consumer about the range of its consumability attributes. In the case where molds are present on the cheese already, cheese on some parts may not be edible already. Molds are due to the oxidation of glucose through the action of specific bacteria.

The diagram below shows the different phase transitions that occur in matter.
Margaret [11]

Answer:A

Explanation:matter normally occurs in three phases;solid, liquid and gases. They may change from one phase to another due to temperature difference.

The molecules that makes up solids are held together by bonds. When heat is added,the molecules begin to move as a result,the bonds break and it turns to liquid.this process is called melting. The reverse of melting is freezing.

Liquid are made up of molecules that moves more freely than solids. When heat is added to liquid,the molecules gain more energy and begins to move faster. This causes them to turn to gases.

This process is called evaporation. It occurs at different temperature for different substances.

The particles of gases move more faster and are separated by large distances. A gas can change back to a liquid through condensation.

A piston-cylinder device initially contains 1.4 kg saturated liquid water at 200oC. Now heat is transferred to the water until t
postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of saturated liquid water m=1.4\ kg

at 200^{\circ} specific volume is \nu =0.001157\ m^3\kg(From Table A-4,Saturated water Temperature table)

V_1=m\nu _1

V_1=1.4\times 0.001157

V_1=1.6198\times 10^{-3}\ m^3

Final Volume V_2=4V_1

V_2=4\times (1.6198\times 10^{-3})

V_2=6.4792\times 10^{-3}\ m^3

Specific volume at this stage

\nu _2=\frac{V_2}{m}

\nu _2=\frac{6.4792\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}

\nu _2=0.004628\ m^3/kg

Now we see the value and find the temperature it corresponds to specific volume at vapor stage in the table.

T_2=T_1^{*}+\frac{T_2^{*}-T_1^{*}}{\alpha _2^{*}-\alpha _1^{*}}\times (\alpha _2-\alpha _1^{*})

T_2=370^{\circ}+\frac{373.95-370}{0.003106-0.004953}\times (0.004628-0.004953)

T_2=370.7^{\circ} C
