Inverse square law: \frac{I_{2} }{I_{1}}= (\frac{d{2} }{d_{1}})^2
where 
I_{1} is the intensity at distance 1
I_{2} is the intensity at distance 2
d_{1} is distance 1
d_{2} is distance 2

The inverse squared law state that intensity decreases in inverse proportion to the distance squared. So if light obeyed that rule, it will decreases its intensity as the square of the distance increases.

We can conclude that the correct answer is: true.

Define what is boyleâs law?
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Volume of given mass of gas is inversely proportional to pressure of gas

Explanation:

Boyle's law: It states that the volume of given mass of gas is inversely proportional  to the pressure of gas at constant temperature.

Mathematical representation:

Suppose, a gas of mass m

T=Constant temperature

V=Volume of gas

P=Pressure of gas

Then, V\propto\frac{1}{P}

Two gratings A and B have slit separations dA and dB, respectively. They are used with the same light and the same observation s
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

a) dB / dA = 2 ,

b) Network B     Network A

        2                         1

        4                         2

        6                         3

Explanation:

a) The expression for grating diffraction is

         d sin θ = m λ

where d the distance between two slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer that represents the diffraction range

In this exercise we are told that the two spectra are in the same position, let's write the expression for each network

Network A

m = 1

         sin θ = 1 λ / dA

Network B

m = 2

        sin θ = 2 λ / dB

they ask us for the relationship between the distances, we match the equations

            λ / dA) = 2 λ / dB

            dB / dA = 2

         

b) let's write the equation of the networks

         sin θ = m_A  λ / dA

         sin θ = m_B  λ / dB

we equalize

           m_A  λ/ dA = m_B  λ / dB

we use that

          dB / dA = 2

           m_A 2 = m_B

therefore the overlapping orders are

Network B     Network A

F. If the shuttle's period is synchronized with that of Earth's rotation, what is the height of the shuttle? (1 day = 8.64x104s,
oee [108]

Answer:

1.324 × 10⁷ m

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration, a at that height above the earth equal the acceleration due to gravity, g' at that height, h.

Let R be the radius of the orbit where R = RE + h, RE = radius of earth = 6.4 × 10⁶ m.

We know a = Rω² and g' = GME/R² where ω = angular speed = 2π/T where T = period of rotation = 1 day = 8.64 × 10⁴s (since the shuttle's period is synchronized with that of the Earth's rotation), G = gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², ME = mass of earth = 6 × 10²⁴ kg. Since a = g', we have

Rω² = GME/R²

R(2π/T)² = GME/R²

R³ = GME(T/2π)²

R = ∛(GME)(T/2π)²

RE + h = ∛(GMET²/4π²)

h = ∛(GMET²/4π²) - RE

substituting the values of the variables, we have

h = ∛(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² × 6 × 10²⁴ kg × (8.64 × 10⁴s)²/4π²) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛(2,987,477 × 10²⁰/4π² Nm²s²/kg) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛75.67 × 10²⁰ m³ - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛(7567 × 10¹⁸ m³) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = 19.64 × 10⁶ m - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = 13.24 × 10⁶ m

h = 1.324 × 10⁷ m
