Most of the time the towns get flooded and many people die and lose their homes and their jobs, businesses by the floods and the natural environment is destroyed ,air pollution is produced, the ecosystem could be disrupted and dams are known to fall over and dams are really expensive to build, The dams also cause geological damage, example earthquakes and spills happen.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Δd = 7.22 10⁻² m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the dispersion relationship of a diffraction grating

           d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

           tan θ = y / L

     

how the angles are small

           tant θ = sinθ  /cos θ = sin θ

we substitute  

           sin θ = y / L

          d y / L = m λ

          y = m λ L / d

let's use direct ruler rule to find the distance between two slits

           

If there are 500 lines in 1 me, what distance is there between two lines

         d = 2/500

        d = 0.004 me = 4 10⁻⁶ m

diffraction gratings are built so that most of the energy is in the first order of diffraction m = 1

let's calculate for each wavelength

λ = 656 nm = 656 10⁻⁹ m

         d₁ = 1 656 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 4 10⁻⁶

         d₁ = 2.788 10⁻¹ m

λ = 486 nm = 486 10⁻⁹ m

         d₂ = 1 486 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 4 10⁻⁶

         d₂ = 2.066 10⁻¹ m

the distance between the two lines is

         Δd = d1 -d2

         Δd = (2,788 - 2,066) 10⁻¹

         Δd = 7.22 10⁻² m

What is de Broglie's hypothesis ? Make sure to be specific (qualitative and quantitative)
victus00 [196]

Answer and Explanation:

DE BROGLIE 'S HYPOTHESIS :

  • According to De broglie the matter have dual nature it can behave as particle as well as wave
  • According to this hypothesis all matter have wave like property and having wavelength.
  • The de broglie wavelength is given by \lambda =\frac{h}{P} here h is plank's constant and P is momentum
  • This hypothesis determines the probability of finding the object at a give point

<span>Mirage is due to (A). unequal heating of different parts of the atmosphere,
because that produces unequal density of different parts of the atmosphere,
which bends the light.
