Section of two thermometers are shown. The thermometer on the left is labeled A and the thermometer on the right is labeled B. T

hermometer labeled A has markings forty degrees, forty five degrees, and fifty degrees at equal intervals. The thermometer labeled B has markings forty degrees, forty five degrees, and fifty degrees at equal intervals and there are four small markings equally spaced in between the numbers.Which statement explains which thermometer is more appropriate to measure the temperature of a liquid at 43.6 °C?
a. Thermometer A, because it measures temperature more accurately than B.

b. Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.

c. Thermometer A, because it measures temperature more precisely than B.

d. Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more precisely than A.

Answer : The correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.

Explanation :

Accuracy : It is defined as the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 50 kg and one person weighed 48 kg and another person weighed 55 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

Precision : It is defined as the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 1.8 kg each time. Then the measurement is said to be precise.

Level of precision is determined by the maximum number of decimal places.

As per question, the thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals and there are four small markings equally spaced in between the numbers and thermometer B has markings 40°, 45° and 50° at equal intervals but there is no small markings equally spaced in between the numbers. That means, thermometer B is measures temperature more accurately than thermometer A.

Hence, correct option is, (b) Thermometer B, because it measures temperature more accurately than A.

How many electrons move past a fixed reference point every t = 1.15 ps if the current is i = -2.7 μa ?
zepelin [54]

As per the question,the current amplitude is given as i= -2.7 micro ampere

                                                                                      i.e -2.7 ×10^{-6}

as per the question the time is given as t=1.15s

we know that i=\frac{q}{t}

                         hence q=i×t

hence the total charge passing through this point is given as

                         q= -2.7×10^{-6}× 1.15

                             = -3.105×10^{-6}

we know that q=ne where n is the number of electrons and e is the charge of electron

we have e= -1.602×10^{-19} coulomb

hence number of electrons n=\frac{q}{e}

                         = 3.105×10^{-6}×\frac{1}{1.602*10^{-19} }

                         =1.93820×10^{13}

You measure an angle of 21. 1 when the light passes through a grating with 610 lines per mm. what is the wavelength of the light
weqwewe [10]

The wavelength of the light is 590nm

wavelength of the light=λ

Given,

The equation for a diffraction grating to use here is dsinθ = mλ

d=1/610 lines per mm=1.639*10^{-6}, m=1, θ=21.1^{0}

λ=1.639*10^{-6} * sin21.1^{0}/1 =590nm

<h3>Wavelength </h3>

The wavelength, which in physics refers to the length over which a periodic wave repeats, is its spatial period. It is the distance between two successive corresponding wave points of the same phase, such as two neighbouring crests, troughs, or zero crossings, and it is a feature of both travelling waves and standing waves, as well as other spatial wave patterns. The spatial frequency is defined as the wavelength's inverse. The Greek letter lambda, or "wavelength," is frequently used to represent it. Additionally, sinusoidal wave envelopes, modulated waves, and waves created by the interference of several sinusoids are also commonly referred to as having a wavelength.
