A physics instructor wants to project a spectrum of visible-light colors from 400 nm to 700 nm as part of a classroom demonstrat

ion. She shines a beam of white light through a diffraction grating that has 700 lines per mm, projecting a pattern on a screen 2.9 m behind the grating. How wide is the spectrum corresponding to m=1?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Slit\ width=d=\frac{10^{-3}}{700}=1.428\times 10^{-6} m

Distance of screen from light source D=2.9 m

\lambda _1=400 nm

\lambda _2=700 nm

we know in slit Experiment

d\sin \theta=n\lambda, where \theta=angle between the path and a line from the slits to the screen

1.428\times 10^{-6}\cdot \sin \theta =1\times 400\times 10^{-9}

\sin \theta =0.28011

\theta =16.26^{\circ}

and \tan \theta =\frac{y}{D}

where y is the position of First maxima corresponding \lambda _1

y_1=D\tan \theta

y_1=0.845 m

calculations for  \lambda _2

d\sin \theta=n\lambda _2

1.428\times 10^{-6}\cdot \sin \theta =1\times 700\times 10^{-9}

\sin \theta '=0.4901

\theta '=29.34^{\circ}

\tan \theta '=\frac{y'}{D}

for n=1

y_1'=D\tan \theta '

y_1'=2.9\times 0.5622=1.63 m

Spectrum Width =y_1'-y_1

=0.785 m

The illuminance due to a 60.0-w lightbulb at 3.0m is 9.35 lx. What is the total luminous flux of the bulb
Furkat [3]
The equation for luminous flux is given as P = 4\pir^{2}E
where P is the luminous flux, r is the distance and E is the illumination. The unit for P is lumen, E is lux and r is in meters. Substituting the given to the equation:

P = 4\pir^{2}E 

P= 4\pi(3)^{2}(9.35) = 1057.46 lumens (lm)

The total luminous flux is equal to 1057.46 lumens (lm).

Define 1 unit electricity​
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

A unit is represented in kWH or Kilowatt Hour. This is the actual electricity or energy used. If you use 1000 Watts or 1 Kilowatt of power for 1 hour then you consume 1 unit or 1 Kilowatt-Hour (kWh) of electricity.

Pitch is the sensation of certain frequencies to the ear. High frequency = high pitch, low frequency = low pitch. 

f = c(speed of the wave) /  <span>λ (wavelength)

1. 343m/s / 0.77955m = 439.99 Hz   
     This corresponds to pitch A 

2. 343m/s / 0.52028m = 659.26 Hz
</span>     This corresponds to pitch E 
<span>
3. 343m/s / 0.65552m = 523.349 Hz
    </span>This corresponds to pitch C

4. using f = c /  λ
  λ = c / f<span>
     = 343m/s / 587.33 = 0.583999 m = 0.584 m

An outside thermometer reads 57°F. What is this temperature in °C? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
marishachu [46]

Answer: It'd be 14.

Explanation:

The formula for this equation would be (57f-32)×5/9 which is equal to 13.889; and rounding that to the whole number would be 14.
