Light shines through a single slit whose width is 5.6 × 10-4 m. A diffraction pattern is formed on a flat screen located 4.0 m a
Mrac [35]

Answer:

462 nm

Explanation:

Given: width of the slit, d = 5.6 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of the screen, D = 4.0 m

Fringe width, β = 3.3 mm = 3.3 × 10⁻³ m

First dark fringe means n =1

Wavelength of the light, λ = ?

\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}\\ \Rightarrow \lambda = \frac{d \beta}{D} =\frac{5.6\times 10^{-4} \times 3.3 \times 10^{-3}}{4.0} = 4.62 \times 10^{-7}m = 462 nm

The third one.

The nucleus of an atom is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons have the same relative mass (rounded to 1). Electrons have an extremely small mass.

Therefore, the particles in the nucleus are more massive than those in the electron cloud.

If you are over-driving your headlights and you see an object ahead, you will_____. be given the right-of-way from other vehicle
SashulF [63]

Answer: not be able to stop in time to miss the object

Explanation:

The phrase "Over-driving your headlights" means that a person is driving at such a speed that the vehicle's stopping distance is greater than the maximum viewable distance with the headlights on.

When this occurs, it will be impossible for the vehicle to stop moving in time to avoid an object viewed by the driver in the range of his headlights.

This is a <u>dangerous driving practice</u> and can be avoided by driving at <u>reduced speeds</u>.

Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different direc
larisa [96]
For the answer to the question above,
Ricardo goes a distance (magnitude) of 27, in a direction of 60 degrees W of N 
<span>Jane goes a magnitude of 16 in a direction 30 degrees S of W </span>

<span>How I would solve this is to imagine that the started at (0,0) </span>
<span>And their walking represents vectors. </span>

<span>Ricardo: </span>
<span>X-coordinate = -27sin60 = 27sqrt(3)/2 = 23.383 </span>
<span>Y-coordinate = 27cos60 = 27/2 = 13.5 </span>
<span>So, after he walks, he is at point (-23.383, 13.5) </span>

<span>Jane: </span>
<span>X-coordinate = -16cos(30) = 16sqrt(3)/2 = 13.856 </span>
<span>Y-coordinate = -16sin(30) = 16/2 = 8 </span>
<span>So, after she walks, she is at point (-13.856, -8) </span>

<span>So, you have 2 points. </span>
<span>Use the distance formula to find their distance apart </span>
<span>Sqrt((-23.383+13.856)^2+(13.5+8)^2) = 23.516m </span>

<span>To find the direction, simply find the slope of the two points, and take the arc-tangent. </span>
<span>The slope = -9.527/21.5 = -0.443 </span>
<span>Take the tan^-1 of this, which is -23.899 degrees. </span>
<span>This basically translates to, Ricardo must walk 23.899 degrees E of S </span>

<span>They will be 23.518 m apart </span>
<span>Ricardo must walk 23.899 degrees East of South to get to Jane</span>
