When light passes from rarer medium to denser medium, its speed decreases. Hence, light is refracted when it passes from air to water.

Monochromatic x rays are incident on a crystal for which the spacing of the atomic planes is 0.440 nm . The first-order maximum
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Wavelength of the x rays is \lambda=2.79\times 10^{-10}\ m

Explanation:

It is given that,

The inter planer spacing between the crystal planes, d=0.44\ nm=0.44\times 10^{-9}\ m

The first-order maximum in the Bragg reflection occurs when the incident and reflected x rays make an angle of 39.4 degrees with the crystal planes. According to the Bragg's condition, the first-order maximum is given by :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

n = 1

d\ sin\theta=\lambda

0.44\times 10^{-9}\times \ sin(39.4)=\lambda

\lambda=2.79\times 10^{-10}\ m

So, the wavelength of the x rays is 2.79\times 10^{-10}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.

Astronauts who traveled to the moon were able to float slightly as they walked along its surface. Why were the astronauts able t
timurjin [86]

Answer: The weight of the astronaut on earth is greater than his weight on the moon.

Explanation:

The reason I got this answer is because the astronaut will have the same mass on the moon as he does on earth. Also the weight of a person or object is determined by gravity. So since the moons gravity isn’t as strong as earths gravity the astronauts are lighter in terms of weight, and this is how they slightly float.
