What is a cosmic ray?

Physics
1 answer:
bonufazy [111]3 years ago

Possibly something that interacts with the earth's magnetic field and produces the spectacular "Northern Lights", or "Aurora Borealis" if you prefer latin. Charged particles moving at relativistically high speeds, some of which may be from the sun via solar flares. I think that mu mesons are cosmic rays. First discovered by a scientist in a hot air balloon (he 'd gone up with instruments to detect them), and later used to verify the time dilation result of special relativity by MIT and the "mount washington experiment".

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

d=\frac{1.22\times 640\times 10^{-9}\times 21.7}{7.35\times 10^{-2}}=2305.21\times 10^{-7}m

Explanation:

The expression which represent the first diffraction minima by a circular aperture is given by d sin\Theta =1.22\lambda--------eqn 1

The angle through which the first minima is diffracted is given by tan\Theta =\frac{y_1}{D}---------eqn 2

As \Theta is very small so we can write sin\Theta =tan\Theta

So from eqn 1 and eqn 2 we can write

y_1=\frac{1.22\lambda D}{d}--------eqn 3

Here y_1 is the position of first maxima D is the distance of screen from the circular aperture d is the diameter of aperture

It is given that diameter of circular aperture is 14.7 cm so y_1=\frac{14.7}{2}=7.35 \ cm

Now putting all these value in eqn 3

d=\frac{1.22\lambda D}{y_1}

d=\frac{1.22\times 640\times 10^{-9}\times 21.7}{7.35\times 10^{-2}}=2305.21\times 10^{-7}m

Which of the following instruments is not typically an electronic instrument, but could be enhanced with the help of microphones
TiliK225 [7]
The synthesizer, the Theremin, and the electronic organ are totally electronic
instruments.  They don't make any sound at all without electronic circuits and
electric power.

The acoustic guitar is not inherently an electronic instrument.  It can be made
louder with microphones, and given special effects with other electronic stuff.
Whether any of this is actually an 'enhancement' is open to debate.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Thomson's model showed an atom that had a positively charged medium, or space, with negatively charged electrons inside the medium. After its proposal, the model was called a "plum pudding" model because the positive medium was like a pudding, with electrons, or plums, inside.
