This is an example of the phi phenomenon. This is an optical illusion that occurs when a series of still images, in this case the flashing lights, are viewed in quick succession. This given the illusion of a continuous movement rather than discrete still images.

the chef was careless and put the aluminum cookie sheet directly on the hot stove, which melted 0.05 kg of the aluminum. how muc
sergejj [24]

Heat required to melt 0.05 kg of aluminum is 28.7 kJ.

<h3>What is the energy required to melt 0.05 kg of aluminum?</h3>

The heat energy required to melt 0.05 kg of aluminum is obtained from the heat capacity of aluminum and the melting point of aluminum.

The formula to be used is given below:

  • Heat required = mass * heat capacity * temperature change

Assuming the aluminum sheet was at room temperature initially.;

Room temperature = 25 °C

Melting point of aluminum = 660.3 °C

Temperature difference = (660.3 - 25) = 635.3 903

Heat capacity of aluminum = 903 J/kg/903

Heat required = 0.05 * 903 * 635.3

Heat required = 28.7 kJ

In conclusion, the heat required is obtained from the heat change aluminum and the mass of the aluminum melted.

Using monochromatic light of 410 nm wavelength, a single thin slit forms a diffraction pattern, with the first minimum at an ang
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

c. 307 nm

Explanation:

angular position of first dark fringe =  λ / d ,   λ is wavelength and  d is width of slit .

(40 x π ) / 180 = 410 / d

angular position of second  dark fringe =  2 x λ / d ,   λ is wavelength and  d is width of slit .

(60 x π ) / 180 = 2 x λ / d

Dividing these equations

60 / 40 =  2 x λ / 410

λ = 307.5 nm.
