Answer:

a) 2.4 mm

b) 1.2 mm

c) 1.2 mm

Explanation:

To find the widths of the maxima you use the diffraction condition for destructive interference, given by the following formula:

m\lambda=asin\theta

a: width of the slit

λ: wavelength

m: order of the minimum

for little angles you have:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}

y: height of the mth minimum

a) the width of the central maximum is 2*y for m=1:

w=2y_1=2\frac{1(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}=2.4*10^{-3}m=2.4mm

b) the width of first maximum is y2-y1:

w=y_2-y_1=\frac{(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}[2-1]=1.2mm

c) and for the second maximum:

w=y_3-y_2=\frac{(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}[3-2]=1.2mm

Which of the following mixture can be separate using decantation method?​
vivado [14]

Answer:

Hi sorry for answering here but you didnt put the options there

Explanation:

I'll still try to answer though so maybe the mixture from one of the questions might be something like oil and water which don't mix and can be separated by decantation so something similar would work. Hope this helps

If a body p with a positive charge is placed in contact with a body q (initially uncharged), what will be the nature of the char
uysha [10]

If a body p with a positive charge is placed in contact with a body q (initially uncharged), then the nature of charge gained by q must be positive, because rubbing an uncharged body with a charged body or placed in contact with a positive charged body, helps gain a charge to the uncharged body.

There are a variety of methods to charge an object. One method is known as induction. In the induction process, a charged object is brought near but not touched to a neutral conducting object.

Let's know, how a element gain positive charge?

A positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons. A positive charge may be created by adding protons to an atom or object with a neutral charge. A positive charge also can be created by removing electrons from a neutrally charged object.
