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

Nata [24]

Answer:

R = 73.25 m

Explanation:

We have,

Initial speed of the ball is 27 m/s

It is projected at an angle of 40 degrees

The maximum range of the ball is given by :

R=\dfrac{u^2\sin2\theta}{g}

Plugging all the values we get :

R=\dfrac{(27)^2\sin2(40)}{9.8}\\R=73.25\ m

So, the maximum range of the ball is 73.25 m

Which is one use for radioactive isotopes? sanitation architecture meteorology archaeology
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

Archaeology

Explanation:

Radioisotopes are radioactive atoms of an element in which their atoms contain excess energy making them unstable. When broken down they become more stable releasing radiations.

Carbon 14 is a radioactive isotope that is used in archaeology to study and estimate the lifespan and age of organic materials such as wood, leather. Carbon 14 can be used to estimate the ages of materials up to 50000 to 60000 years.

The distance between earth and mars is 51 G meters. What is the minimum RTT for a link between Earth and Mars if speed of light
beks73 [17]

Answer:

340 seconds = 5.667 minutes

Explanation:

As we know, S = v t or t = S / v (S = 51 x 10^9 m and v = 3 x 10^8 ms^-1)

So, t = 51 x 10^9 / 3 x 10^8 = 17 x 10^1 = 170 s

For a RTT estimation, the time span will be doubled of one way propagation for transmission and receive delay.

The over all round trip time will be = 170 x 2 = 340 seconds = 5.667 minutes
