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

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force of attraction to Jupiter exerts on IO
kotegsom [21]

The gravity force between Jupiter and Io will be 6.343 × 10²² N.

<h3>What is Newton's law of gravitation?</h3>

Newton's law of gravity states that each particle having mass in the universe attracts each other particle with a force known as the gravitational force.

Given data;

Mass of Jupiter,\rm m_j = 1.9 \times 10^{27} \ kg

Mass of moon of Jupiter,\rm m_{i_0}= 8.9 \times 10^{22} \ kg]

The gravitational constant is,\rm G =  6.67 \times 10^{-11 } \ m^3  kg^{-1}  s^{-2}

Distance between Jupiter and Io, R = 421,700 km = 4,217,00,000 m

The gravitational force is proportional to the product of the masses of the two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of their distance.

The gravitational force is found as;

\rm F = G \frac{ m_J m_{I_0}}{R^2} \\\\\ F = (6.67\times 10^{-11}) \frac{( (1.9\times 10^{27})\times (8.9\times 10^{22} )} { (421700000)^2}\\\\ F_g = 6.343 \times 10^{22} \  N

Hence, the gravity force between Jupiter and Io will be 6.343 × 10²² N.

The complete question is

"Jupiter has a mass of 1.9 × 1027 kg, and its moon Io has a mass of 8.9 × 1022 kg. Their centers are separated by a distance of 421,700 km what is the force of gravity acting on Io? "

A loudspeaker in a parked car is producing sound whose frequency is 20 510 Hz. A healthy young person with normal hearing is sta
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The car must be moving away from the person.

Explanation:

From Doppler's Effect, we know that when a sound source moves towards a stationary observer, the apparent frequency of that sound increases. While the apparent frequency decreases if the source moves away from the stationary observer.

The audible range of frequencies for a human ear is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz. Therefore, in order for the sound of a loud speaker to be audible for the person, the frequency must decrease below 20000 Hz.

<u>Due to this reason, the car must be moving away from the person.</u>

An engineer can increase the magnitude of the magnification of a compound microscope by
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Magnification of Microscope is  

M = M_o \times M_e

Mo= Magnification of objective lens and

Me= magnification of the eyepiece.  

Both magnifications( of objective and eyepiece) are inversely proportional to the focal length.  

Magnification,  

M\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{f}

when the focal length is less magnification will be high and when the magnification is the low focal length of the microscope will be more.

Thus. Magnification will increase by decreasing the focal length.

The correct answer is Option B i.e. using shorter focal length

One particular descent goes from 2100m to 1600m. Assuming work done against friction is 90% of the potential energy change of th
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

1/2 M V^2 = .1 M g H       where 10% of PE goes into KE

V^2 = .2 g H = .2 * 9.8 * (2100 - 1600) = 980 m^2 / s^2

V = 31.1 m/s       increase in speed during descent

1 km / hr = 1000 m / 3600 sec = .278 m/s

V = 31.1 m/s / (.278 m/s / km /hr)= 112 km/hr

What happens to the negative charges
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) spreads out over a large area on the object. </em>

Explanation:

In physics, a ground can be described as a reservoir object in which charge can be stored. Grounding refers to the removal of charge in an object by using the ground object. When an object with excess if charge is placed on the ground object, the electrons are transferred from the charges object to the ground object. This charge begins to spread evenly in the ground object with the passage of time.
