Answer:

b. 0.25cm

Explanation:

You can solve this question by using the formula for the position of the fringes:

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

m: order of the fringes

lambda: wavelength 500nm

D: distance to the screen 5 m

d: separation of the slits 1mm=1*10^{-3}m

With the formula you can calculate the separation of two adjacent slits:

\Delta y=\frac{(m+1)(\lambda D)}{d}-\frac{m\lambda D }{d}=\frac{\lambda D}{d}\\\\\Delta y=\frac{(500*10^{-9}nm)(5m)}{1*10^{-3}m}=2.5*10^{-3}m=0.25cm

hence, the aswer is 0.25cm

You pick up a 10-newton book off the floor and put it on a shelf 2 meters high. How much work did you do?​
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

20 J

Explanation:

Given:

Weight of the book is, W=10\ N

Height or displacement of the book is, d=2\ m

The work done on the book to raise it to a height of 2 m on a shelf is against gravity. The gravitational force acting on the book is equal to its weight. Now, in order to raise it, an equal amount of force must be applied in the opposite direction.

So, the force applied by me should be equal to weight of the body and in the upward direction. The displacement is also in the upward direction.

Now, work done by the applied force is equal to the product of force applied and displacement of book in the direction of the applied force.

Therefore, work done is given as:

Work=W\times d\\Work=10\times 2=20\ J

Therefore, the work done to raise a book to a height 2 m from the floor is 20 J.

Sliva [168]

Answer:

the action of measuring something.

Measurement is a comparison of an unknown quantity with a known fixed quantity of the same kind. The value obtained on measuring a quantity is called its magnitude. Magnitude of a quantity is expressed as numbers in its units.

Which of the following methods has led to the earliest discoveries of massive planets orbiting near their parent stars a. detect
Mrac [35]

Answer:

c. detecting the gravitational effect of an orbiting planet (The Wobble"") by looking for the Doppler shifts in the star's spectrum

Explanation:

In a solar system the mass of the star and planets affect each other's orbital  movements. The center of gravity of a star and a planet is inside the star. This causes the star to be closer and farther from the Earth at different times. Due to this wobble the star appears to be red shifted when it is farther and blue shifted when it is closer.

When the mass of the planet is high, like a hot Jupiter it causes more wobble i.e., change in radial velocity. This makes it easier to detect the planet. The earliest hot Jupiter found by this method is the planet 51 Pegasi b.
