A monochromatic light passes through a narrow slit and forms a diffraction pattern on a screen behind the slit. As the slit widt

maw [93]

Answer:

shrinks with all the fringes getting narrower

Explanation:

As the light passes through the slit, the diffraction pattern shrinks, as the waves have more opening to penetrate, and the fringes becomes more narrow as a result of that, The opposite happens as the conditions are reversed.

A car slows down from 27.7 m/s <br> to 10.9 m/s in 2.37 s. <br> What is its acceleration?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

- 7.088 m/s²

Explanation:

As we know that,

★ Acceleration = Change in velocity/Time

→ a = (v - u)/t

Here,

Initial velocity (u) = 27.7 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 10.9 m/s

→ a = (10.9 m/s - 27.7 m/s)/2.37 s

→ a = -16.8/2.37 m/s²

→ <u>a</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>7</u><u>.</u><u>0</u><u>8</u><u>8</u><u> </u><u>m/s²</u> [Answer]

Negative sign denotes that the velocity is decreasing.

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

$\lambda_2 = 573.3 nm$

Explanation:

As we know that the position of maximum intensity on the screen is given as

$y = \frac{N\lambda L}{d}$

here we know that

$\lambda$ = wavelength

L = distance of the screen

d = distance between two slits

now we know that the position of 8th maximum intensity is same as that of 9th maximum on the screen

so we have

$\frac{N_1\lambda_1 L}{d} = \frac{N_2 \lambda_2 L}{d}$

so here we have

$8 (645 nm) = 9 \lambda_2$

$\lambda_2 = 573.3 nm$

Why type of energy is present after a solar panel changes forms?

NNADVOKAT [17]

Explanation:

Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy either through photovoltaic (PV) panels or through mirrors that concentrate solar radiation. This energy can be used to generate electricity or be stored in batteries or thermal storage.

An open rectangular tank 1 m wide and 2 m long contains gasoline to a depth of 1 m. If the height of the tank sides is 1.5 m, wh

lara [203]

Answer:

$a_y = 4.9\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given,

Width of rectangular tank, b = 1 m

Length of the tank, l = 2 m

height of the tank, d = 1.5 m

Depth of gasoline on the tank, h = 1 m

$\dfrac{dz}{dy}=-\dfrac{1.5-1}{1}$

$\dfrac{dz}{dy}=-0.5$

The differential form with the acceleration

$\dfrac{dz}{dy}=\dfrac{-a_y}{a_z + g}$

$-0.5=-\dfrac{a_y}{a_z + g}$

acceleration in z-direction = 0 m/s²

g = 9.8 m/s²

a_y is the horizontal acceleration of the gasoline.

$0.5=\dfrac{a_y}{0 + 9.8}$

$a_y = 9.8\times 0.5$

$a_y = 4.9\ m/s^2$

Hence, Horizontal acceleration of the gasoline before gasoline would spill is equal to 4.9 m/s²
