Answer:

a. light from the sun reflects off the moon as it orbits earth.

Explanation:

Moon does not have its own light, it reflects the sunlight falling on it. Phases of moon are the different shapes of the moon that we see. There are mainly 5 phases of moon: New moon, Crescent, Half moon, gibbous and full moon. These shapes are due to the illuminated portion of the moon (by the Sun) that is visible from the Earth.

Thus, option a is correct.

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

$\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}$ x $\frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}$

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x $\frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}$

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x $\frac{16.76}{y}$ = k 2 x $\frac{25.5}{.3-y}$

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m

A rock with density 1900 kg/m3 is suspended from the lower end of a light string. When the rock is in air, the tension in the st

wel

Answer:

the tension T2 when the rock is completely immersed is T2 = 29.05 N

Explanation:

from Newton's second law

F= m*a

where F= force , m= mass , a= acceleration

when the rock is suspended ,a=0 since it is at rest. Then

T1 - m*g = 0 , T1= tension when suspended in air , g= gravity

assuming constant density of the rock

m= ρ rock *V , where ρ rock = density of the rock , V= volume

thus

T1= m*g = ρ rock *g*V

V= T1/(ρ rock *g)

when the rock is submerged in oil , it receives an upward force that equals the weight of the volume of displaced oil (V displaced). Since it is completely submerged the volume displaced is the volume of the rock V=Vdisplaced

When the rock is at rest , then

F= m*a=0

T2 + ρ oil *g*V displaced - ρ rock *g*V =0

T2 = ρ rock *g*V - ρ oil *g*V = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = g*V (ρ rock - ρ oil) = T1/(ρ rock *g) *g * (ρ rock - ρ oil)

T2 = T1 * (ρ rock - ρ oil)/ρ rock

replacing values

T2 = 48 N * (1900 kg/m3- 750 kg/m3)/ 1900 kg/m3 = 29.05 N

T2 = 29.05 N

"In a Young’s double-slit experiment, the separation between slits is d and the screen is a distance D from the slits. D is much

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is, $x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

Explanation:

If d is the separation between slits, D is the distance between the slit and the screen and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light. Let x is the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is given by :

$x=\dfrac{n\lambda D}{d}$

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

n is the order

If n = 1,

$x=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$

So, the the number of bright fringes per unit width on the screen is $\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}$ . Hence, the correct option is (B).
