STREAK: The streak (also called "powder color") of a mineral is the color of the powder produced when it is dragged across an un-weathered surface.

CLEAVAGE: Cleavage refers to how some minerals break along flat planes when exposed to stress, such as being hit with a hammer.

How is streak important to identifying a mineral?-

The color of a mineral's powder is often a very important property for identifying the mineral. The streak test is done by scraping a specimen of the mineral across a piece of unglazed porcelain known as a "streak plate." This can produce a small amount of powdered mineral on the surface of the plate.

How is cleavage important to identifying a mineral?-

Cleavages are described in terms of their quality - how smoothly the mineral breaks - and their difficulty - how easy, or how hard, it is to produce the cleavage. The quality of cleavages are perfect, imperfect, distinct, good, fair, and poor. The difficulty is described as easy, hard, and difficult to produce. So, cleavage can be used to identify minerals on the Mohs’ hardness scale.

Light of wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm. (a) the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 m
faltersainse [42]

The distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

To find the answer, we have to know about the width of the central maximum.

<h3>How to find the distance between slit and the screen?</h3>
  • It is given that, wavelength 560 nm passes through a slit of width 0. 170 mm, and the width of the central maximum on a screen is 8. 00 mm.
  • We have the expression for slit width w as,

                           w=\frac{2*wavelength*d}{a}

where, d is the distance between slit and the screen, and a is the slit width.

  • Thus, distance between slit and the screen is,

                           d=\frac{w*a}{2*wavelength} =\frac{8*10^{-3}*0.17*10^{-3}}{560*10^{-9}*2} \\\\d=1.214m

Thus, we can conclude that, the distance between slit and the screen is 1.214m.

Please answer in your own words and I will mark brainlist, Compare all matters from the view of passing light through them (name
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Light passes through the gas

Light passes through the pure water

Light passes through some solids

Explanation:

In gasses, there are many spaces between the molecules. These spaces allow light to pass through them without any interruption.

In pure water, there are some spaces between particles. these particles allow some light rays to pass theough, some to move through the common boundary and reflec5 some of them.

in solids, some allow light to pass through as they are transparent or translucent

Which device provides electrical energy to run an electric circuit
REY [17]

The correct answer is

C. The battery

The battery is a device that provides a potential difference in the circuit, and so an electromotive force (e.m.f.) which pushes the electrons in the circuit from the negative pole towards the positive pole of the battery, so they move through the circuit. Therefore, it provides electrical energy.
