The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

Given:  

diffraction grating slits = 900 slits per centimeter

interference pattern that is observed on a screen from the grating = 2.38m

maxima for two different wavelengths = 3.40mm

 

slit separation .. d = 1/900cm = 1.11^-3cm = 1.111^-5 m <span>

Whenas n = 1, maxima (grating equation) sinθ = λ/d 
Grant distance of each maxima from centre = y .. 
<span>As sinθ ≈ y/D  y/D = λ/d λ = yd / D </span>

∆λ = (λ2 - λ1) = y2.d/D - y1.d/D 
∆λ = (d/D) [y2 -y1] 

<span>∆λ = 1.111^-5m x [3.40^-3m] / 2.38m .. .. ►∆λ = 1.587^-8 m</span></span>

What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? Sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to tr
vagabundo [1.1K]

The speed of sound depends on any form of matter or medium in which sound travels through it and depends on the amount of molecular collisions. Sound travels slowest in gas in the form of steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart making it harder for the energy of vibrations hit the particles and make sound.

Moreover, sound travelling through solids like ice is much faster because the particles are closer together so the sound waves do not have to travel that far making the number of collisions greater and sound spread more easily.

A crane does 62,500 joules of work to lift a boulder a distance of 25.0 meters. How much did the boulder weight
alukav5142 [94]
Work = (force) x (distance)

62,500 joules = (boulder's weight) x (25 meters)

Divide each side by (25 meters) :

Boulder's weight = (62,500 joules) / (25 meters) = <u>2,500 newtons</u>

That's about 562 pounds.

PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Energy =  1.5032*10^(-10) Joules

Explanation:

By Einstein's relativistic energy equation, we know that the energy of a given particle is given by:

Energy = rest energy + kinetic energy.

            = m*c^2  + (γ - 1)*mc^2

Where γ depends on the velocity of the particle.

But if the proton is at rest, then the kinetic energy is zero, and γ = 1

Then the energy is just given by:

Energy = m*c^2

Where we know that:

mass of a proton = 1.67*10^(-27) kg

speed of light = c = 2.9979*10^(8) m/s

Replacing these in the energy equation, we get:

Energy = ( 1.6726*10^(-27) kg)*( 2.9979*10^(8) m/s)^2

Energy = 1.5032*10^(-10) kg*m^2/s^2

Energy =  1.5032*10^(-10) J
