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>

Answer:

a) f=0.1 Hz ; b) T=10s

c)λ= 36m

d)v=3.6m/s

e)amplitude, cannot be determined

Explanation:

Complete question is:

Determine, if possible, the wave's (a) frequency, (b) period, (c) wavelength, (d) speed, and (e) amplitude.

Given:

number of wave crests 'n'= 5

pass in a time't' 54.0s

distance between two successive crests 'd'= 36m

a) Frequency of the waves 'f' can be determined by dividing number of wave crests with time, so we have

f=n/t

f= 5/ 54 => 0.1Hz

b)The time period of wave 'T' is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore,

T=1/f

T=1/0.1

T=10 sec.

c)wavelength'λ' is the distance between two successive crests i.e 36m

Therefore, λ= 36m

d) speed of the wave 'v' can be determined by the product of frequency and wavelength

v= fλ => 0.1 x 36

v=3.6m/s

e) For amplitude, no data is given in this question. So, it cannot be determined.

Water is not wet, wet is a state of being. Water, however, can make things wet.

A spy in a speed boat is being chased down a river by government officials in a faster craft. Just as the officials’ boat pulls
babunello [35]

Answer:

They are 7.4m apart.

Explanation:

Here we have a parabolic motion problem. we need the time taken to land so:

Y=Yo+Vo*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2

considerating only the movement on Y axis:

0=4.6-(9.81)*t^2\\t=0.68s

Because we have a contant velocity motion on X axis:

xs=vs*t\\xs=17m/s*(0.68s)\\xs=11.6m

and

xg=vg*t\\xg=28m/s*(0.68s)\\xg=19m

the distance between them is given by:

d=|xg-xs|\\d=7.4m

A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end
IgorC [24]

Answer:

d) shortening the string

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.

When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.

This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.
