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>

Vector → A points due north and vector → B points due west. Both vectors have the same magnitude. Which of the following vectors
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

B - A

Explanation:

For the combination of 2 vector to due southwest, 1 vector must due south and the other vector due west. Since vector B is already due west, vector A should due south. As vector A is already due north, vector -A would due south. So the combination of B + (-A) or B - A should points southwest

A ray of yellow light (f = 5.09 × 1014hz) travels at a speed of 2.04 × 108meters per second in
denis23 [38]
Velocity = fλ

where f is frequency in Hz, and λ is wavelength in meters.

2.04 * 10⁸ m/s =  5.09 * 10¹⁴  Hz   *  λ

(2.04 * 10⁸ m/s) / (5.09 * 10¹⁴  Hz ) = λ

4.007*10⁻⁷  m =  λ

The wavelength of the yellow light = 4.007*10⁻⁷  m

When applying a horizontal force of 30N, an object of mass 6 kg accelerates at 4m/s2. The force of friction on the surface must
Rus_ich [418]
Using Newton's Second Law, F = ma, where F is the net force

So the net force is:

F = (6kg)(4m/s^2) = 24N

Since you are applying a horizontal force of 30N, we can find the force of friction by the difference of the net force and the applied force.

30N-24N = 6N

F_{f} = 6N

lozanna [386]

Answer: 4.50*10^-6T (0.00000450071T)

Explanation: A current carrying conductor has been knowing to generate a specific amount of magnetic field.

This is given by the Bio-savart law (mathematical).

The Bio-savart law is a mathematical equation that gives the value of strength of the magnetic field created by a current carrying conductor.

B=(Uo* I) /2πr

Where

B= strength of magnetic field

Uo = magnetic permeability in free space = 1.257 *10^-6

r = distance between current carrying conductor and any reference point.

By doing the neccesary algebra, we have

B=(1.257 *10^-6 * 180)/ (2 * 3.142 * 8)

B= 2.2626 *10^-4 / 50.2857

B=4.5 * 10^-6T (0.00000450071T)
