Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Grafting width is 260nm

Separation is d= 810nm

Wavelength is λ = 550 nm

A. The condition for maximum grating is given as

d Sinθ = mλ

where,

λ is the wavelength

d is the operation between the two slit.

The range is Sinθ is -1 and 1

But since θ Is between 0-180°

Then, 0≤Sinθ≤1

Then, we must have d ≥ mλ

So, d/λ ≤m

Then, m ≥ d/λ

m ≥ 810/550

m ≥1.47

So, we can take m = 1

There are three maxima m = -1,0,1

b. When N = 1300.

For first order maxima m = 1

Then, d Sinθ = mλ

d Sinθ = λ

The angular width is given as.

∆θ = λ/NdCosθ, where d Sinθ = λ

∆θ = dSinθ/NdCosθ

∆θ = tanθ/N, equation 1

d Sinθ = λ

Sinθ = λ / d

θ = ArcSin(λ/d)

θ = ArcSin(550/810)

θ = 42.77°

Substituting theta into equation 1

∆θ = tanθ/N

∆θ = tan(42.77)/1000

∆θ = 0.000925rad

To degree 2πrad = 360°

∆θ = 0.000925rad × 360°/2πrad

∆θ = 0.053°

The angular width of the spectral line is observed to be 0.053°

balandron [24]

Answer:

7.328m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

height of table = 0.68m

final velocity of the ball = 6m/s

Unknown:

Initial velocity of ball = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we are going to employ the appropriate motion equation.

We must understand that this fall occurs in the presence of gravity;

            V = U + 2gH

Where;

 V is the final velocity

 U is the initial velocity

 g is the acceleration due to gravity

 H is the height of the pool table

    Since U is the unknown, let us make it the subject of the expression;

           U = V - 2gH

        U = 6 - (2 x 9.8 x 0.68)  = 7.328m/s(deceleration)

A body is moving with a uniform acceleration of 2m/s² what does it mean?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

the body has energy due to its constant motion. it means it moves in a uniform acceleration which has zero velocity

Explanation:

Uniform or constant acceleration is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal time period.

A hot-air balloon has a volume of 440 × 10^3 ^3. Calculate the buoyant force that the surrounding cold air exerts on the balloon
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of the balloon is

V = 440 × 10³ m³

Buoyant force F?

Given the density of the surrounding to be 2.58 kg/m³

ρ = 2.58 kg/m³

The buoyant force is the weight of water displaced and it is calculated using

F_b = ρVg

Where

F_b is buoyant force

ρ is density

V is the volume of the liquid displace.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Then,

F_b = ρVg

F_b = 2.58 × 440 × 10³ × 9.81

F_b = 1.1 × 10^7 N

Q. At what point in a waterfall do the drops of water contain the most kinetic energy ?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

2.When they reach the bottom of the fall

Explanation:

The potential energy of the waterfall is maximum at the maximum height and decreases with decrease in height. Based on the law of conservation of mechanical energy, as the potential energy of the water fall is decreasing with  decrease in height of the fall, its kinetic energy will be increasing and the kinetic energy will be maximum at zero height (bottom of the fall).

Thus, the correct option is "2" When they reach the bottom of the fall
