Apparent magnitude means how bright a star APPEARS to us on Earth. It can be affected by ...

... how bright the star really is
... how far the star is from us
... how much gas and dust is between us
... how much of the star's total output is in visible light

Given info

d = 0.000250 meters = distance between slits

L = 302 cm = 0.302 meters = distance from slits to screen

$\theta_8 = 1.12^{\circ}$ = angle to 8th max (note how m = 8 since we're comparing this to the form $\theta_m$ )

$x_n = x_5 = 3.33 \text{ cm} = 0.0333 \text{ meters}$ (n = 5 as we're dealing with the 5th minimum )

---------------

Method 1

$d\sin(\theta_m) = m\lambda\\\\0.000250\sin(\theta_8) = 8\lambda\\\\8\lambda = 0.000250\sin(1.12^{\circ})\\\\\lambda = \frac{0.000250\sin(1.12^{\circ})}{8}\\\\\lambda \approx 0.000 000 61082633\\\\\lambda \approx 6.1082633 \times 10^{-7} \text{meters}\\\\ \lambda \approx 6.11 \times 10^{-7} \text{ meters}\\\\ \lambda \approx 611 \text{ nm}$

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

-----------------

Method 2

$\Delta x = \frac{\lambda*L*m}{d}\\\\L*\tan(\theta_m) = \frac{\lambda*L*m}{d}\\\\\tan(\theta_m) = \frac{\lambda*m}{d}\\\\\tan(\theta_8) = \frac{\lambda*8}{0.000250}\\\\\tan(1.12^{\circ}) = \frac{\lambda*8}{0.000250}\\\\\lambda = \frac{1}{8}*0.000250*\tan(1.12^{\circ})\\\\\lambda \approx 0.00000061094306 \text{ meters}\\\\\lambda \approx 6.1094306 \times 10^{-7} \text{ meters}\\\\\lambda \approx 611 \text{ nm}\\\\$

-----------------

Method 3

$\frac{d*x_n}{L} = \left(n-\frac{1}{2}\right)\lambda\\\\\frac{0.000250*3.33}{302.0} = \left(5-\frac{1}{2}\right)\lambda\\\\0.00000275662251 \approx \frac{9}{2}\lambda\\\\\frac{9}{2}\lambda \approx 0.00000275662251\\\\\lambda \approx \frac{2}{9}*0.00000275662251\\\\\lambda \approx 0.00000061258279 \text{ meters}\\\\\lambda \approx 6.1258279 \times 10^{-7} \text{ meters}\\\\\lambda \approx 6.13 \times 10^{-7} \text{ meters}\\\\\lambda \approx 613 \text{ nm}\\\\$

There is a slight discrepancy (the first two results were 611 nm while this is roughly 613 nm) which could be a result of rounding error, but I'm not entirely sure.

David is driving a steady 28.0 m/s when he passes Tina, who is sitting in her car at rest. Tina begins to accelerate at a steady

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let t represent the time for Tina to catch David.

Hence, considering the equation of linear motion S = ut + 1/2at^2..... 1

For David u = 28.0 m/s where 'a' is set to nought

S = ut

S = 28t.......2

For Tina consider equation 1

Where acceleration = 2.90m/s^2 and u is set at nought

S = 1/2×2.90 m/s×t^2.......3

Equate 2 and 3

28t = 1.45t^2

Divide through by t

28 = 1.45t

t = 28/1.45

t = 19.31seconds

Now put the value of t into equation 3

S = 1/2×2.90 m/s×t^2.......3

= 1.45×20×20

= 580m

Tina must have driven 580meters before passing David

Considering the equation of linear motion : V^2 = U^2+2as

Where u is set at nought

V^2 = 2as

V^2 = 2×2.9×580

V^2 = 3364

V = √3364

V = 58m/s

Her speed will be 58m/s

We have seen that when you generate a wave on a stretched spring, as long as the medium doesn’t change (that is, the tension and

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

No, the acceleration is not always zero.

Explanation:

It does not mean that the acceleration of the particle is zero.

The velocity of wave is different from the velocity of particle.

The acceleration of wave is different from the acceleration of particle.

the acceleration of the particle is given by

$a =- w^2 y$

where, w is the angular frequency and y is the displacement from the mean position.

So, the acceleration is zero at mean position only and it varies as the position changes.
