The railroad tracks will expand because the heat waves make them bigger

The heat could make the rails expand or even rust if there was some wind.

Bright and dark fringes are seen on a screen when light from a single source reaches two narrow slits a short distance apart. Th

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the thickness of the film is t and the refractive index of the material of film is n.

When light travels through a sheet of thickness t, the optical path traveled is nt.

When the path of one of slit is covered by a sheet of thickness t, the optical path becomes

x = ( n - 1) t

As the one fringe is shift, so the optical path changed by one wavelength.

i.e., x = λ

So, λ = ( n - 1) t

$t=\frac{\lambda }{n-1}$

Bare free charges do not remain stationary when close together. To illustrate this, calculate the acceleration of two isolated p

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Acceleration, $a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Separation between the protons, $r=3.73\ nm=3.73\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Charge on protons, $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

Mass of protons, $m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

We need to find the acceleration of two isolated protons. It can be calculated by equating electric force between protons and force due to motion as :

$ma=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$
