A double-slit arrangement produces interference fringes for sodium light (λ = 589 nm) that are 0.48° apart. What is the angular

larisa [96]

Answer:

0.38°

Explanation:

$\theta$ = Angle

m = Number

d = Distance

n = Refractive index of liquid = 1.25

a denotes air

l denotes liquid

In the case of double split interferance we have the relation

$m\lambda=dsin\theta$

For air

$m\lambda_a=dsin\theta_a$

For liquid

$m\lambda_l=dsin\theta_l$

Dividing the two equations

$\frac{m\lambda_a}{m\lambda_l}=\frac{dsin\theta_a}{dsin\theta_l}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\lambda_a}{\lambda_l}=\frac{sin\theta_a}{sin\theta_l}$

Wavelength ratio = $n$

$n=\frac{sin\theta_a}{sin\theta_l}\\\Rightarrow \frac{sin0.48}{1.25}=sin\theta_l\\\Rightarrow \theta_l=sin^{-1}\frac{sin0.48}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow \theta_l=0.38^{\circ}$

The angular separation is 0.38°

A typical human consumes 2500 Kcal of energy during a day. This is the equivalent to 10,450,000 J! Say you decided to run stairs

defon

Answer:

2940.1 joules would you burn in climbing stairs all day.

Explanation:

Work = W = F $\times$ d

going up stairs would be against force of gravity

W = mgh

where h is the height

the question is not complete because we need speed or distance

h = v $\times$ t

so assuming 1 step per second

h = 86,400 steps $\times$ 7inchs/step $\times$ 0.0254 m/inch

h = 15362 m

so from this

W = 800 N $\times$ 15362

= 12289600 J

that means YOU need 12289600 J to walk 1 step per second all day

divide that by 4180 J /Kcal

Kcal = $\frac{W}{(J/Kcal)}$

= $\frac{12289600}{4180}$

= 2940.1 Kcal

if you ran faster you would use more energy 2 steps per second would mean 5880 Kcal.

A student says that a speed of 50 m/s is faster than a speed of 140 km/h because the number is bigger. What would you say to the

Yuri [45]

if you convert these into miles per hour 50 m/s would be higher, since

50 m/s = 111.85 mph and

140 km/h = 86.99 mph

What is the predicted result when two different materials of equal mass absorb the same amount of energy by heat flow?

Ludmilka [50]

The correct is D.

Explanation: The specific heat is defined as heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree. Greater the specific heat, more is the heat required to raise the temperature for equal mass. So, the temperature of the material with lowest specific heat will increase the most for the same amount of heat energy.
