Which statement best describes the energy changes that occur while a child is riding on a sled down a steep, snow-covered hill?

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of λ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength λ ? (b) W

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = λ

For D to be small,

We need to calculate the minimum width

Using formula of minimum width

$D\sin\theta=n\lambda$

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Where, D = width of slit

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Here, $\sin\theta$ should be maximum.

So. maximum value of $\sin\theta$ is 1

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{1\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=\lambda$

(b). If the minimum number is 50

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{50\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=50\lambda$

(c). If the minimum number is 1000

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{1000\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=1000\lambda$

Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

We have seen that starlight passing through the interstellar medium is dimmed and reddened. Look at the photo of a sunset on Ear

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reddening of sun's rays at sunset and sunrise is due to scattering of light . The white light consisting of seven colours coming from the sun are scattered in different directions when they fall on the air particles present in atmosphere . Red coloured light scatters least and it travels straight forward to the viewer on the earth . On the other hand other colours scatter most and therefore they go out of area of vision for the viewer on the earth . Since only red colour reaches the eye of the viewer , sun's ray appear red . This happens during sunrise and sunset . It is so because during this period , sun rays travel far greater distance through atmosphere , so scattering is most pronounced .

According to Ohm’s law, the ratio of voltage to current in a conductor is

valina [46]

According to Ohm’s law, the ratio of voltage to current in a conductor is constant.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ohm's law defines that an electric current flowing through the conductor between two ends is directly proportionate to the voltage at these two points. The introduction of a constant proportionality, resistance, gives a simple mathematical equation describing this relationship. Particularly, Ohm's law also mentions that R is constant in this respect, i.e. not dependent on the current.

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

Where,

I is the current conduction in amperes

V is the voltage calculated by the conductor in volts

R is the conductor’s resistance in ohms.

Why are dark matter and dark energy described as dark

zaharov [31]

Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it does not absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect.
