Apply the equation. to find the magnitude, which is 1.4.

Apply the equation theta = tan–1(y/x) to find the angle: tan–1(1.0/–1.0) = –45 degrees. However, note that the angle must really be between 90 degrees and 180 degrees because the first vector component is negative and the second is positive.

How does a concave mirror form an image

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The correct option is (c) "it bounces the light towards a focal point"

Explanation:

There are two types of spherical mirrors i.e. concave and convex.

A concave mirror is a type of spherical mirror that is curved inwards. For this type of mirror the rays of light are bounced back and converge to the focal point of the mirror.

So, the correct option is (c).

In a Young’s interference experiment, the two slits are separated by 0.150 mm and the incident light includes two wavelengths: l

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

2.52 × 10⁻² cm

Explanation:

The distance of bright fringe from the center of the screen is given by the formula

$y = \frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

Here, wavelength is λ, Distance of the screen from the slits is D, seperation between the

slits is d.

Separation between the slits, d = 0.15 mm

$= 0.15 * 10^{-3} m$

Distance of the screen from the slits = 1.40 m

We have a wavelength, λ1 = 540 nm

= $540 * 10^{-9} m$

By substituting all these values in the above equation we get

y1 = mλD/d

$y1 = m(540 \times 10^{-9} m)(1.40 m)/(0.15 \times 10^{-3} m)$

$y1 = m(5.04 * 10^{-3} m)$

We have a wavelength, λ2 = 450 nm

= $450 * 10^-9 m$

By substituting all these values in the above equation we get

$y_2 = \frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

$y_2 = m(450 * 10^{-9} m)(1.40 m)/(0.15 * 10^{-3} m)$

$y_2 = m'(4.20 * 10^{-3} m)$

According to the problem, these two distance are coincides with each other.

So,

$y_1 = y_2$

$m(5.04 * 10^{-3} m) = m'(4.20 * 10^{-3} m)$

by testing values, the above equation is satisfied only when, m = 5 and m' = 6

Then from the above we have

y1 = y2 = 0.0252 m

= 2.52 × 10⁻² cm

A 50 kg boy and his 100 kg father went jogging. Both ran at a rate of 5m/s. Who had more kinetic energy

yanalaym [24]

The father because kinetic energy is calculated using 1/2mv^2, but in this case if the velocity was the same then the mass would affect the calculation, and the father has the greater mass this making him have the greater kinetic energy
