Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

d\sin \theta =m\lambda

For Destructive interference

d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda

where \lambda =wavelength

d=slit\ width

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. m=2

For smallest separation taking \lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}

d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}

d=0.8\times 10^{-6}

d=0.8\mu m

The work done to compress a spring with a force constant of 290.0 N/m a total of 12.3 mm is: a) 3.57 J b) 1.78 J c) 0.0219 J d)
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Work done, W = 0.0219 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Force constant of the spring, k = 290 N/m

Compression in the spring, x = 12.3 mm = 0.0123 m

We need to find the work done to compress a spring. The work done in this way is given by :

W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 290\times (0.0123)^2

W = 0.0219 J

So, the work done by the spring is 0.0219 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

If 10 waves pass a point each second and their wavelength is 30m, what is their speed?
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

300m/s

Explanation:

velocity = frequency(wavelength)

Since 10 waves pass a point each second, frequency is 10

therefore, speed = (10)(30 = 300m/s

Hey guys, i need some help. I'm having a physics test tmmrow and I understand nothing :(. Can anyone plz explain or give me a br

We think of sound as something we hear—something that makes noise. But in pure physics terms, sound is just a vibration going through matter.

The way a vibration “goes through” matter is in the form of a sound wave. When you think of sound waves, you probably think of something like this:1

But that’s not how sound waves work. A wave like that is called a transverse wave, where each individual particle moves up and down to create a snake situation.

A sound wave is more like an earthworm situation:2

Like an earthworm, sound moves by compressing and decompressing. This is called a longitudinal wave. A slinky can do both kinds of waves:13

Sound starts with a vibration of some kind creating a longitudinal wave through matter. Check this out:4

That’s what sound looks like—except picture an expanding ripple of spheres doing that. In this animation, the sound wave is being generated by that vibrating grey bar on the left. The bar might be your vocal chords, a guitar string, or a waterfall continually pounding down into the river below. By looking at the red dots, you can see that even though the wave moves in one direction, each individual particle only moves back and forth, mimicking the vibration of the gray bar.

So instead of a curvy snake wave, sound is a pressure wave, which causes each piece of the air to be at either higher-than-normal pressure or lower-than-normal pressure. So when you see a snake-like illustration of a sound wave, it’s referring to the measure of pressure, not the literal path of movement of the particles:5
