<h2>Answer: Diffraction</h2><h2 />

Diffraction is a characteristic phenomenon that occurs in all types of waves .

In this sense, <u>diffraction</u> happens when a wave (the light in this case) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the light bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming <u><em>multiple patterns</em></u> with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that <u>the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength. </u>

A source at rest emits light of wavelength 500 nm. When it is moving at 0.90c toward an observer, the observer detects light of

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

(b) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of source = 500 nm

Velocity = 0.90 c

We need to calculate the wavelength of observer

Using Doppler effect

$\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\lambda_{s}$

Where, $\beta=\dfrac{c}{v}$

$\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c-0.90c}{c+0.90c}}\times500\times10^{-9}$

$\lambda_{o}=115\ nm$

Hence, The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

puteri [66]

Correct question:

A solenoid of length 0.35 m and diameter 0.040 m carries a current of 5.0 A through its windings. If the magnetic field in the center of the solenoid is 2.8 x 10⁻² T, what is the number of turns per meter for this solenoid?

Answer:

the number of turns per meter for the solenoid is 4.5 x 10³ turns/m.

Explanation:

Given;

length of solenoid, L= 0.35 m

diameter of the solenoid, d = 0.04 m

current through the solenoid, I = 5.0 A

magnetic field in the center of the solenoid, 2.8 x 10⁻² T

The number of turns per meter for the solenoid is calculated as follows;

$B =\mu_o I(\frac{N}{L} )\\\\B = \mu_o I(n)\\\\n = \frac{B}{\mu_o I} \\\\n = \frac{2.8 \times 10^{-2}}{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times 5.0} \\\\n = 4.5 \times 10^3 \ turns/m$

Therefore, the number of turns per meter for the solenoid is 4.5 x 10³ turns/m.
