Light of wavelength 623.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 76.5 cm from the slit.
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of light λ = 623 x 10⁻⁹ m .

Distance of screen D = 76.5 x 10⁻² m

width of slit        =      d

Distance on the screen between the second order minimum and the central maximum       =  2  λ D / d

1.11 x 10⁻²  = (2 x 623 x 10⁻⁹ x 76.5 x 10⁻² )/ d

d =  ( 2 x 623 x 10⁻⁹ x 76.5 x 10⁻²) / 1.11 x 10⁻²

= 85872.97 x  10⁻⁹

=  85.87297 x  10⁻⁶

= 85.87 μm

width a of the slit is = 85.87 μm

One student did an experiment on the rock cycle.
Nonamiya [84]
First, when the student added the layers of wax over each other, this became a representation of sedimentary rocks.

Then the student folded his/her palm and squeezed the layers of wax. This means that the student applied heat and pressure on the wax (sedimentary rocks)

Referring to the diagram below which represents the rock cycle, we will find that applying heat and pressure on sedimentary rocks would convert these rocks into metamorphic rocks.

Based on the above, the best choice would be:
<span>d. Heat and pressure can change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.</span>

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updrafts and downdrafts. True or False
jasenka [17]

A mature thunderstorm will contain both updraft and downdrafts. The given statement is true.

When the cumulus cloud becomes very large, the water in it becomes large and heavy. Raindrops start to fall through the cloud when the rising air can no longer hold them up. Meanwhile, cool dry air starts to enter the cloud. Because cool air is heavier than warm air, it starts to descend in the cloud (known as a downdraft). The downdraft pulls the heavy water downward, making rain.

This cloud has become a cumulonimbus cloud because it has an updraft, a downdraft, and rain. Thunder and lightning start to occur, as well as heavy rain. The cumulonimbus is now a thunderstorm cell.
