Answer: The specific heat capacity is very low.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of a body is defined as the heat energy required by a body to cause a unit change in its temperature. The value is over low that is why it is easier for the desert sand to easily get very hot during the day. Conversely, it is very easy for the desert sand to lose it's heat a cool breeze pass over it in the night making it very cold in the night. This value also defines how long the desert sand can retain heat. Therefore, the desert sand has a low specific heat capacity.

koban [17]

Answer:

$N = 1340.86 \ slits / cm$

$\theta = 15.7^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 650 \ nm = 650 *10^{-9} \ m$

The angle of first bright fringe is $\theta = 5^o$

The order of the fringe considered is n =1

Generally the condition for constructive interference is

$dsin (\theta ) = n * \lambda$

=> $d = \frac{1 * 650 *10^{-9 }}{ sin(5)}$

=> $d = 7.458 *10^{-6} \ m$

Converting to cm

$d = 7.458 *10^{-6} \ m = 7.458 *10^{-6} * 100 = 0.0007458 \ cm$

Generally the number of grating pre centimeter is mathematically represented as

$N = \frac{1}{d}$

=> $N = \frac{1}{0.0007458}$

=> $N = 1340.86 \ slits / cm$

Considering question B

From the question we are told that

The first wavelength is $\lambda_1 = 650 \ nm = 650 *10^{-9} \ m$

The second wavelength is $\lambda_2 = 429 \ m = 420 *10^{-9 } \ m$

The order of the fringe is $n = 2$

The grating is $N = 5000 \ slits / cm$

Generally the slit width is mathematically represented as

$d = \frac{1}{N }$

=> $d = \frac{1}{ 5000 }$

=> $d = 0.0002 \ c m = 2.0 *10^{-6} \ m$

Generally the condition for constructive interference for the first ray is mathematically represented as

$d sin(\theta_1) = n * \lambda_1$

=> $\theta_1 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * \lambda }{d}]$

=> $\theta_1 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * 650 *10^{-9} }{ 2*10^{-6}}]$

=> $\theta_1 = 40.5 ^o$

Generally the condition for constructive interference for the second ray is mathematically represented as

$d sin(\theta_2) = n * \lambda_2$

=> $\theta_2 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * \lambda_1 }{d}]$

=> $\theta_2 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 * 420 *10^{-9} }{ 2*10^{-6}}]$

=> $\theta_2 = 24.8 ^o$

Generally the angular separation is mathematically represented as

$\theta = \theta_1 - \theta_1$

=> $\theta = 42.5^o - 24.8^o$

=> $\theta = 15.7^o$
