A diffraction grating is to be used to find the wavelength of the emission spectrum of a gas. The grating spacing is not known,

but light of a known wavelength of 632.8 nm is deflected by 43.2° in the second order by this grating. Light of the wavelength to be measured is deflected by 34.9° in the second order. What is the wavelength of the light that is to be measured?

Answer:

528.9 nm

Explanation:

For a grating dsinθ = mλ where m = order of grating, d = grating space, λ = wavelength of light and θ = angle of deflection of light

First, we find the grating space d = mλ/sinθ where m = 2 for second order, λ = 632.8 nm = 632.8 × 10⁻⁹ m, θ = 43.2°

d = mλ/sinθ = 2 × 632.8 × 10⁻⁹ m ÷ sin43.2° = 1.849 × 10⁻⁶ m = 1.849 μm

We now find the wavelength of the light to be measured from λ = dsinθ/m

Here, θ = 34.9° and m = 2 for second order. So, we have

λ = dsinθ/m = 1.849 × 10⁻⁶ m × sin34.9° ÷ 2 = 0.5289 × 10⁻⁶ m = 528.9 nm

A water wave has a frequency of 2 Hertz and a wavelength of 5 cm. Calculate it speed
Llana [10]

Answer: 0.1 m/s

Explanation:

Use formula,

v = f * w where, v is speed, f is frequency and w is wavelength.

Now,

v = 2 * 5 * 10 ^ -2 ( Remember to convert all the units to SI units. Here 5 cm becomes 5 * 10 ^ -2 m. )

v = 0.1 m/s.

In a mass spectrometer a particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated through a potential difference V and allowed to enter a
Ghella [55]

Answer:

m = B²qR² / 2 V

Explanation:

If v be the velocity after acceleration under potential difference of V

kinetic energy  = loss of electric potential energy

1/2 m v² = Vq ,

v² = 2 Vq / m ----------------------- ( 1 )

In magnetic field , charged particle comes in circular motion in which magnetic force provides centripetal force

magnetic force = centripetal force

Bqv = mv² / R

v = BqR / m

v² = B²q²R² / m²  ------------------------- (2)

from (1) and (2)

B²q²R² / m²  = 2 Vq / m

m = B²q²R² / 2 Vq

m = B²qR² / 2 V

If velocity is decreasing,then acceleration:
ziro4ka [17]
If velocity is decreasing, then acceleration is in the direction
opposite to the velocity.

If the object is moving in the direction that you call 'positive',
then acceleration is negative.

Which wavelength would scientists use to measure the molecular structure of H2O?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

To find out what water is made of, it helps to look at its chemical formula, which is H2O. This basically tells us that the water molecule is composed of two elements: hydrogen and oxygen or, more precisely, two hydrogen atoms (H2) and one oxygen atom (O).

Calculate the net force and the acceleration on the block
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Net Force = 10N

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

Explanation:

calculate the net force and the acceleration on the block

Net force on the block F = mass * acceleration

Net force acting in the positive direction = 4N + 6N = 10N

Mass = 5kg

According to newton's second law;

a = F/m

a = 10N/5

a = 2m/s^2

hence the acceleration on the block is 2m/s^2
