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

The velocity of a 0.25kg model rocket changes from 15m/s [up] to 40m/s [up] in
vivado [14]

The force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is 10.42 N.

<h3>Force escaping gas exerts</h3>

The force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is calculated as follows;

F = m(v - u)/t

where;

  • m is mass of the rocket
  • v is the final velocity of the rocket
  • u is the initial velocity of the rocket
  • t is time of motion

F = (0.25)(40 - 15)/0.6

F = 10.42 N

Thus, the force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is 10.42 N.

Your roommate leaves a 120W fan running in your apartment.Over the course of an hour,how much thermal energy does the fan add to
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

4.32\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

Power is related to energy by the following relationship:

P=\frac{E}{t}

where

P is the power used

E is the energy used

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we know that

- the power of the fan is P = 120 W

- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of

t = 1 h \cdot (60 min/h)(60 s/min)=3600 s

So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:

E=Pt=(120 W)(3600 s)=4.32\cdot 10^5 J

what do you think is the purpose of a periscope? Are there any other uses for periscopes besides for submarines?
spin [16.1K]

Military personnel also use periscopes in some gun turrets and in armoured vehicles. More complex periscopes using prisms or advanced fibre optics instead of mirrors and providing magnification operate on submarines and in various fields of science
