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 boy reaches out of a window and tosses a ball straight up with a speed of 10 m/s. The ball is 20 m above the ground as he rele
kirill115 [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the ball, v = 10 m/s

Initial position of ball above ground, h = 20 m

(a) Let H is the maximum height reached by the ball. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh'            

h'=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}

h'=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

h' = 5.1 m

The maximum height above ground,

H = 5.1 + 20

H = 25.1 meters

So, the maximum height reached by the ball is 25.1 meters.

(b) The ball's speed as it passes the window on its way down is same as the initial speed i.e. 10 m/s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A hot-air balloon has a volume of 440 × 10^3 ^3. Calculate the buoyant force that the surrounding cold air exerts on the balloon
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

The volume of the balloon is

V = 440 × 10³ m³

Buoyant force F?

Given the density of the surrounding to be 2.58 kg/m³

ρ = 2.58 kg/m³

The buoyant force is the weight of water displaced and it is calculated using

F_b = ρVg

Where

F_b is buoyant force

ρ is density

V is the volume of the liquid displace.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Then,

F_b = ρVg

F_b = 2.58 × 440 × 10³ × 9.81

F_b = 1.1 × 10^7 N
