Diffraction of white light with a single slit produces bright lines of different colors.What is the color of the central image?

Physics

Answer:

white

Explanation:

This experiment causes lines of different colors because the constructive interference depends on the wavelength, so for different wavelength, the position of the maximum will be different.

Now, in diffraction fo a single slit we always have a central maximum (for all the colors)

This means that after the diffraction, we will have that all the colors have a maximum in the center, which will produce white light again, then the color of the central image is white

A mass on the end of a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion. At the instant when the mass is at its equilibrium position, wha
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

3.At equilibrium, its instantaneous velocity is at maximum

Explanation:

The motion of a mass on the end of a spring is a simple harmonic motion. In a simple harmonic motion, the total mechanical energy of the system is constant, and it is sum of the elastic potential energy (U) and the kinetic energy of the mass (K):

E=U+K=\frac{1}{2}kx^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = const.

where

k is the spring constant

x is the displacement of the spring from equilibrium

m is the mass

v is the speed

As we see from the formula, since the total energy E is constant, when the displacement (x) increases, the speed (v) increases, and viceversa. Therefore, when the mass is at its equilibrium position (which corresponds to x=0), the velocity of the mass will be maximum.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The area of a circle is given b

A=πr²

Then,

dA/dr= 2πr

Also give that,

dr/dt=30m/hr, r=100m

We want to find dA/dt

dA/dt=dA/dr×dr/dt

dA/dt= 2πr × 30

dA/dt= 2 ×π ×100×30

dA/dt=18849.56m²/s.

The rate of the area is 18849.56m²/s
