A double-slit interference experiment shows fringes on a screen. The entire experiment is then immersed in water. Do the fringes

on the screen get closer together, farther apart, remain the same, or disappear entirely? Explain.

Answer:

Get closer together

Explanation:

The refractive index of water is relatively than the refractive index of a vacuum or air. Due to the relationship between speed of light and refractive index, if the refractive index of the medium increases, the speed of light will decrease when the experiment is immersed in water. A reduction in the speed of light will lead to a decrease in wavelength. Mathematically the space between the fringes (Δy) is:

Δy = λ*L/d

Because the variables "L" and "d" are constants, a reduction in wavelength will lead to a reduction in Δy.

What are the characteristics of Earth’s lithosphere and how does the lithosphere play a role in plate tectonics?
pashok25 [27]
The lithosphere includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust, the outermost layers of Earth's structure. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and the asthenosphere (another part of the upper mantle) below. Although the rocks of the lithosphere are still considered elastic, they are not viscous

Three long parallel wires each carry 2.0-A currents in the same direction. The wires are oriented vertically, and they pass thro
blagie [28]

Answer:

21.2\times 10^{-6} T

Explanation:

i  = magnitude of current in each wire = 2.0 A

a  = length of the side of the square = 4 cm = 0.04 m

r  = length of the diagonal of the square = \sqrt{2} a = \sqrt{2} (0.04) = 0.057 m

B = magnitude of magnetic field by wires at A and C

B = \left ( \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \right )\left ( \frac{2i}{a} \right )

B = (10^{-7}) \left ( \frac{2(2)}{0.04} \right )

B = 10\times 10^{-6} T

B' = magnitude of magnetic field by wire at B

B' = \left ( \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi } \right )\left ( \frac{2i}{r} \right )

B' = (10^{-7}) \left ( \frac{2(2)}{0.057} \right )

B' = 7.02\times 10^{-6} T

Net magnitude of the magnetic field at D is given as

B_{net} = \sqrt{B^{2}+B^{2}} + B'

B_{net} = \sqrt{2} B + B'

B_{net} = \sqrt{2} (10\times 10^{-6}) + (7.02\times 10^{-6})

B_{net} = 21.2\times 10^{-6} T
