A double slit that is illuminated with coherent light of wavelength 644 nm produces a pattern of bright and dark fringes on a sc

reen 6.00 cm from the slits. If the slits are 2783 nm apart, what is the distance on the screen between the 4th and the 2nd bright fringes on one side of the central maximum?
A)17.6 cm
B) 23.0 cm
C) 3.13 cm
D)14.7 cm
E)11.5 cm

Answer:

2.77 cm

Explanation:

d = separation between the slits = 2783 x 10⁻⁹ m

\lambda = wavelength of coherent light = 644 nm = 644 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = Distance of the screen = 6 cm = 0.06 m

y_{n} = Position of nth bright fringe

Position of nth bright fringe is given as

y_{n} = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}  

for n = 2

y_{2} = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}  

y_{2} = \frac{(2)(0.06)(644\times10^{-9}))}{2783\times10^{-9}}

y_{2} = 0.0278 m

for n = 4

y_{4} = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}  

y_{4} = \frac{(4)(0.06)(644\times10^{-9}))}{2783\times10^{-9}}

y_{4} = 0.0555 m

Distance between 4th and 2nd bright fringes is given as

w = y_{4} - y_{2} = 0.0555 - 0.0278 = 0.0277 m

w = 2.77 cm

Which scenario presents a possible environmental impact due hydrogen fuel cells?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The scenario that presents a possible environmental impact due to hydrogen fuel cells is that, the electricity used to supply the fuel cells with Hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels.

The question is incomplete, but these should have been the options;

a.) The fuel cells are used to power internal combustion engines rather than electric motors.

b.) The electricity used to supply the fuel cells with hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels.

c.) The combined exhaust emissions from fleets of buses equipped with fuel cells generates smog.

d.) None of these are correct.

The answer therefore is option B. The Hydrogen fuel cell is a device that uses Hydrogen as an energy source to power machines and to generate heat and electricity. It is a green energy alternative to fossil fuels as unlike fossil fuels, it doesn't produce green house gases and is non-toxic. Also, unlike other clean sources of energy like wind and water, it doesn't require a large area of land to be produced.

Hydrogen fuel cells work by combining hydrogen and oxygen atoms. The resulting energy produced is converted to electrical energy which can be used to power electrical motors, while the by-product, water is non-toxic, renewable and doesn't create smog.

However, to produce the hydrogen used in the cells, high amount of energy is required in order to separate hydrogen from oxygen. To accomplish this, fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas and oil are used, releasing harmful emissions which creates a negative environmental impact. This makes the answer to the above question option B. A better alternative though, is to use other renewable energy sources like wind or solar.

How much work is done in holding a 10 newton sack of potatoes while waiting in line at the grocery store for 3 minutes.​
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

W = F × s

F = 10 N,

t = 3min = 180sec

s = 0( no change in postion)

W = 10 ×0

W = 0

The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material one degree is
charle [14.2K]
The amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a material to one degree is called D. its heat capacity.

The relationship of the heat when applied to the object and the change in temperature of the object when heat is being applied is directly proportional to each other. This means that when heat is applied to the object, the temperature of the object increases and when heat is not applied to the object, the temperature of the object decreases.

A train moving at a constant speed on a surface inclined upward at 10.0° with the horizontal travels a distance of 400 meters in
Amiraneli [1.4K]
If the velocity of the train is v=s/t, where s is the distance and t is time, then v=400/5=80m/s. To get the vertical component of the velocity we need to multiply the velocity v with a sin(α): Vv=v*sin(α), where Vv is the vertical component of the velocity and α is the angle with the horizontal. So:

Vv=80*sin(10)=80*0.1736=13.888 m/s. 

So the vertical component of the velocity of the train is Vv=13.888 m/s.
