5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

λ = wave length = 632 x 10⁻⁹

slit width a = 2 x 10⁻³ m

angular separation of central maxima

= 2 x λ /a

= 2 x 632 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 632 x 10⁻⁶ rad

width in m of light spot.

= 632 x 10⁻⁶  x 376000 km

= 237.632 km

How do u calculate momentum
Helga [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the momentum of a moving object multiply the mass of the object times its velocity. The symbol for momentum is a small p. So, the momentum of the object is calculated to be 8.0 kg-m/s. Note the unit for momentum.

The x component of vector is 8.7 units, and its y component is -6.5 units. The magnitude of is closest to
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

F = 10.86 units

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector in terms of the magnitude of its rectangular components is given by the following formula:

F = √(Fₓ² + Fy²)

where,

F = Magnitude of the Vector = ?

Fₓ = magnitude of the x-component of vector = 8.7 units

Fy = magnitude of y component of vector = - 6.5 units

Therefore, using these values in the equation, we get:

F = √[(8.7 units)² + (- 6.5 units)²]

F = √(117.94 units²)

<u>F = 10.86 units</u>

What are saturated and non saturated vapour? ​
Elodia [21]

Answer:

A saturated vapour is one that is in balance with its own liquid. Space is considered to be unsaturated if it contains fewer vapours than the maximum amount it can retain at a given temperature. Saturated vapour pressure is unaffected by volume, although it rises as temperature rises.
