Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.

KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs

Falling raindrops frequently develop electric charges. Does this create noticeable forces between the droplets? Suppose two 1.8

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) $F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N$

b) $a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of raindrops, $m=1.8\times 10^{-6}\ kg$

charge on the raindrops, $q=+21\times 10^{-12}\ C$

horizontal distance between the raindrops, $r=0.0044\ m$

From the Coulomb's Law the force between the charges is given as:

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} .\frac{q_1.q_2}{r^2}$

we have:

$\epsilon_0=8.854\times 10^{-12}\ C^2.N^{-1}.m^{-2}$

Now force:

$F=\frac{1}{4\pi\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}} .\frac{21\times 10^{-12}\times 21\times 10^{-12}}{0.0044^2}$

$F=2.048\times 10^{-7}\ N$

Now the acceleration on the raindrops due to the electrostatic force:

$a=\frac{F}{m}$

$a=\frac{2.048\times 10^{-7}}{1.8\times 10^{-6}}$

$a=0.1138\ m.s^{-2}$

The direction of an electric field is the direction (5 points)

vlabodo [156]

The direction of an electric field is determined from the behavior of a positive test charge that is set free in the electric field.This charge moves along a distinct vector showing the direction of the electric field Therefore the answer is b. a positive charge will move in the field.

Why does the moon exert a greater tidal influence than the sun?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Well, I'm not sure right now that it actually does.

But if it does, that's because the sun is about 400 times
FARTHER from the Earth than the moon is.
