Which theory does Young's double slit experiment illustrate?

Physics
1 answer:
sveta [45]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: C. The dual nature of light

Explanation:

Young’s double slit experiment showed the dual behaviour of light (and matter) as a wave and as a particle.

Although currently it is known that light behaves as a wave and as a particle. It should be noted that many years ago it was thought light had only a corpuscular behaviour. In fact, the first to propose the corpuscular theory of light was Issac Newton, while Christian Huygens (who was contemporaneous with him) proposed the wave theory.

However, when Thomas Young performed  the double slit experiment with photons (light) the result was: Light is able to behave also as waves.

What is carnot engine.express the relation for its efficiency?​
patriot [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Carnot cycle is a special case of a thermodynamic cycle that produces an ideal gas and consists of two isothermal  processes and two adiabatic processes. This cycle is a theoretical solution given by Sadi Karnot to refine heat engines for their efficient use.

The formula for the coefficient of efficiency is:

η = (Q₁ - Q₂) / Q₁ = (T₁ - T₂) / T₁

Where Q₁ is is the amount of heat of the heater supplied to the working body and Q₂ is the amount of heat that the working body transfers to the refrigerator according to this T₁ is the temperature of the heater T₂ is the temperature of the refrigerator.

This formula provides a theoretical limit for the maximum value of the coefficient of efficiency of heat engines.

On a typical clear day, the atmospheric electric field points downward and has a magnitude of approximately 103 N/C. Compare the
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) FE = 0.764FG

b) a = 2.30 m/s^2

Explanation:

a) To compare the gravitational and electric force over the particle you calculate the following ratio:

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{qE}{mg}              (1)

FE: electric force

FG: gravitational force

q: charge of the particle = 1.6*10^-19 C

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

E: electric field = 103N/C

m: mass of the particle = 2.2*10^-15 g = 2.2*10^-18 kg

You replace the values of all parameters in the equation (1):

\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)}{(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}\\\\\frac{F_E}{F_G}=0.764

Then, the gravitational force is 0.764 times the electric force on the particle

b)

The acceleration of the particle is obtained by using the second Newton law:

F_E-F_G=ma\\\\a=\frac{qE-mg}{m}

you replace the values of all variables:

a=\frac{(1.6*10^{-19}C)(103N/C)-(2.2*10^{-18}kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{2.2*10^{-18}kg}\\\\a=-2.30\frac{m}{s^2}

hence, the acceleration of the particle is 2.30m/s^2, the minus sign means that the particle moves downward.
