Which theory does Young's double slit experiment illustrate?

Physics
1 answer:
sveta [45]2 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.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. The exact conservation laws include conservation of energy, and conservation of linear momentum, and also conservation of angular momentum, aswell as the conservation of electric charge

Physics Question: Determine the work that is being done by tension in pulling the box 193.0 cm along the table. Also determine t
lozanna [386]

1) The work done by tension is 12.0 J

2) The final speed of the box is 1.57 m/s

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

For the box in this problem, we have:

F = 6.2 N is the force applied (the tension in the string)

d = 193.0 cm = 1.93 m is the displacement

\theta=0 assuming that the string is horizontal

Substituting, we find the work done by the tension:

W=(6.2)(1.93)(cos 0)=12.0 J

2)

In order to determine the final speed of the box, we need to determine its acceleration first.

Beside the tension, acting forward, the other force acting horizontally on the box is the force of friction, whose magnitude is

F_f = \mu mg

where

\mu=0.16 is the coefficient of friction

m = 2.8 kg is the mass of the box

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Substituting,

F_f = (0.16)(2.8)(9.8)=4.4 N

Therefore, the net force on the box is

F=6.2  N - 4.4 N = 1.8 N

And the acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law:

F=ma

where

F = 1.8 N is the net force

m = 2.8 kg is the mass of the box

a is the acceleration

Solving for a,

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{1.8}{2.8}=0.64 m/s^2

Now we can finally find the final speed using the suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final speed

u = 0 is the initial speed

a=0.64 m/s^2 is the acceleration

s = 1.93 m is the displacement

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(0.64)(1.93)}=1.57 m/s

How much power does a toaster have if it does 21,000 joules of work in 30 seconds?
marysya [2.9K]

Power  =  (work done)  /  (time to do the work)

           =  (21,000 Joules)  /  (30 seconds)

           =   (21,000 / 30)  joule/sec

           =      700   watts
