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.

If a board with an area of 3m2 has a 12 N force exerted on it, what is the pressure on the board?
Cerrena [4.2K]
4 N/cm^2 is the answer. the way you get this is the formula for pressure is P=F/A. So you would plug in the numbers which would make the equation P=12/3 which you know equals 4. The units for pressure is N/cm^2 or N/m^2

The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted. Because of this, the amount of sunlight an area on the planet receives each day varies
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: The Northern Hemisphere experiences the start of <u>summer</u>

Explanation:

Due to this tilt in Earth's axis of rotation, some regions receive different amounts of sunlight according to the seasons of the year. These variations are more evident near the poles and softer or imperceptible near the equator. This explains the fact that while in the northern hemisphere it is summer and there are high temperatures (because the Sunlight incides more perpendicularly in this area during this season), in the southern hemisphere it is winter and very low temperatures are recorded, and vice versa.  

In this sense, according to the image the Earth is at the point of its orbit in which, due to the inclination of its axis, the North Pole is closer to the Sun.  

In other words, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and this astronomical phenomenon brings the summer season for the Northern Hemisphere.

A plane has a mass of 360,000 kg takes-off at a speed of 300 km/hr. i) What should be the minimum acceleration to take off if th
melomori [17]

Answer:

i) the minimum acceleration to take off is 22500 km/h²

ii) the required time needed by the plane from starting to takeoff is 0.0133 hrs

iii) required force that the engine must exert to attain acceleration is 625 kN

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of plane m = 360,000 kg

take of speed v = 300 km/hr = 83.33 m/s

i)

What should be the minimum acceleration to take off if the length of the runway is 2.00 km

from Newton's equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we know that a plane starts from rest, so; u = 0

given that distance S = 2 km

we substitute

(300)² = 0² + ( 2 × a × 2 )

90000 = 4 × a

a = 90000 / 4

a = 22500 km/h²

Therefore,  the minimum acceleration to take off is 22500 km/h²

ii) At this acceleration, how much time would the plane need from starting to takeoff.

from Newton's equation of motion;

v = u + at

we substitute

300 = 0 + 22500 × t

t = 300 / 22500

t = 0.0133 hrs

Therefore, the required time needed by the plane from starting to takeoff is 0.0133 hrs

iii) What force must the engines exert to attain this acceleration

we know that;

F = ma

acceleration a = 22500 km/hr² = 1.736 m/s²

so we substitute

F = 360,000 kg × 1.736 m/s²

F =  624960 N

F = 625 kN

Therefore, required force that the engine must exert to attain acceleration is 625 kN
