Answer:
a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
, b) the number of decks is 5
Explanation:
a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated
x = d / 52
x = 0.590 / 52
x = 0.011346 in
Let's look for uncertainty
Δx = dx /dd Δd
Δx = 1/52 Δd
Δx = 1/52 0.005
Δx = 0.0001 in
The result of the calculation is
x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is
#_cards = n 52
The formula for thickness is
x = d / n 52
Uncertainty
Δx = 1 / n 52 Δd
n = 1/52 Δd / Δx
n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002
n = 4.8
Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5
Answer:
0.000003782 m
0.000001891 m
0.000001197125 m
Explanation:
= Wavelength = 248 nm
D = Diameter of beam = 1 cm
f = Focal length = 0.625 cm
The angle is given by
The width is given by
The required width is 0.000003782 m
Minimum resolvable line separation is given by
The minimum resolvable line separation between adjacent lines is 0.000001891 m
when 
The new minimum resolvable line separation between adjacent lines is
When you look at this, you might not be sure which way to divide ...
Should you divide 6 by 5 or 5 by 6 ?
Here's a case where you can use your units to decide.
The question wants to know the 'period'. That's a length of time,
so the answer needs to have units of time.
If you divide 'cycles' be 'time', you'll get 'cycles/second'.
That's Hz. It's frequency, not time.
If you divide 'time' by 'cycles', you'll get 'seconds/cycle'.
That's time, and it's exactly the definition of 'period'.
Period = (6 seconds) / (5 cycles)
= (6 / 5) seconds/cycle
= 1.2 seconds
Answer:
Ultraviolet wave
Explanation:
Ultraviolet waves would be best used to sterilize a surface expose to bacteria because it will completely destroy them.
Most medical equipment are usually sanitized by using this rays because the DNA of most bacteria can be innervated upon exposure to these ray.
Ultraviolet rays are energetic and more powerful than the normal visible light and subsequent long wavelength radiations.
Generally, ultraviolet rays is a very harmful electromagnetic radiation.
Answer:
A. velocity and wavelength
Explanation:
- When a wave travels from one medium to another it undergoes a change in direction and this is referred to as refraction.
- Refraction is the bending of a wave or a change in direction of a wave as it travels from one medium to another. Refraction is accompanied by change in velocity and wavelength of a wave.
- Velocity of a wave is proportional to the wavelength of the wave therefore, if the velocity of a wave changes the the wavelength will also change proportionally to the velocity.
