Answer:

10.32874 m

Explanation:

P_a = Atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height of water

\rho = Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

If the walls of the tube do not collapse that means that maximum pressure inside will be the atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure is given by

P_a=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{P_a}{\rho g}\\\Rightarrow h=\dfrac{101325}{1000\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=10.32874\ m

The maximum height to which Superman can lift the water is 10.32874 m

On the Moon there is no atmosphere so no atmospheric pressure which means when the straw is placed in water water will not rise in the tube.

There are 5510 lines per centimeter in a grating that is used with light whose wavelegth is 467 nm. A flat observation screen is
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

1.696 nm

Explanation:

For a diffraction grating, dsinθ = mλ where d = number of lines per metre of grating = 5510 lines per cm = 551000 lines per metre and λ = wavelength of light = 467 nm = 467 × 10⁻⁹ m. For a principal maximum, m = 1. So,

dsinθ = mλ = (1)λ = λ

dsinθ = λ

sinθ = λ/d.

Also tanθ = w/D where w = distance of center of screen to principal maximum and D = distance of grating to screen = 1.03 m

From trig ratios 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ

1 + (1/tan²θ) = 1/(sin²θ)

substituting the values of sinθ and tanθ we have

1 + (D/w)² = (d/λ)²

(D/w)² = (d/λ)² - 1

(w/D)² = 1/[(d/λ)² - 1]

(w/D) = 1/√[(d/λ)² - 1]

w = D/√[(d/λ)² - 1] = 1.03 m/√[(551000/467 × 10⁻⁹ )² - 1] = 1.03 m/√[(1179.87 × 10⁹ )² - 1] = 1.03 m/1179.87 × 10⁹  = 0.000848 × 10⁻⁹ = 0.848 × 10⁻¹² m = 0.848 nm.

w is also the distance from the center to the other principal maximum on the other side.

So for both principal maxima to be on the screen, its minimum width must be 2w = 2 × 0.848 nm = 1.696 nm

So, the minimum width of the screen must be 1.696 nm

The angle between incident ray and reflected ray is 80 degrees. What is the value of angle of incidence?
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The angle of incident ray is 40°.

Explanation:

Given that the angle of incident and reflected ray are the same. In this question, we had given that both angles added up will gives you 80° so you have to divide it by 2 :

incident + reflected = 80°

Let incident = reflected = θ

θ + θ = 80°

2θ = 80°

θ = 80° ÷ 2

= 40°
