Answer: Neither salt or water are magnetized.

Explanation: The best way to separate salt and water is to boil the mixture. If you wanted to use a magnet you would need something magnetized, like iron fillings.

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.048 mm apart. successive fringes on a screen 5.00 m away are 6.5 cm apart n

atroni [7]

In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is
$y= \frac{m \lambda D}{d}$
where D=5.00 m is the distance of the screen from the slits, and
$d=0.048 mm=0.048 \cdot 10^{-3}m$ is the distance between the two slits.
The fringes on the screen are 6.5 cm=0.065 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y=0.065 m from the center of the pattern.
Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:
$\lambda = \frac{yd}{mD}= \frac{(0.065 m)(0.048 \cdot 10^{-3}m)}{(1)(5.00 m)}= 6.24 \cdot 10^{-7}m$

And from the relationship between frequency and wavelength, $c=\lambda f$ , we can find the frequency of the light:
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.24 \cdot 10^{-7}m}=4.81 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

A certain metal wire has a cross sectional area of 1 mm2 and is 1 m long. when it is hung from the ceiling and a 10 kg mass is h

kvasek [131]

From the Hooke's law , the extension force of an elastic material is directly proportional to the extension.
That is, F = k e, where F is the force , k is the constant and e is the extension
F = 10 × 10 = 100 N
e = 1mm or 0.001 m
Hence, k = F/e
= 100 N/ 0.001
= 100000 N/m or 100 N/mm

A circular plate of 500-mm diameter is maintained at T1 = 600 K and is positioned coaxial to a conical shape. The back side of t

drek231 [11]

For part a)
Since the conical surface is not exposed to the radiation coming from the walls only from the circular plate and assuming steady state, the temperature of the conical surface is also equal to the temperature of the circular plate. T2 = 600 K

For part b)
To maintain the temperature of the circular plate, the power required would be calculated using:
Q = Aσ(T₁⁴ - Tw⁴)
Q = π(500x10^-3)²/4 (5.67x10^-8)(600⁴ - 300⁴)
Q = 5410.65 W
