Answer:

Longitudinal wave is a type of wave in which the the movement of the wave particle is parallel to the direction of the wave propagation. This simply means that the wave particles is in the same or opposite direction to the wave propagation.

B. Sound waves- These are longitudinal waves because its medium particles through which the sound is transported oscillates parallel to the direction of the movement of the sound wave.

Suppose light from a 632.8 nm helium-neon laser shines through a diffraction grating ruled at 520 lines/mm. How many bright line

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the position of the m-th order brigh line (constructive interference) produced by diffraction of light through a diffraction grating is:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

where

m is the order of the maximum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

D is the distance of the screen

d is the separation between two adjacent slit

Here we have:

$\lambda=632.8 nm = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the light

D = 1 m is the distance of the screen (not given in the problem, so we assume it to be 1 meter)

$n=520 lines/mm$ is the number of lines per mm, so the spacing between two lines is

$d=\frac{1}{n}=\frac{1}{520}=1.92\cdot 10^{-3} mm = 1.92\cdot 10^{-6} m$

Therefore, substituting m = 1, we find:

$y=\frac{(632.8\cdot 10^{-9})(1)}{1.92\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.330 m$

So, on the distant screen, there is 1 bright fringe every 33 cm.

Which is an example of a monthly fixed cost for a sandwich shop?

aivan3 [116]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The rent is an<span> example of a monthly fixed cost for a sandwich shop. It is a fixed cost since you are required to pay for it per month. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

A girl throws a pebble into a deep well at 4.0 m/s (downward). It hits the water in 2.0 s. How far below the ground is the water

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

27.6 m
13.8 m/s

Explanation:

(b) The initial velocity is added to that due to acceleration by gravity. The velocity is increased linearly by gravity at the rate of 9.8 m/s². The average velocity of the pebble will be its velocity halfway through the 2-second time period.* That is, it will be ...

4 m/s + (9.8 m/s²)(2 s)/2 = 13.8 m/s . . . . average velocity

(a) The distance covered in 2 seconds at an average velocity of 13.8 m/s is ...

d = vt

d = (13.8 m/s)(2 s) = 27.6 m

The water is about 27.6 m below ground.

_____

* We have chosen to make use of the fact that the velocity curve is linear, so the average velocity is half the sum of initial and final velocities:

vAvg = (vInit + vFinal)/2 = (vInit + (vInit +at))/2 = vInit +at/2

If you work this in a straightforward way, you would find distance as the integral of velocity, then find average velocity from the distance and time.

$\displaystyle d=\int_0^t{(v_0+at)}\,dt=v_0t+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=t\left(v_0+a\dfrac{t}{2}\right)\\\\v_{avg}=\dfrac{d}{t}=v_0+a\dfrac{t}{2}\qquad\text{the formula we started with}$
