Answer:

Explanation:

The double slit interference phonemene is described for the case of constructive interference

          d sin θ= m λ                   (1)

let's use trigonometry to find the sinus

        tan θ = y / L

in general in interference phenomena the angles are small

       tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

 

The double slit interference phonemene is described for the case of constructive interference

          d sin θ = m lam                    (1)

let's use trigonometry to find the sinus

        tan θ = y / L

in general in interference phenomena the angles are small

       tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

we substitute

      sin θ = y / L

we substitute in equation 1

         d y / L = m λ

         λ = dy / L m

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

  d = 0.44 mm = 0.44 10⁻³ m

  y = 5.5 mm = 5.5 10⁻³ m

  L = 4.2m

  m = 1

let's calculate

        λ = 0.44  10⁻³ 5.5 10⁻³ / (4.2 1)

         

        λ = 5.76190 10-7 m

let's reduce to num

  lam = 5.56190 10-7 m (109 nm / 1m)

  lam = 556,190 nmtea

we substitute

      without tea = y / L

we substitute in equation 1

         d y / L = m lam

         lam = dy / L m

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

  d = 0.44 me = 0.44 10-3 m

  y = 5.5 mm = 5.5 10-3

  L = 4.2m

  m = 1

let's calculate

        lam = 0.44 10⁻³  5.5 10⁻³ / (4.2 1)

         

        lam = 5.76190 10⁻⁷ m

let's reduce to num

  lam = 5.56190 10⁻⁷ m (109 nm / 1m)

  lam = 556,190 nm

10. Hamilton How long does it take Lewis travelling at 156 m.p.h to cover 16 miles?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Hello!

Lewis is travelling at 165 mph, which means miles per hour, this says that he does 165 miles in one hour.

We want to know how much time takes to cover 16 miles.

this can be calculated as the quotient of the distance and the velocity; this is:

t = \frac{16 mi}{165 mi/h} = 0.096 h

if we want to write this in minutes, then:

we know that one hour has 60 minutes, then 0.096 hours has:

0.096h*60mins/1h = 5.8 minutes.

then Lewis needs 5.8 minutes in order to cover 16 miles if his speed is 156 miles per hour.

sveta [45]

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.
