For a demonstration, a professor uses a razor blade to cut a thin slit in a piece of aluminum foil. When she shines a laser poin

ter (λ=680nm) through the slit onto a screen 5.5 m away, a diffraction pattern appears. The bright band in the center of the pattern is 8.0 cm wide. What is the width of the slit?

Answer:

width of slit(a)≅ 0.1mm

Explanation:

Wave length of laser pointer =λ = 685 nm

Distance between screen and slit = L = 5.5 m

Width of bright band = W=8.0cm=0.08m

width of slit=a

recall the formula;

W=(2λL)/a

a=2λL/W

a=(2 *685*10⁻⁹*5.5m)/0.08m

a=7535*10⁻⁹/0.08

a=94187.5 *10⁻⁹

a=0.0000941875m

a=0.0941875mm

a≅0.1mm

Answer:

The wide of silt is a=93.5×10⁻⁶m

Explanation:

Given data

Wavelength λ=680 nm

Length L=5.5 m

Width w=8.0 cm

To find

Width of slit a

Solution

A single slit of width a has a bright central maximum of width

ω=2λL/a

a=2λL/ω

Substitute the given values

a=\frac{2*(680*10^{-9}m)5.5m}{0.08m} \\a=93.5*10^{-6}m

The wide of silt is a=93.5×10⁻⁶m

Three identical 6.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up
Westkost [7]

Answer:

24 N

Explanation:

m = mass of the cube = 6.0 kg

Consider the three cubes together as one.

M = mass of the three cubes together = 3 m = 3 (6.0) = 18 kg

a = acceleration of the combination = 2 ms⁻²

F = Force applied on the combination

Using Newton's second law

F = ma = (18) (2) = 36 N

F_{L} = Force by the left cube on the middle cube

Consider the forces acting on left cube, from the force diagram, we have

F - F_{L} = ma \\36 - F_{L} = (6) (2)\\F_{L} = 24 N

Molecular motion is a measure of the movement of the molecules in a substance. Molecular motion is substantially different betwe
scZoUnD [109]
<span>Generally speaking, the level of molecular motion is highest in gases, where molecules move around freely in space, bouncing off of each other, and lowest in solids, where molecules are bound together in a rigid structure. As such, the answer would be A; "the molecules in air move more than the molecules in wood".</span>

Why does a box on the seat of a car slide around on the c one the car speeds up slows down or turns a corner?
Feliz [49]
Because the box keeps going straight at the same speed, while the seat under it speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

Determine which law is appropriate for solving the following problem.
Nostrana [21]

Charles Law

Explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the original volume of the gas is 250 ml at 300 K temperature and 1 atmosphere pressure. We need to find the volume of the same gas when the temperature is 350 K and 1 atmosphere pressure.

Step 2:

We observe that the gas pressure is the same in both the cases while the temperature is different. So we need a law that explains the volume change of a gas when temperature is changed, without any change to the pressure.

Step 3:

Charles law provides the relationship between the gas volume and temperature, at a given pressure

Step 4:

Hence we conclude that Charles law can be used.
