Answer:

Increase in wavelength of incident wave also increases the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The diffraction occurs when light bends in the same medium. The bending is the result of light waves "squeezing" through small openings or "curving" around sharp edges.

- Moreover, waves diffract best when the size of the diffraction opening (or grting or groove) corresponds to the size of the wavelength. Hence, light diffracts more through small openings than through larger openings.

- The formula for diffraction shows a direct relationship between the angle of diffraction (theta) and wavelength:

                                         d sin (θ) = m λ

Where,

     λ : Wavelength , θ : The spread angle , d : Slit opening or grating

- We can see that the wavelength λ and spread angle θ are related proportionally. So if we increase the wavelength of incident wave we also increase the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Infrared, visible light, then ultraviolet. Infrared is light that the human eye can not see and visible light is clearly light we can see then ultraviolet is has such a high frequency we can't see it either.

how long does it take adrian to reach his destination if his displacement is 253 meters and he walks north with a velocity of 1.
klemol [59]
Velocity = displacement/time

1.6 = 253/t

t = 158.125

It takes them about 158 seconds

To view an interactive solution to a problem that is similar to this one, select Interactive Solution 7.24. A 0.0129-kg bullet i
ipn [44]

Answer:

t=0.42s

Explanation:

Here you have an inelastic collision. By the conservation of the momentum you have:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

m1: mass of the bullet

m2: wooden block mass

v1: velocity of the bullet

v2: velocity of the wooden block

v: velocity of bullet and wooden block after the collision.

By noticing that after the collision, both objects reach the same height from where the wooden block was dropped, you can assume that v is equal to the negative of v2. In other words:

m_1(-v_1)+m_2v_2=(m1+m2)(-v2)

Where you assumed that the negative direction is upward. By replacing and doing v2 the subject of the formula you get:

-(0.0129kg)(767m/s)+(1.17kg)v_2=(1.1829kg)(-v_2)\\\\v_2=4.20m/s

Now, with this information you can use the equation for the final speed of an accelerated motion and doing t the subject of the formula. IN other words:

v_2=v_o+gt\\\\t=\frac{v_2-v_o}{g}=\frac{4.2m/s-0m/s}{9.8m/s^2}=0.42s

hence, the time is t=0.42 s

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti
liq [111]

Answer:

The speed of water must be expelled at 6.06 m/s

Explanation:

Neglecting any drag effects of the surrounding water we can assume the linear momentum in this case is conserves, that is, the total initial momentum of the octopus and the water kept in it cavity should be equal to the total final linear momentum. That's known as conservation of momentum, mathematically expressed as:

p_f=p_i

with Pi the total initial momentum and Pf the final total momentum. The total momentum is the sum of the momentums of the individual objects, in our case the octopus and the mass of water that will be expelled:

p_{of}+p_{wf}=p_{oi}+p_{wi}

with Po the momentum of the octopus and Pw the momentum of expelled water. Linear momentum is defined as mass times velocity:

m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=m_o*v_{oi}+m_w*v_{wi}

Note that initially the octopus has the water in its cavity and both are at rest before it sees the predator so v_{oi}=v_{wi} = 0\frac{m}{s}:

m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=0

We should find the final velocity of water if the final velocity of the octopus is 2.70 m/s, solving for v_{wf}:

v_{wf}=-\frac{m_o*v_{of}}{m_w}=-\frac{(6.00-1.85)*(2.70)}{1.85}

v_{wf}=-6.06\frac{m}{s}

The minus sign indicates the velocity of the water is opposite the velocity of the octopus.

Answer:

Definitely Spinning permanent magnets within an array of fixed permanent magnets

Explanation:

Any relative motion between magnets (be they permanent or electromagnetic) and a coil of wire will induce an electric current in the coil.

What will not induce an electric current is the relative motion between the two coils of wire (because there is no change in magnetic field), or the relative motion between two magnets (there are no coils of wire to induce the current into).

<em>Therefore, spinning permanent magnets within an array of fixed permanent magnets does not induce an electric current.</em>
