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.

A model rocket is launched straight upward with an initial speed of 50.0 m/s. It accelerates with a constant upward acceleration
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

a)5m b)5secs c) 10secs

Explanation:

a) maximum height H = u²/2g

Given u = 50m/s

g = 10m/s²

H = 10²/20

H= 5m

maximum height reached by the rocket is therefore 5m

.b)Time it takes the rocket to reach its maximum height is Tmax = U/g

Tmax = 50/10

Tmax = 5seconds

c) How long the rocket spent in the air is the time of flight T

T = 2U/g

T = 2×50/10

T = 100/10

T = 10seconds

This time, William Tell is shooting at an apple that hangs on a tree (Fig. 3.32). The apple is a horizontal distance of 20.0 m
mart [117]

Answer:

The initial arrow's velocity is 40,9 m/s at 11.9° from the horizontal

Explanation:

<em>In order to find the inital velocity we need to determine its components and the angle that the arrow is launched at.</em>

<em>For horizontal component, we will have:</em>

<em>ν cos(θ)t = x ⇒ cos(θ) =  x/νt</em>

<em>For vertical component we will have:</em>

<em>h= v sin(θ)t ₋ gt²÷ 2 ⇒ sin (θ) = h + gt²÷2/νt</em>

<em>From the two equations we got, after noting that the vertical displacement is 3m, we can calculate </em>

<em>tan(θ) = h +gt²÷2/νt/ x÷νt = h+ gt²÷2/x = 3+ 9.8.0.5²÷2/20 = 0.21125</em>

<em>Now we can calculate θ = tan⁻¹(0.21125) ≈ 11.9°</em>

<em>Now that we know the angle we can subtitute at any of the expressions for the two components of the velocity . Let's do this subsitution at the horizontal component:</em>

<em>ν cos(θ)t= x =ν = x/tcos(θ)= 20/ 0.5cos(11.9) ≈ 40.9 m/s.</em>

An aluminum cylinder with a radius of 2.7 cm and a height of 67 cm is used as one leg of a workbench. The workbench pushes down
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

1.9\times 10^{-4}

1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m

Explanation:

r = Radius = 2.7 cm

F = Force = 3.2\times 10^4\ N

A = Area = \pi r^2

\sigma = Stress = \frac{F}{A}

E = Young's modulus = 7\times 10^{10}\ Pa

\epsilon = Strain

L_0 = Original length = 67 cm

\Delta L = Change in length

Young's modulus is given by

E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\sigma}{E}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=\frac{\frac{3.2\times 10^4}{\pi 0.027^2}}{7\times 10^{10}}\\\Rightarrow \epsilon=0.0001996=1.9\times 10^{-4}

Strain is 1.9\times 10^{-4}

Strain is given by

\epsilon=\frac{\Delta L}{L_0}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\epsilon\times L_0\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.9\times 10^{-4}\times 0.67\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.0001273\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m

The cylinder height decreases by 1.2\times 10^{-4}\ m

Experiment 1: A study is done to determine which of two fuel mixtures allows a rocket to travel farther over a period of time. R
leva [86]

Answer: D

Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.

This is the answer to the question because:

  • Both experiments do have a confounding variable.
  • Experiment 1 doesn't have to stay constant.
  • A double-blind experiment will not do anything to the placebo.
  • High blood pressure people will not make the results confusing.

The answer has to be the option D. Hope this helps you!
