A scientist directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 580 nm and the

slit is 0.215 mm wide. The light that passes through the slit creates a diffraction pattern on a screen, which is 1.80 m from the slit. (a) How wide (in mm) is the central maximum (the central, bright fringe), as measured on the screen? ______ mm
(b) How wide (in mm) is either of the two first-order bright fringes, as measured on the screen? ______ mm

Answer:

a) 9.72 mm

b) 4.86 mm

Explanation:

wave length of light  λ is  580 nm = 580 \times 10⁻⁹ m

Width of slit d = 0.215\times 10⁻³ m

Distance of screen D  = 1.8 m.

Width of one fringe = \frac{\lambda\times D}{d}

Putting the values we get fringe width

= \frac{580\times10^{-9}\times1.8}{.000315}

=4.86 mm.

a) Width of central maxima = 2 times width of one fringe

= 2 times 4.86

=9.72 mm

b) width of each fringe except central fringe  is same , no matter what the order is.Only brightness changes .

So width of either of the two first order bright fringe will be same and it will be  

= 4.86 mm.

The energy delivered to the resistive coil is dissipated as heat at a rate equal to the power input of the circuit. However, not
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

P(bat) = V²r/(R+r)²

Explanation:

Let the resistance of the coil be R

Internal resistance of the battery be r

Emf of the battery = V

Power dissipated in the internal resistance of the battery is normally given as P = I²r

where I is the current flowing in the circuit.

From Ohm's law,

V = I R(eq)

R(eq) = (R + r)

I = V/(R+r)

P = I²r

P = [V/(R+r)]²r

P = V²r/(R+r)²

Hope this Helps!!!

Big Ben, a large artifact in England, has a mass of 1x10^8 kilograms and the Empire State Building 1x10^9 kilograms. The distanc
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The force, exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building is 2.66972 × 10⁻⁷ N

Explanation:

The question relates to the force of gravity experienced between two bodies

The given parameters are;

The mass of Big Ben, M₁ = 1 × 10⁸ kg

The mass of the Empire State Building, M₂ = 1 × 10⁹ kg

The distance between the two Big Ben and the Empire State Building, r = 5,000,000 meters

By Newton's Law of gravitation, we have;

F=G \times \dfrac{M_{1} \times M_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where;

F = The force exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building and vice versa

G = The universal gravitational constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

M₁, M₂, and r are the given parameters

By plugging in the values of the parameters and the constant into the equation for Newton's Law of gravitation, we have;

F=6.67430 \times 10^{-11} \times \dfrac{1 \times 10^8 \times 1 \times 10^9}{(5,000,000)^{2}} = 2.66972 \times 10^{-7}

The force, 'F', exerted by Big Ben on the Empire State Building is F = 2.66972 × 10⁻⁷ N.

Which items do NOT describe possible solutions to air pollution?
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

2, 6

Explanation:

2 because if you cut down more trees you will have less items to help collect co2

6 because if you have more manufracturing more gasses will be release and moe carbon dioxcide in the air so it will slowly kill the ozone layer.
