Answer:

0.15m

Explanation:

Given the following :

angular diameter = 22 arc seconds

Distance = 1400 m

The linear diameter(D) could be calculated using the small angle formular :

Where ;

D = (angular size × distance) / 1 radian

Note :

1 radian = 360°/2pi = 360/(2 × 3.14) = 57.296°

1° = 3600 arc seconds

57.296° × 3600 = 206265.6

Therefore,

D = (22 × 1400) / 206,265.6

D = 30800 / 206,265.6

D = 0.1493220

How can the distance between the first bright band and the central band be increased in a double-slit experiment?

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Decrease the slit separation, increase the distance of the screen from the slits, and increase the wavelength.

Explanation:

The distance $y$ from the central band to the first bright band is given by

$y = \dfrac{ \lambda D}{d}$

where $\lambda$ is the wavelength of light (or any particle), $D$ is the distance to the screen, and $d$ is the slit separation.

From this equation we see that, by increasing the wavelength $\lambda$ , increasing the distance from the screen $D$ , and decreasing the slit separation $d$ , we increase the distance between the first bright band and the central band.

Therefore, the 2nd choice "<em>Decrease the slit separation, increase the distance of the screen from the slits, and increase the wavelength.</em>" is correct.

A hollow conducting sphere with an outer radius of 0.295 m and an inner radius of 0.200 m has a uniform surface charge density o

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

a. $6.032\times10^{-6}C/m^2$

b. $6.816\times10^5N/C$

Explanation:

#Apply surface charge density, electric field, and Gauss law to solve:

a. Surface charge density is defined as charge per area denoted as $\sigma$

$\sigma=\frac{Q}{4\pi r_{out}^2}$ , and the strength of the electric field outside the sphere $E=\frac{\sigma _{new}}{\epsilon _o}$

Using Gauss Law, total electric flux out of a closed surface is equal to the total charge enclosed divided by the permittivity.

$\phi=\frac{Q_{enclosed}}{\epsilon_o}\\\\\sigma=\frac{Q}{4\pi r_{out}^2}\\\\\sigma=\frac{0.370\times 10^{-6}}{4\pi \times (0.295m)^2}\\\\=3.383\times10^{-7}C/m^2$ #surface charge outside sphere.

$\sigma_{new}=\sigma_{s}-\sigma\\\\\sigma_{new}=6.37\times10^{-6}C/m^2-3.383\times10^{-7}C/m^2\\\\\sigma_{new}=6.032\times10^{-6}C/m^2$

Hence, the new charge density on the outside of the sphere is $6.032\times10^{-6}C/m^2$

b. The strength of the electric field just outside the sphere is calculated as:

From a above, we know the new surface charge to be $6.032\times10^{-6}C/m^2$ ,

$E=\frac{\sigma _{new}}{\epsilon _o}\\\\=\frac{6.032\times10^{-6}C/m^2}{\epsilon _o}\\\\\epsilon _o=8.85\times10^{-12}C^2/N.m^2\\\\E=\frac{6.032\times10^{-6}C/m^2}{8.85\times10^{-12}C^2/N.m^2}\\\\E=6.816\times10^5N/C$

Hence, the strength of the electric field just outside the sphere is $6.816\times10^5N/C$
