Technological advances clearly.

Theories change due to other peoples view on the matter and how they experiment with it, but Technology advancements are the greatest factor of all. I mean seriously, we wouldn't know of cells before the microscope and when they first invented it, it advanced further and now we can see things on a whole deeper lever.

Suppose we have a laser emitting a diffraction-limited beam (=632 nm) with a 2-mm diameter. How big a light spot from this lase
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

λ = wave length = 632 x 10⁻⁹

slit width a = 2 x 10⁻³ m

angular separation of central maxima

= 2 x λ /a

= 2 x 632 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 632 x 10⁻⁶ rad

width in m of light spot.

= 632 x 10⁻⁶  x 376000 km

= 237.632 km

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.

<h3>What is the average speed of the train?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Distance traveled = 221miles
  • Elapsed time = 3 hours and 40 minutes

First we convert miles to meters and Hours minutes to seconds.

221 miles = ( 221 × 1609.344 )m = 355665.024 meters

3 hours and 40 minutes = ( 3×60×60)s + ( 40×60)s

= 10800s + 2400s

= 13200s

Now, determine the average speed.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Speed = 355665.024m / 13200s

Speed = 26.944m/s

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.

Part A (4 pts) Consider light of wavelength λ = 670nm traveling in air. The light is incident at normal incidence upon a thin fi
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Explanation:

On both sides of the film , the mediums have lower refractive index.

for interfering pattern from above , for constructive interference of reflected wave from both sides of the film , the condition is

2μt = ( 2n +1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of film ,t is thickness of film λ is wavelength of light

n is order of fringe

for minimum thickness

n = 0

2μt =  λ / 2

t =  λ / 4μ

= 670 / 1.75 x 4

= 95.71 nm .

3. A train covers 168 km in 4 hours. How much distance will it cover in 80<br> minutes?
Kay [80]

Answer:

56km

Explanation:

168 ÷ 240 = 0.7

0.7 × 80 = 56km

240 is the amount of minutes in 4 hours.

We divided 168 by 240 to get the distance covered in 1 minute. Afterwards, we needed 80 minutes so we multiplied the answer by 80.

A motorist travels at 270 km in p hours at a certain average speed. an expression for the distance that this motorist travelled
wel
Average speed = total distance / time ⇒ total distance = average speed *  time

Average speed = 270 km / p hours
distance = d
hours = x

d = 270/p * x
