The correct answer is
<span>c) very small and very large

Let's see this with a few examples:
1) if we have a very small number, such as
</span>0.0000000001
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using the scientific notation:
</span>1\cdot 10^{-10}
<span>2) Similarly, if we have a very large number:
</span>10000000000
<span>we see that we can write it easily by using again the scientific notation:
</span>1 \cdot 10^{10}<span>
</span>

A pair of narrow slits, separated by 1.8 mm, is illuminated by a monochromatic light source. Light waves arrive at the two slits
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

750 nm

Explanation:

d  = separation of the slits = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

λ = wavelength of monochromatic light

D  = screen distance = 4.8 m

y = position of first bright fringe = \frac{1cm}{5 fringe} = \frac{0.01}{5} = 0.002 m

n  = order = 1

Position of first bright fringe is given as

y = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}

0.002 = \frac{(1)(4.8)\lambda }{0.0018}

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 750 nm

[I researched for you, since I am not in that particular level to know that knowledge yet. I assure this is accurate info :)]

The answer is A, red.
"Remember, the color you see is light REFLECTING off the surface of that object. If all colors are absorbed in to the surface EXCEPT red, red must be reflected, and you'll see red." - Yahoo User @Chap

The British attempted to break the land-speed record and the sound barrier using a jet-powered car. They made their attempt in t
jolli1 [7]

Your answer is B.

The relationship between medium temperature and speed of sound is a direct relationship: when one factor increases, the other increases as is shown in graph B. The British would choose the the time of day which would give the lowest speed of sound, because this would be easiest to break. Graph B shows that the lowest speed of sound would occur with the lowest air temperature - in the morning.
