Answer:

θ = 28.9°

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength; λ = 602nm = 602 x 10^(-9) m

Lines per centimetre = 7000 /cm = 700000 /m

Thus, the distance between 2 adjacent lines is;

d = 1/700000 = 1.43 x 10^(-6) m

The angle at which diffracted light is formed is given by the formula

mλ = d sinθ

Where;

m is the mth order of the diffraction

λ is the wavelength of the incident light

d is the distance separating the centres of 2 adjacent slits

θ is the angle at which diffraction occurs

From the question, m is 1 because it says first order.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values into mλ = d sinθ, we have;

1 x 602 x 10^(-9) = 1.43 x 10^(-6) sinθ

sinθ = 602 x 10^(-9)/(1.43 x 10^(-6))

sinθ = 0.42098

θ = sin^(-1) 0.42098

θ = 28.9°

Answer:

They are caused by outward fluctuations of the sun's magnetic field.

They tend to occur during active periods of the solar cycle.

Explanation:

While sun spots will appear darker than the surrounding surface, flares will tend to appear brighter. CME's are associated with massive flares.

Who could explain the phenomenom of interference of light?​
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

When the waves reflected from the inner and outer surface combine they will interfere with each other, removing or reinforcing some parts of white light by destructive or constructive interference. ... This results in color.

Explanation:

this is what we studied

so basically  there is like a surface

and 2 different waves coming out of the same source

they will combine and start removing parts of the white light (which originally consists of 6 to 7 colors)

results in showing these colors

A neutral atom contains 8 protons 9 neutrons, and 8 electrons the atom must be A. A oxygen isotope. B. A nitrogen isotope. C. A
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

A an Oxygen isotope

Explanation:

The number of protons is the Same as the atomic number

The atomic number is 9 is the atom has 9 protons

Thus, the atom is an oxygen isotope

What is the total surface charge qint on the interior surface of the conductor (i.e., on the wall of the cavity)
RSB [31]

Answer: hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part

A spherical cavity is hollowed out of the interior of a neutral conducting sphere. At the center of the cavity is a point charge, of positive charge q.

answer:

- q

Explanation:

Since the spherical cavity was carved out of a neutral conducting sphere hence the electric field inside this conductor = zero

given that there is a point charge +q at the center of the spherical cavity hence for the electric field inside the conductor to be = zero the total surface charge qint on the wall of the cavity will be -q
