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°

solmaris [256]
The type of reaction that occurred in the test tube is ACID BASE REACTION.
Acid base reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react together to form salt and water molecules. It is also known as neutralization reaction. For the question given above, the applicable chemical reaction is as follows:
HF + NaOH = NaF + H2O
 From this chemical reaction, it can be seen that, hydrogen fluoride, which is a weak acid react with sodium hydroxide which is a strong base to produce sodium fluoride, which is a salt and a molecule of water.

A ball has a diameter of 3.79 cm and average density of 0.0838 g/cm3.
suter [353]

Answer: 0.258 N

Explanation:

As the density of the object is much less than the density of water, it’s clear that the buoyant force, is greater than the weight of the object, which means that in normal conditions, it would float in water.

So, in order to get the ball submerged in water, we need to add a downward force, that add to the weight, in order to compensate the buoyant force, as follows:

F = Fb – Fg

Fb= δH20* 4/3*π*(d/2)³  * g

Fg = δb* 4/3*π*(d/2)³ *g

F= (δH20- δb) * 4/3*π*(d/2)³*g

Replacing by the values of the densities, and the ball diameter, we finally get:

F= 0.258 N

Luda [366]

Answer:

Force is repulsive hence direction of force is away from wire

Explanation:

The first thing will be to draw a figure showing the condition,

Lets takeI attractive force as +ve and repulsive force as - ve and thereafter calculating net force on outer left wire due to other wires, net force comes out to be - ve which tells us that force is repulsive, hence direction of force is away from wire as shown in figure in the attachment.
