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°

A boat produced water waves of frequency 4 Hz and wavelength 2m, if it reached the shore after 2 seconds how far is the boat fro
kap26 [50]

Answer:

S = 16 m

Explanation:

Given that

The frequency of the water waves, f = 4 Hz

The wavelength of the water waves, λ = 2 m

The time the waves reached the shore, t = 2 s

The relation between the velocity, wavelength, and the frequency of the wave is given by the relation,

                                           v = f λ    m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

                                           v = 4 x 2

                                              = 8 m/s

The velocity of the water waves is v = 8 m/s

The distance between the shore and boat is given by

                                            s = v x t

                                               = 8 x 2

                                               = 16 m

Hence, the distance between the boat and the shore is, s = 16 m

If two objects at different temperatures are in contact with each other, what happens to their temperatures?
miv72 [106K]

In that case, heat energy flows from the warmer object to the cooler one. 
As heat flows from one to the other, the temperature of the warmer object
falls, and the temperature of the cooler object rises. When the temperatures
are equal, the flow of heat energy from one to the other stops.
