Answer:

<em>The fringe spacing on a distant diffraction screen will increase.</em>

Explanation:

Blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light, so, changing from blue to red light is basically increasing the wavelength of the light involved in the experiment.

In the double slit experiment, the fringe spacing on a diffraction screen is calculated from the equation below

ω = zλ/d

where ω is the fringe spacing

z is the distance of the slit to the screen

λ is the wavelength of the light used

d is separation or distance between the slits

From the equation, one can see that if other parameters are held constant, <em>increasing the wavelength will lead to an increase in the spacing between the fringes, and hence, changing the light from blue to red light will increase the fringe spacing.</em>

Addition of a metal slab of thickness "a" between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor of plate separation "d" is equivalent
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

K =  \frac{d}{d+a}

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor in terms of the dielectric constant, area of the plate and the distance separating the plate is given by:

C = \frac{\epsilon A}{d}

Where A = Area of the plate

d = distance between the plates

\epsilon = dielectric constant

Case 1:

When a meta slab of thickness, a, is added between the plates of the parallel plate capacitor , the effective separation between the plates becomes d+a

Therefore the capacitance of the capacitor becomes:

  C = \frac{\epsilon A}{d + a} .......................(1)

Case 2:

Introducing a dielectric with dielectric constant K between the plates, the capacitance of the capacitor becomes:

C = \frac{K\epsilon A}{d}.........................(2)

Equating (1) and (2)

\frac{K\epsilon A}{d} = \frac{\epsilon A}{d+a}\\\frac{K}{d} = \frac{1}{d+a} \\K = \frac{d}{d+a}

A rocket moves upward, starting from rest with an acceleration of 25.4 m/s^2 for 3.39 s. It runs out of fuel at the end of the 3
kolbaska11 [484]

Explanation:

Initial speed of the rocket, u = 0

Acceleration of the rocket, a=25.4\ m/s^2

Time taken, t = 3.39 s

Let v is the final velocity of the rocket when it runs out of fuels. Using the equation of kinematics as :

v=u+at

v=25.4\times 3.39=86.10\ m/s    

Let x is the initial position of the rocket. Using third equation of kinematics as :

v^2=u^2+2ax_o

x_o=\dfrac{v^2}{2a}

x_o=\dfrac{86.10^2}{2\times 25.4}=145.92\ m  

Let x_o is the position at the maximum height. Again using equation of motion as :

v^2-u^2=2a(x-x_o)

Now a=-g and v and u will interchange

u^2=2g(x-x_o)

x=x_o+\dfrac{u^2}{2g}

x=145.92+\dfrac{(86.10)^2}{2\times 9.8}

x = 524.14 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.
