Answer:

d = 0.247 mm

Explanation:

given,

λ = 633 nm

distance from the hole to the screen = L = 4 m

width of the central maximum = 2.5 cm

                                             2 y = 0.025 m

                                               y = 0.0125 m

For circular aperture

  sin \theta = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}

using small angle approximation

  \theta = \dfrac{y}{D}

now,

   \dfrac{y}{D} = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}

   y = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda\ D}{d}

   d = 1.22\dfrac{\lambda\ D}{y}

   d = 1.22\dfrac{633\times 10^{-9}\times 4}{0.0125}

         d =0.247 x 10⁻³ m

         d = 0.247 mm

the diameter of the hole is equal to 0.247 mm

An object is propelled along a straight-line path by a force. If the net force were doubled, the object's acceleration would be_
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

double

Explanation:

According to the newton's second law

force = mass x acceleration

So, acceleration is directly proportional to the force.

As the force is doubles, the acceleration is also doubled.
