Answer:

= 6.55cm

Explanation:

Given that,

distance = 1.26 m

distance between  two fourth-order maxima = 53.6 cm

distance between central bright fringe and fourth order maxima

y = Y / 2

  =  53.6cm / 2

  = 26.8 cm

  =0.268 m

tan θ = y / d

         = 0.268 m /  1.26 m

         = 0.2127

       θ = 12°

4th maxima

d sinθ = 4λ

d / λ = 4 / sinθ

d / λ = 4 / sin 12°

d / λ = 19.239

for first (minimum)

d sinθ = λ / 2

sinθ =  λ / 2d

       =  1 / 2(19.239)

       = 1 / 38.478

       = 0.02599

    θ =  1.489°

tan θ = y / d

y = d tan θ

  = 1.26 tan 1.489°

  = 0.03275

the total width of the central bright fringe  

Y = 2y

  = 2(0.03275)

  = 0.0655m

  = 6.55cm

The deviation of a value (x) from the mean of the sample divided by the standard deviation (s)of the sample is known as the "z"
Ugo [173]

Answer:

true.

Explanation:

z-score gives an idea of how far the value of data is from the mean point. Basically is the measure of a standard deviation below or above the mean.

More the deviation of the data from the mean more is the standard deviation.

Z-score or value is calculated by the expression given below:

     z = \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

  x is the value

 μ is the mean

 σ is the standard deviation

Hence, the statement given is true.

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 0.10 km high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 65 m horizontally
stepladder [879]

Answer:  well the time it takes to fall 100m is the same time it takes to travel 65m horizontally.  

The time to fall vertically, t is sqrt(2d/g). [this comes from d = 1/2at^2]  

so t = sqrt(2*100/9.8) = 4.52s.  

The vertical speed at that time is g*t = 9.8*4.52 = 44.3m/s  

The horizontal speed is the horizontal distance over the same 4.52s, = 65/4.52 = 14.4m/s.  

so the final velocity is = sqrt(44.3^2 + 14.4^2) = 46.6m/s

Explanation: yes

A student standing in a canyon yells "echo", and her voice produces a sound wave of frequency of f = 0.61 kHz. The echo takes t
klasskru [66]

Answer:

d=627.9\ m  is the distance from the obstacle of reflection.

wavelength \lamb=0.5279\ m

Explanation:

Given that:

  • frequency of sound, f=610\ Hz
  • time taken for the echo to be heard, t=3.9\ s
  • speed of sound, v=322\ m.s^{-1}

We know,

\rm distance = speed \times time

<em>During an echo the sound travels the same distance back and forth.</em>

2d=v.t

2d=322\times 3.9

d=627.9\ m  is the distance from the obstacle of reflection.

<u>Now the wavelength of sound waves:</u>

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

\lambda=\frac{322}{610}

\lamb=0.5279\ m
