The two most prominent wavelengths in the light emitted by a hydrogen discharge lamp are 656 nm(red) and 486 nm (blue). Light fr

om a hydrogen lamp illuminates a diffraction grating with 520lines/mm , and the light is observed on a screen 1.5m behind the grating.

Answer:

0.152 m

Explanation:

The condition for constructive interference is

d sinθ= mλ  (m= 0,1,2,3...)

the slit width

d= 1/N

d= 10^(-3)/520

= 1.92×10^(-6)

The angular spread for the red light is

\theta_r= sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})

\theta_r= sin^{-1}(\frac{656\times10^{-9}}{1.92\times10^{-6}})

= 19.97°

The angular spread of blue light is

\theta_b= sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})

\theta_b= sin^{-1}(\frac{456\times10^{-9}}{1.92\times10^{-6}})

=14.66°

The distance between the first order red fringe and blue fringe is,

y= y_r- y_b = Ltanθ_r -Ltanθ_b

=1.50( tan19.97°-tan14.66°) = 0.152 m

Thermal Conductors don't have to be hot to transfer heat, explain a situation when a ice cube would still transfer heat to anoth
barxatty [35]
An ice cube would transfer heat to another object whose temperature
is lower than zero°C (32°F).

A block of "dry ice" is sitting there at a temperature of -78°C (-109°F).
An ice cube helps to melt dry ice nice and fast.

If you could find a block of solid nitrogen, its temperature would be
63K (-210°C, -346°F).  An ice cube would transfer heat to that baby
so fast that it would instantly boil.

An 85 kg man and his 35 kg daughter are sitting on opposite ends of a 3.00 m see-saw. The see-saw is anchored in the center. If
wolverine [178]

Answer:

0.54m

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

length of seesaw= 3m

mass of man m1= 85kg

weight = mg

W1= 85*10= 850N

mass of daughter m2= 35kg

W2= 35*10= 350N

distance from the center= (1.5-0.2)= 1.3m

Step two:

we know that the sum of clockwise moment equals the anticlockwise moment

let the distance the must sit to balance the system be x

taking moment about the center of the system

350*1.3=850*x

455=850x

divide both sides by  850

x=455/850

x=0.54

Hence the man must sit 0.54m from the right to balance the system

How does the generator effect work?​
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The changing magnetic field within the loops of wire creates an electric field that pushes the electrons in the wire through the lamp, briefly lighting it

Explanation:

The GE demonstrates that a voltage, and hence a current, can be generated by plunging a coil of wire into and out of a strong magnet.

In a college homecoming competition, eighteen students lift a sports car. While holding the car off the ground, each student exe
Nata [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Each student exert a force of F=400 N

Let mass of car be m

there are 18 students who lifts the car

Total force by 18 students F=18\times 400=7200 N

therefore weight of car W=7200

mass of car m=\frac{W}{g}

m=\frac{7200}{9.8}=734.69 kg

(b)7200 N \approx 1618.624\ Pound-force

734.69 kg\approx 1619.71 Pounds
