An alpha particle ... one of the things that come shooting out of
some radioactive decay events ... is a package of two protons
and two neutrons. 

Looking at it another way, it's a Helium nucleus ... an atom of
Helium without any electrons.

The value of 1.0004 to the power 1 by 2 using Binomial approximation is​
IgorLugansk [536]

Given:

The given value is (1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}.

To find:

The value of the given expression by using the Binomial approximation.

Explanation:

We have,

(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}

It can be written as:

(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=(1+0.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}

(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0004      [\because (1+x)^n=1+nx]

(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+0.0002

(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1.0002

Therefore, the approximate value of the given expression is 1.0002.

Increase the slit width to 1050 nm. What happens to the width of the central bright fringe? (Always remember to wait a few secon
djyliett [7]

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

In case of Single Slit, diffraction will occur.

Then In Single slit Diffraction, width of central fringe is

x_c= 2D\lambda/a&#10;

where D= distance b/w screen and slit

a= slit width

\lambda = wavelength

Thus if Screen width increases keeping other factors same then width of central fringe becomes narrower as

x_c\propto 1/a

On increasing the slit width the central bright fringe width The width of the central bright fringe becomes narrower.

How light is channelled down an optical fibre
coldgirl [10]

Explanation:

Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.

The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.

However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

A 2.7-kg ball is thrown upward with an initial speed of 20.0 m/s from the edge of a 45.0 m high cliff. At the instant the ball i
scoray [572]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the woman is 34.1m

Explanation:

Given

The initial height of the cliff

yo = 45m final, positition y = 0m bottom of the cliff

y = yo + ut -1/2gt²

u = 20.0m/s initial speed

g = 9.80m/s²

0 = 45.0 + 20×t –1/2×9.8×t²

0 = 45 +20t –4.9t²

Solving quadratically or by using a calculator,

t = 5.69s and –1.61s byt time cannot be negative so t = 5.69s

So this is the total time it takes for the ball to reach the ground from the height it was thrown.

The distance traveled by the woman is

s = vt

Given the speed of the woman v = 6.00m/s

Therefore

s = 6.00×5.69 = 34.14m

Approximately 34.1m to 3 significant figures.
