Answer:

The ruling separation must be between 2.2 × 10⁻⁶ m and 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

Fringe spacing w = λ·D/s

Diffraction grating, d·sin(θ) = n·λ

n = Number of lines

When θ = 90°, we have, sin(θ) = sin(90°) = 1

Therefore;

d·sin(θ) = d × 1 = d = n·λ

When n = 6 lines and d = 550-nm, we have;

d = 6 × 550-nm = 3,300 nm = 3.3 microns = 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m

Therefore, the ruling separation must be between 2.2 × 10⁻⁶ m and 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ m.

Facts about light years
Anton [14]
 A light-year is how astronomers measure distance in space.
-Light can travel 300,000 kilometres in one seconds!
Light year is the distance that light travel can travel in one year.
-Light can also travel 9,00,000,000,000 kilometers.
-One light is about 10 trillion km.
-Almost 300 years ago ,a Danish scientist named olaus roemer,was the fist man to estimate the distance light travels in a year -and using that he figure out the approximate speed of light!

A particle moving on a circle has a velocity of 5 m/s and a normal acceleration of 10 m/s^2. What is the radius of the circle?
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

Explanation:

We have given velocity of particle moving in the circle v = 5 m/sec

Acceleration of particle in the circle a=10m/sec^2

We have to find the radius of the circle

We know that acceleration is given by a=\frac{v^2}{r}

So 10=\frac{5^2}{r}

r=\frac{25}{10}=2.5m

So radius of the circle will be 2.5 m

Snorkeling by humans and elephants. When a person snorkels, the lungs are connected directly to the atmosphere through the snork
fgiga [73]

Answer:

2354.4 Pa

40221 Pa

Explanation:

\rho = Density = 1000 kg/m³

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Depth

The pressure difference would be

\Delta P=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=1000\times 0.24\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=2354.4\ Pa

The pressure difference in the first case is 2354.4 Pa

\Delta P=\rho gh\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=1000\times 4.1\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow \Delta P=40221\ Pa

The pressure difference in the second case is 40221 Pa

what is the main difference between a substance going through a physical change and one going through a chemical ?
Ainat [17]

Answer: Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical composition. Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions.
