Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Power drawn by toaster $P_1=1840\ W$

Power drawn by Electric fan $P_2=1460\ W$

Power drawn by lamp $P_3=50\ W$

Voltage applied $V=120\ V$

If appliances are applied in parallel then Voltage applied is same

Power is given by $P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

Resistance of toaster $R_1=\frac{120^2}{1840}=7.82\ \Omega$

Resistance of electric Fan $R_2=\frac{120^2}{1460}=9.86\ \Omega$

Resistance of toaster $R_3=\frac{120^2}{50}=288\ \Omega$

Current is given by

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

$I_1=\frac{120}{7.82}=15.34\ A$

$I_2=\frac{120}{9.86}=12.17\ A$

$I_3=\frac{120}{288}=0.416\ A$

Answer:

Explanation:

power of toaster, P1 = 1840 W

Power of electric frying pan, P2 = 1460 W

Power of lamp, P3 = 50 W

As they all are connected in parallel, so the voltage is same for all.

Let the current in toaster is i1.

P1 = V x i1

1840 = 120 x i1

i1 = 15.33 A

Let the current in frying pan is i2.

P2 = V x i2

1460 = 120 x i1

i1 = 12.17 A

Let the current in lamp is i3.

P3 = V x i3

50 = 120 x i3

i3 = 0.42 A

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

scrim

Explanation:

A scrim is something that can be placed between the sun and the subject to diffuse the light.

An instance of a diffuser is a softbox that is put on its front side around a strobe containing diffusion content. The sun is a form of hard light that is often diffused through a scrim. The light rays are dispersed by putting a scrim between the sun and the object, and the harsh sun's rays is gentler.

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

The pressure is defined as the product of the density of the liquid by the gravitational acceleration by the height, and can be easily calculated by means of the following equation.

$P=Ro*g*h$

where:

Ro = density of the fluid [kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation [m]

In this way we can understand that the greater pressure is achieved by means of the height of the liquid, that is, as long as the fluid has more height, greater pressure will be achieved at the bottom.

Therefore in order of decreasing will be

The largest pressure with the largest height of the liquid, container B. The next is obtained with container D, the next with container A and the lowest pressure with container C.

The pressure decreases as we go from the container B - D - A - C

A laser emits two wavelengths (λ1 = 420 nm; λ2 = 630 nm). When these two wavelengths strike a grating with 450 lines/mm, they pr

Westkost [7]

A) Order of the first laser: 3, order of the second laser: 2

B) The overlap occurs at an angle of $34.9^{\circ}$

Explanation:

A)

The formula that gives the position of the maxima (bright fringes) for a diffraction grating is

$d sin \theta = m \lambda$

where

d is spacing between the lines in the grating

$\theta$ is the angle of the maximum

m is the order of diffraction

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

For laser 1,

$d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1$

For laser 2,

$d sin \theta = m_2 \lambda_2$

where

$\lambda_1 = 420 nm\\\lambda_2 = 630 nm$

Since the position of the maxima in the two cases overlaps, then the term $d sin \theta$ on the left is the same for the two cases, therefore we can write:

$m_1 \lambda_1 = m_2 \lambda_2\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{630}{420}=\frac{3}{2}$

Therefore:

$m_1 = 3$

$m_2 = 2$

B)

In order to find the angle at which the overlap occurs, we use the 1st laser situation:

$d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1$

where:

N = 450 lines/mm = 450,000 lines/m is the number of lines per unit length, so the spacing between the lines is

$d=\frac{1}{N}=\frac{1}{450,000}=2.2\cdot 10^{-6} m$

$m_1 = 3$ is the order of the maximum

$\lambda_1 = 420 nm = 420\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the laser light

Solving for $\theta$ , we find the angle of the maximum:

$sin \theta = \frac{m_1 \lambda_1}{d}=\frac{(3)(420\cdot 10^{-9})}{2.2\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.572$

So the angle is

$\theta=sin^{-1}(0.572)=34.9^{\circ}$
