Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o

n a screen that is 2.40 m from the grating. Part A In the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.92 mm . What is the difference between these wavelengths? Express your answer in meters.

Answer:

13.51 nm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we are going to use angle approximation that sin θ ≈ tan θ ≈ θ where our θ is in radians

y/L=tan θ ≈ θ

and ∆θ ≈∆y/L

Where ∆y= wavelength distance= 2.92 mm =0.00292m

L=screen distance= 2.40 m

=0.00292m/2.40m

=0.001217 rad

The grating spacing is d = (90000 lines/m)^−1

=1.11 × 10−5 m.

the small-angle

approx. Using difraction formula with m = 1 gives:

mλ = d sin θ ≈ dθ →

∆λ ≈ d∆θ = =1.11 × 10^-5 m×0.001217 rad

=0.000000001351m

= 13.51 nm

A 1kg cart slams into a stationary 1kg cart at 2 m/s. The carts stick together and move forward at a speed of 1 m/sl. Determine
finlep [7]

Answer:

No, it is not conserved

Explanation:

Let's calculate the total kinetic energy before the collision and compare it with the total kinetic energy after the collision.

The total kinetic energy before the collision is:

K_i = K_1 + K_2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}mv_2^2=\frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(2 m/s)^2+\frac{1}{2}(1 kg)(0)^2=2 J

where m1 = m2 = 1 kg are the masses of the two carts, v1=2 m/s is the speed of the first cart, and where v2=0 is the speed of the second cart, which is zero because it is stationary.

After the collision, the two carts stick together with same speed v=1 m/s; their total kinetic energy is

K_f = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2=\frac{1}{2}(1 kg+1kg)(1 m/s)^2=1 J

So, we see that the kinetic energy was not conserved, because the initial kinetic energy was 2 J while the final kinetic energy is 1 J. This means that this is an inelastic collision, in which only the total momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy does not violate the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the energy lost has simply been converted into another form of energy, such as heat, during the collision.

Assume a reaction takes 7.5 moles of anhydrous calcium chloride and energy transfer occurs, which we record as 21.2 joules of en
OLga [1]

Answer: 2.83 J/mol

Explanation:

Heat of solution, sometimes interchangeably called enthalpy of solution, is said to be the energy released or absorbed when the solute dissolves in the solvent. A solute is that which can dissolve in a solvent, to form a solution

Given

No of moles of CaCl = 7.5 mol

Total energy used = 21.2 J

Heat of solution = q/n where

q = total energy

n = number of moles

Heat of solution = 21.2 / 7.5

Heat of solution = 2.83 J/mol
