Answer:

\lambda=5.60\times 10^{-5}\ m

Explanation:

For constructive interference, the expression is:

d\times sin\theta=m\times \lambda

Where, m = 1, 2, .....

d is the distance between the slits.

The formula can be written as:

sin\theta=\frac {\lambda}{d}\times m ....1

The location of the bright fringe is determined by :

y=L\times tan\theta

Where, L is the distance between the slit and the screen.

For small angle , sin\theta=tan\theta

So,  

Formula becomes:

y=L\times sin\theta

Using 1, we get:

y=L\times \frac {\lambda}{d}\times m

For two fringes:

The formula is:

\Delta y=L\times \frac {\lambda}{d}\times \Delta m

For first and second bright fringe,  

\Delta m=1

Given that:

\Delta y=0.024\ m

d = 2.80 mm

L = 1.20 m  

Also,  

1 mm = 10⁻³ m

d = 2.80×10⁻³ m

Applying in the formula,  

0.024=1.20\times \frac {\lambda}{2.80\times 10^{-3}}\times 1

\lambda=5.60\times 10^{-5}\ m

The drawing shows a golf ball passing through a windmill at a miniature golf course. The windmill has 12 blades and rotates at a
tester [92]

Answer:

v<em>min</em> = 0.23 m/s

Explanation:

The golf ball must travel a distance equal to its diameter in the time between blade arrivals to avoid being hit. If there are 12 blades and 12 blade openings and they have the same width, then each blade or opening is 1/24 of a circle of is 2π/24 = 0.26 radians across.

Therefore, the time between the edge of one blade moving out of the way and the next blade moving in the way is

time = angular distance/angular velocity

⇒ t = 0.26 rad / 1.35 rad/s = 0.194 s

The golf ball must get completely through the blade path in this time, so must move a distance  equal to its diameter in 0.194 s, therefore the speed of the golf ball is

v =d/t

⇒ v = 0.045 m / 0.194 s = 0.23 m/s

Which of the following accurately describe some aspect of gravitational waves? Select all that apply.
steposvetlana [31]
<h2>Answers:</h2>

-The first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015

-The existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity

-Gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources of emission

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Gravitational waves were discovered (theoretically) by Albert Einstein in 1916 and "observed" for the first time in direct form in 2015 (although the results were published in 2016).  

These gravitational waves are fluctuations or disturbances of space-time produced by a massive accelerated body, modifying the distances and the dimensions of objects in an imperceptible way.  

In this context, an excellent example is the system of two neutron stars that orbit high speeds, producing a deformation that propagates like a wave,<u> in the same way as when a stone is thrown into the water</u>. So, in this sense, gravitational waves carry energy away from their sources .

Therefore, the correct options are D, E and F.

After watching a show about submarines, Jamil wants to learn more about the oceans. Which question could be answered through sci
Georgia [21]
The best question that could prompt a scientific investigation is: <u>What substances dissolve in ocean water?</u> 

This way the person experimenting can use several variables and make observations. Upon making observations, the person can be able to gather as much data as he can in order to answer the original question that he asked.
