Consider two diffraction gratings. One grating has 3000 lines per cm, and the other one has 6000 lines per cm. Both gratings are
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

<em>The 6000 lines per cm grating, will produces the greater dispersion .</em>

Explanation:

A diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic (usually one  that has ridges or rulings on their surface rather than dark lines) structure that splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions.

The directions of the light beam produced from a diffraction grating depend on the spacing of the grating, and also on the wavelength of the light.

For a plane diffraction grating, the angular positions of principle maxima is given by

(a + b) sin ∅n = nλ

where

a+b is the distance between two consecutive slits

n is the order of principal maxima

λ is the wavelength of the light

From the equation, we can see that without sin ∅ exceeding 1, increasing the number of lines per cm will lead to a decrease between the spacing between consecutive slits.

In this case, light of the same wavelength is used. If λ and n is held constant, then we'll see that reducing the distance between two consecutive slits (a + b) will lead to an increase in the angle of dispersion sin ∅. So long as the limit of sin ∅ not greater that one is maintained.

Special relativity can be used to study an object in which frame of reference?
Tresset [83]
Special relativity led the path for general relativity; special relativity is in a sense a special application of the rules of general relativity. While general relativity is in position to tackle all of these problems, special relativity can tackle only problems in inertial frames. Inertial frame means that the frame of reference is inot accelerating. So, we disqualify answers A and D. However, remember that moving in a circle means that there is an acceleration, the centrifugal one, even if the speed does not change. Hence C is also incorrect.
The correct answer is B, since if there is no change in velocity, the frame does not accelerate and it is inertial.

An automobile having a mass of 1,000 kg is driven into a brick wall in a safety test. The bumper behaves like a spring with cons
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

v=2.02\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Assuming no energy lost, according to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the automobile becomes potential energy after the crash:

K=U\\\frac{mv^2}{2}=\frac{kx^2}{2}

Here m is the automobile's mass, v is the speed of the car before impact, k is the "bumper" constant and x is the compression of the bumper due to the collision. Solving for v:

v=x\sqrt\frac{k}{m}\\v=2.63*10^{-2}m\sqrt{\frac{5.9*10^6\frac{N}{m}}{10^3kg}}\\v=2.02\frac{m}{s}

Explain why a 10 kg stone and 1 kg stone dropped from the same height
11111nata11111 [884]
The acceleration of a body in a gravitational field is independent of its mass. Both the stones will fall with the same acceleration through the same height and hence they will strike the ground simultaneously.
