A screen is placed 1.20m behind a single slit. The central maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern on the screen is 1.40cm

Answer:

2.8 cm

Explanation:

y_1 = Separation between two first order diffraction minima = 1.4 cm

D = Distance of screen = 1.2 m

m = Order

Fringe width is given by

\beta_1=\dfrac{y_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=\dfrac{1.4}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=0.7\ cm

Fringe width is also given by

\beta_1=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}

For second order

\beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1

Distance between two second order minima is given by

y_2=2\beta_2

\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.7\\\Rightarrow y_2=2.8\ cm

The distance between the two second order minima is 2.8 cm

You are standing on a street corner with your friend. You then travel 14.0 m due west across the street and into your apartment
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall express each displacement vectorially , i for each unit displacement towards east , j for northward displacement and k for vertical displacement .

14 m due west = - 14 i

22.0 m upward in the elevator = 22 k

12 m north = 12 j

6.00 m east = 6 i

Total displacement = - 14 i + 22 k + 12 j + 6 i

D = - 8 i + 12 j + 22 k

magnitude = √ ( 8² + 12² + 22² )

= √ ( 64 + 144 + 484 )

= √ 692

= 26.3 m

Net displacement from starting point = 26.3 m .

in the diagram, q2 is +34.4*10^-6 C, and q3 is -72.8*10^-6 C. The net force on q2 is 225 N to the right. What is q1? Include the
sesenic [268]

Answer:

  q₁ = -6.54 10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

Force is a vector quantity, but since all charges are on the x-axis, we can work in one dimension, let's apply Newton's second law

                F = F₁₂ + F₂₃

the electric force is given by Coulomb's law

                F = k q₁q₂ / r₁₂²

let's write the expression for each force

                F₂₃ = k q₂ q₃ / r₂₃²

                F₂₃ = 9 10⁹ 34.4 10⁻⁶ 72.8 10⁻⁶ / 0.1²

                F₂₃ = 2.25 10³ N

               

                F₁₂ = k q₁q₂ / r₁₂²

                F₁₂ = 9 10⁹ q₁ 34.4 10⁻⁶ / 0.1²

                F₁₂ = q₁   3,096 10⁷ N

we substitute in the first equation

                225 = q₁  3,096 10⁷ +2.25 10³

                q₁ = (225 - 2.25 10³) / 3,096 10⁷

                q₁ = -6.54 10⁻⁵ C

High rate of evaporation in a water cycle can most likely cause
scoray [572]
Answer: d. thunderstorms
The option <span>blizzards can be excluded as it is clearly not related to the evaporation. Floods can happen if the condensation rate high, not evaporation. Sometimes the cloud that carries water is just blown up by the wind so the evaporation does not happen in that place.
Thunderstorms happen more in summer because the rate of evaporation and condensation is increased.</span>
