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

a mass of 1.00 kg of water at temperature T is poured from a height of 0.100 km into a vessel containing water of the same tempe
Mariana [72]

Answer:

1.34352 kg

Explanation:

m_w = Mass of water falling = 1 kg

h = Height of fall = 0.1 km

\Delta T = Change in temperature = 0.1

c = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg K

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m_v = Mass of water in the vessel

Here the potential energy will balance the internal energy

m_wgh=m_wc\Delta T+m_vc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh-m_wc\Delta T}{c\Delta T}\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh}{c\Delta T}-m_w\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{1\times 9.81\times 100}{4186\times 0.1}-1\\\Rightarrow m_v=1.34352\ kg

Mass of the water in the vessel is 1.34352 kg

"Compared to infrared radiation, does ultraviolet radiation have longer or shorter wavelengths? Does ultraviolet radiation have
balu736 [363]

Answer:Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than infrared radiation.

Explanation: Electromagnetic radiation radiations which have both electrical and magnetic properties,they can be transmitted through space or through a medium.

It includes Gamma radiation, infra-red, visible light, Ultraviolet radiation etc they occur with different wavelength, the lower the wavelength the higher the Energy dissipated per photon. According to their order of decreasing wavelength and increased energy they are classified as follows.

RADIO WAVE, MICRO WAVE, INFRA-RED, VISIBLE LIGHT, ULTRAVIOLET RAY, X-RAY, GAMMA RAYS.

how many times does the kinectic energy of a car increase when traveling 60 mph as opposed to traveling 30 mph
Bumek [7]
The car at 60 kph has 9 times more kinetic energy than the car traveling at 20 kph. This assumes that both cars have the same mass. Kinetic energy depends on the square of thee speed so if one car is going 3 times faster, its kinetic energy will be 3^2 ( = 9 ) greater. The car going at 60 kph will have 4 times the KE of the car going at 30 kph ( again assuming that the cars have the same mass.)
