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

Explain why some people see objects nearby clearly, but objects far away appear blurry. Also, explain how this condition can be
Maru [420]

Myopia

Explanation:

myopia is a common vision condition in which you can see objects near to you clearly, but objects farther away are blurry. It occurs when the shape of your eye causes light rays to refract incorrectly, focusing images in front of your retina instead of on your retina. It can be corrected corrected with eyeglasses, contact lenses or refractive surgery.

An ant can travel approximately 30 meters per minute. How many meters could an ant move in 45 minutes.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

From what I see, it's saying that every minute, the ant can move 30 meters.  So how many meter would it move in 45 minutes?

30 meters = 1 min

x meters = 45 min

1 min x 45 = 45 min

30 meters x 45 = 1,350 meters

So, I believe the answer would be 1,350 meters.

hope this helps. :>

A 100 mH inductor whose windings have a resistance of 6.0 Ω is connected across a 12 Vbattery having an internal resistance of 3
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The store energy in the inductor is 0.088 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Inductor = 100 mH

Resistance = 6.0 Ω

Voltage = 12 V

Internal resistance = 3.0 Ω

We need to calculate the current

Using ohm's law

V = IR

I=\dfrac{V}{R+r}

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{12}{6.0+3.0}

I=1.33\ A

We need to calculate the store energy in the inductor

U=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times100\times10^{-3}\times(1.33)^2

U=0.088\ J

Hence, The store energy in the inductor is 0.088 J
