The ceiling of your lecture hall is probably covered with acoustic tile, which has small holes separated by about 5.9 mm. Using

light with a wavelength of 527 nm, how far could you be from this tile and still resolve these holes? The diameter of your eye is about 5 mm.( )mCould you resolve these holes better with red light or with violet light? (You have only 1 try.)1. violet.2. red

Answer:

45.88297 m

Violet

Explanation:

x = Gap between holes = 5.9 mm

\lambda = Wavelength = 527 nm

D = Diameter of eye = 5 mm

L= Distance of observer from holes

From Rayleigh criteria we have the relation

\frac{x}{L}=1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{xD}{1.22\lambda}\\\Rightarrow L=\frac{5.9\times 10^{-3}\times 5\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 527\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow L=45.88297\ m

A person could be 45.88297 m from the tile and still resolve the holes

Resolving them better means increasing the distance between the observer and the holes. It can be seen here that the distance is inversely proportional to the wavelength. Violet has a lower wavelength than red so, violet light would resolve the holes better.

What is the acceleration of an object with a constant velocity
valina [46]

Zero.

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time.

Since in your case there is no change, there is no acceleration, so it is zero:

Or in formula: <span>a=<span><span>Δv</span>t</span></span>

Where a=acceleration, <span>Δv</span>=change in velocity and t=time

1. Which type of wire would be a better conductor of an electrical current?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

1. a

2. b

3. b

Explanation:

1.

Resistance is the property of a conductor to offer resistance to the flow of current. The lower the resistance better is  the conductivity of wire.

We know that the resistance of a wire depends on several factor which are inter-connected by an equation as:

R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}

where:

R = resistance of the wire

l = length of the wire

a= cross sectional area of the wire  

from the above relation we observe that

R\propto l

R\propto \frac{1}{a}

  • Also when the temperature of the wire is significantly high then the lattice vibration cause obstruction in the path of the flowing charges and reduce the current flow.

2.

As the collision between the electrons and protons increases the speed of the flow of charges will decrease because the opposite charges attract each other and as we know that electrical current is the rate of flow of charge.

3.

Heating up of wire due to sunlight will cause lattice vibration in the conductor and will obstruct the movement of the charges which build up electric current, hence increasing the resistance of conductivity.
