Fractional distillation of liquid air. You need to be able to explain how nitrogen and oxygen are obtained from the air. You will recall that about 78% of the air is nitrogen and 21% is oxygen. These two gases can be separated by fractional distillation of liquid air

Oxygen is obtained on a commercial scale through the liquefaction and distillation of ambient air at air separation plants. A secondpurification process may be necessary if ultra-high purity levels are required. High-purity oxygen can also be produced through the electrolysis of water.

For a converging lens, a ray arriving parallel to the optic axis

mixer [17]

Answer:

b. passes through the principal focal point.

Explanation:

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

A lens can be defined as a transparent optical instrument that refracts rays of light to produce a real image.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of lens and these includes;

I. Diverging (concave) lens.

II. Converging (convex) lens.

A converging lens refers to a type of lens that typically causes parallel rays of light with respect to its principal axis to come to a focus (converge) and form a real image. This type of lens is usually thin at the lower and upper edges and thick across the middle.

For a converging lens, a ray arriving parallel to the optic axis passes through the principal focal point.

The viewing screen in a double-slit experiment with monochromatic light. Fringe C is the central maximum. The fringe separation

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Part A:

a) If the wavelength of the light is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

Part B:

b) If the spacing between the slits is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will increase.

Part C:

a) If the distance to the screen is decreased the fringe spacing will decrease.

Part D:

The dot in the center of fringe E is $920\ x\ 10^{-9} m$ farther from the left slit than from the right slit.

Explanation:

In the double-slit experiment there is a clear contrast between the dark and bright fringes, that indicate destructive and constructive interference respectively, in the central peak and then is less so at either side.

The position of bright fringes in the screen where the pattern is formed can be calculated with

$\vartriangle y =\frac{m \lambda L}{d}$

$m=0,\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm 3,.....$

m is the order number.
$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the monochromatic light.
L is the distance between the screen and the two slits.
d is the distance between the slits.

Part A: a) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the wavelength of the light $\lambda$ is decreased the overall effect will be that the fringes are going to be closer. That means that the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

Part B: b) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the spacing between the slits d is decreased the fringes are going to be wider apart. That means the fringe spacing Δy will increase.
Part C: a) In the above equation we can see that if the distance to the screen L is decreased the fringes are going to be closer. That means the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

Part D: We are told that the central maximum is the fringe C that corresponds with m=0. That means that fringe E corresponds with the order number m=2 if we consider it to be the second maximum at the rigth of the central one. To calculate how much farther from the left slit than from the right slit is a dot located at the center of the fringe E in the screen we use the condition for constructive interference. That says that the path length difference Δr between rays coming from the left and right slit must be $\vartriangle r=m \lambda$
