Answer:

The intensity at 10° from the center is 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

Explanation:

The intensity of light I = I₀(sinα/α)² where α = πasinθ/λ

I₀ = maximum intensity of light

a = slit width = 2.0 μm = 2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m

θ = angle at intensity point = 10°

λ = wavelength of light = 650 nm = 650 × 10⁻⁹ m

α = πasinθ/λ

= π(2.0 × 10⁻⁶ m)sin10°/650 × 10⁻⁹ m

= 1.0911/650 × 10³

= 0.001679 × 10³

= 1.679

Now, the intensity I is

I = I₀(sinα/α)²

= I₀(sin1.679/1.679)²

= I₀(0.0293/1.679)²

= 0.0175²I₀

= 0.0003063I₀

= 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

So, the intensity at 10° from the center is 3.06 × 10⁻⁴I₀

How is the lifetime of a star related to its mass?
Flauer [41]
Stars having less mass collapses early than those with more mass. This can be explained by Einstein's equation E=mc².
According to this equation, mass of stars is converted into light due to thermonuclear reactions occuring in the core of star which acts as engine of the stars. This thermonuclear reactions keeps star alive. Thermonuclear reactions occurs slowly in massive stars hence massive stars live more than light stars.

Name one contact force and one force that acts through a force field
nirvana33 [79]
A contact force is a type of force which act on an object by coming in contact with the object. Examples of contact force that acts through a force field are: applied force, frictional force, air resistance force, tension, spring force, etc.
  Examples of forces that act through a force field are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, the weak interaction and the strong interaction.

Gold has a density of 19300 kg/m³. Calculate the mass of 0.02 m³ of gold in kilograms.
hjlf

Answer:

Mass = 386 kg

Explanation:

<u><em>Density = Mass / Volume</em></u>

Mass = Density × Volume

Where D = 19300 kg/m³ , V = 0.02 m³

<em>Putting the given in the above formula</em>

Mass = 19300 × 0.02

Mass = 386 kg
