8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Argon to potassium ratio after 1 half life = 1:1

After 2 half lives = 75/25= 3:1

After 3 half lives = 87.5/12.5= 7:1

After 4 half lives = 93.75/6.25 = 15:1

After 5 half lives = 96.875/3.125 = 31/1

All galaxies follow the law of gravity. True or False
Juliette [100K]

The answer is true. All the galaxies in the universe follow the law of gravity.

<span>Based from the book, It's about Time: the Illusion of Einstein’s Time Dilation Explained, </span>

Einstein had explained that all the heavenly bodies in the universe follow the same scientific laws that are similar to our solar system. The stars and planets are held by the principles of inertia and gravity

Light of wavelength 476.1 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.29 mm apart. What is the required distance from the slits to the screen
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The distance is D  =  2.6 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of the light is  \lambda  =  476.1 \ nm  =  476.1 *10^{-9} \ m

      The  distance between the slit is  d =  0.29 \  mm  =  0.29 *10^{-3} \ m

       The  between the first and second dark fringes is  y =  4.2 \ mm  =  4.2 *10^{-3} \ m

Generally  fringe width is mathematically represented as

       y  =  \frac{\lambda * D }{d}

Where D is the distance of the slit to the screen

   Hence

        D  =  \frac{y *  d}{\lambda }

substituting values

       D  =  \frac{ 4.2 *10^{-3} *   0.29 *10^{-3}}{ 476.1 *10^{-9} }

        D  =  2.6 \ m
