Answer:

A.2.95 m

B.7

Explanation:

We are given that

Diffraction grating=600 lines/mm

d=\frac{1 mm}{600}=\frac{1\times 10^{-3} m}{600}=1.67\times 10^{-6} m

Wavelength of light,\lambda=510 nm=510\times 10^{-9} m

l=4.6 m

A.We have to find the distance between the two m=1 bright fringes

sin\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}

For first bright fringe, =1

sin\theta=\frac{1\times 510\times 10^{-9}}{1.67\times 10^{-6}}=0.305

\theta=sin^{-1}(0.305)=17.76^{\circ}

The distance between two m=1 fringes

x=2ltan\theta=2\times 4.6 tan(17.76^{\circ})=2.95 m

Hence, the distance between two m=1 fringes=2.95 m

B.For maximum number of fringes,

sin\theta=1

sin\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}

Substitute the values

1=\frac{m\times 510\times 10^{-9}}{1.67\times 10^{-6}}

m=\frac{1.67\times 10^{-6}}{510\times 10^{-9}}=3.3\approx 3

Maximum number of bright fringes on the scree=2m+1=2(3)+1=7

<h3>answer</h3>

The minimum velocity required for a object to rotate in a verticle plane is v

1

=

5

gr.

So, at bottom point, T

max

=mv

1

2

/r+mg=6mg.

At top-most point velocity is v

2

=gr.

So, T

min

=mv

2

/r−mg=0

So T

−T

min

=6mg=2×g⇒m=1/3 kg

A person approaches a flat mirror at a speed of 0.25 m / s. How fast is he approaching his image?
Bezzdna [24]
  • Flat mirror is given here
  • We know that in a flat mirror the distance of object from the mirror is equal to distance of image from the mirror i.e v=u
  • Only the side of image changes ime left is seemed right.

So the speed remains same 0.25m/s.

A space expedition discovers a planetary system consisting of a massive star and several spherical planets. The planets all have
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

T/√8

Explanation:

From Kepler's law, T² ∝ R³ where T = period of planet and R = radius of planet.

For planet A, period = T and radius = 2R.

For planet B, period = T' and radius = R.

So, T²/R³ = k

So, T²/(2R)³ = T'²/R³

T'² = T²R³/(2R)³

T'² = T²/8

T' = T/√8

So, the number of hours it takes Planet B to complete one revolution around the star is T/√8
