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

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

  • If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

       \Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m

  • If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

        l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m

  • The length of the lake is 499 m.

A star with a large luminosity would have a relatively _____ absolute magnitude.
Mademuasel [1]
A star with large luminosity would have a relatively low absolute magnitude. Absolute magnitude is a number that tells how bright a star is from the Earth. However, this scale is backwards and logarithmic, so having a large absolute magnitude value means that the star is faint.

A circular coil of five turns and a diameter of 30.0 cm is oriented in a vertical plane with its axis perpendicular to the horiz
____ [38]

The horizontal component of the magnetic field is 12.6 μT.

The magnetic influence on moving electric currents, electric charges, and magnetic materials is described by a magnetic field, which is a vector field. When a charge moves through a magnetic field, a force that is perpendicular to both its own velocity and the magnetic field operates on it.

The horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is perpendicular to the axis of a circular coil with five turns and a diameter of D = 30.0 cm that is vertically orientated.

A coil current of I = 0.600 A causes a horizontal compass to deflect 45.0° from magnetic north when it is positioned in the coil's center.

Let B be the magnetic field and R be the radius of the circular coil.

Then the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is given as:

B(h) = B(coil) = μ₀ NI / 2R

B(h) = (4π × 10⁻⁷ ) (5)(0.6) / 0.3

B(h) = 12.6 μT
