Answer:

D.temporarily displaced and return to their normal position when the wave passes.

Explanation:

When a wave propagates in a medium, it does going through the particles that exist in that space.

Those are altered by the wave that crosses them but, that phenomenon only lasts the time takes to pass through, then the particles return to their natural state.

A pair of slits separated by 1 mm, are illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength 411 nm. The light falls on a screen 1.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

$t = 0.192 \mu m$

Explanation:

Path difference due to a transparent slab is given as

$\Delta x = (\mu - 1) t$

here we know that

$\mu = 1.79$

now total shift in the bright fringe is given as

$Shift = \frac{D(\mu - 1)t}{d}$

Also we know that the fringe width of maximum intensity is given as

$\delta x = \frac{\lambda D}{d}$

now we have

$\frac{D}{d} = \frac{\delta x}{\lambda}$

now the shift is given as

$Shift = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}$

given that the shift is

$Shift = 0.37 \delta x$

here we have

$0.37 \delta x = \frac{(\mu - 1) t \delta x}{\lambda}$

now plug in all values in it

$0.37 = \frac{(1.79 - 1) t}{411 \times 10^{-9}}$

$t = 0.192 \times 10^{-6} m$

$t = 0.192 \mu m$

Alcohol of mass 33.2g and density 0.79kg/m³ or 790kg/m³ is mixed with water of 9g. What is the density of the resulting mixture?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

0.83 g/cm³

Explanation:

The volume of the alcohol is ...

(33.2 g)/(0.79 g/cm³) ≈ 42.0253 cm³

The density of water is about 1 g/cm³, so the volume of 9 g of it is ...

(9 g)/(1 g/cm³) = 9 cm³

The total volume is ...

42.0253 cm³ +9 cm³ = 51.0253 cm³

The total mass is ...

33.2 g + 9 g = 42.4 g

So, the resulting density is ...

(42.4 g)/(51.0253 cm³) ≈ 0.83 g/cm³

The resulting mixture has a density of about 0.83 g/cm³.

_____

Additional comment

Alcohol dissolves in water, so the total volume will be slightly less than 51.0253 cm³. The attached curve shows the result of mixing ethanol and water.

The weight of a mole of ethanol is about 46 g, of water, about 18.02 g. Then the mole fraction of alcohol is ...

(33.2/46)/(33.2/46 +9/18.02) ≈ 0.59

The volume of the mix is then estimated to be (-1.05 cc/mol)(1.221 mol), or about 1.28 cm³ less than the volume indicated above. That brings the density up to about 0.85 g/cm³.

We're not completely sure of the relevance of this calculation, since many of the applicable parameters are not specified. The point is that the density of the mix will probably be slightly more than the value calculated above. YMMV

Why is Pluto no longer a planet?

Step2247 [10]

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.

The first law of motion applies to what?

lana66690 [7]

First law of motion- sometimes referred to as the law of inertia. An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
