Answer:

We can retain the original diffraction pattern if we change the slit width to d) 2d.

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern of a single slit has a bright central maximum and dimmer maxima on either side. We will retain the original diffraction pattern on a screen if the relative spacing of the minimum or maximum of intensity remains the same when changing the wavelength and the slit width simultaneously.

Using the following parameters: <em>y</em> for the distance from the center of the bright maximum to a place of minimum intensity, <em>m</em> for the order of the minimum, <em>λ </em>for the wavelength, <em>D </em>for the distance from the slit to the screen where we see the pattern and <em>d </em>for the slit width. The distance from the center to a minimum of intensity can be calculated with:

                                                    y\approx\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

From the above expression we see that if we replace the blue light of wavelength λ by red light of wavelength 2λ in order to retain the original diffraction pattern we need to change the slit width to 2d:

<em>                                                 </em>y\approx\frac{m\lambda D}{d} =\frac{m2\lambda D}{2d}

A 50-ω resistor is connected to a 9.0 V battery. How much thermal energy is produced in 7.5 minutes?1.2 * 10^2 J1.3 * 10^3 J3.0
emmasim [6.3K]

In order to calculate the thermal energy, first let's calculate the power, using the formula:

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

For a voltage V = 9 Volts and a resistance R = 50 ohms, we have:

\begin{gathered} P=\frac{9^2}{50} \\ P=\frac{81}{50}=1.62\text{ W} \end{gathered}

Now, multiplying the power by the time (in seconds), we can find the energy:

\begin{gathered} E=P\cdot t \\ E=1.62\cdot7.5\cdot60 \\ E=729\text{ J} \end{gathered}

In scientific notation, we have an energy of 7.3 * 10^2 J, therefore the correct option is the fourth one.

URGENTTT PLEASE HELPPPP. You put m1 = 1 kg of ice cooled to -20°C into mass m2 = 1 kg of water at 2°C. Both are in a thermally i
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Explanation:

heat lost by water will be used to increase the temperature of  ice

heat gained by ice

= mass x specific heat  x rise in temperature

1 x 2090 x t

heat lost by water in cooling to 0° C

= mcΔt  where m is mass of water , s is specific heat of water and Δt is fall in temperature .

= 1 x 2 x 4186  

8372

heat lost = heat gained

1 x 2090 x t  = 8372

t = 4°C

There will be a rise of  4 degree in the temperature of ice.

A 250 kg cart is at the top of a hill that is 32 m high, what is its potential energy?
atroni [7]

Answer:

<h2>80,000 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 250 × 10 × 32

We have the final answer as

<h3>80,000 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
