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}

fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. The potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together

Explanation:

Here we have that when we move the like poles of two bar magnets close to each other, there is an increased resistance in the continuing motion, therefore for each extra gap closer achieved, there is an increase in potential energy

Similarly, when two like charges are brought closer together, the potential energy, or the energy available to push the two like charges apart increases charge as the as the charges are brought closer together

Therefore, the correct option is the potential energy between both like charges and like poles increases as they move closer together.

A 75 kg ball carrier is running to the right at 6.5 m/s. An 80 kg defender is chasing the ball carrier running at 7.0 m/s. The d
Sophie [7]

Answer:

3,544.375Joules

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion, It is expressed as;

Kinetic energy = 1/2mv²

m is the mass of the body

v is the velocity

For the ball carrier;

KE = 1/2(75)(6.5)²

KE = 3168.75/2

KE = 1584.375Joules

For the defender;

KE = 1/2(80)(7)²

KE = 3920/2

KE = 1960Joules

The kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle = KE for the carrier + KE for the defender

kinetic energy of the ball carrier/defender system BEFORE the tackle= 1584.375+1960 = 3,544.375Joules
