Why is 30% recommended as the minimum Michelson contrast?

Physics
1 answer:
forsale [732]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Michelson contrast is used for patterns where the distribution of bright and dark segments is nearly equal.

It is given by:

m= \frac{I_{max}-I{min}}{I_{max}+I{min} }

where I_max = maximum illumination and I_min = minimum illumination

we know that

typically, I_min = 54% of I_max  (general standard)

or I_min = 0.54 I_max

putting this value in above equation to get m

this approximately corresponds to m = 0.3 or 30%

hence, 30% recommended as the minimum Michelson contrast

What is the resistance of a 3.5 m copper wire (Rho= 1.7x10-8 Ohm·m) that 1 point
VikaD [51]

Answer:

(D)

Explanation:

Given :

l=3.5 m

A=5.26*10^{-6} m^{2}

p=1.7*10^{-8}  ohm.m

Resistance can be calculated as :

R=p\frac{l}{A} \\R=1.7*10^{-8} \frac{3.5}{5.26*10^{-6} }

R=\frac{5.95*10^{-2} }{5.26} \\R=1.13*10^{-2}

Resistance of the wire will be 1.1×10^{-2} ohms

Option D is correct

A basketball player throws a basketball m = 1 kg straight up with an initial speed of v0 = 9.5 m/s. The ball leaves his hand at
brilliants [131]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. So that the initial energy on the system is equivalent to the final energy.

The initial or final energy will also be the TOTAL mechanical energy of the body.

In the case of the initial energy we will have two types of energy on the body: Kinetic energy and potential energy.

For the case of the final energy we will only have the potential energy in terms of the height h_m, the mass m, and the gravity g

E_i = E_f

KE_i + PE_i = PE_f

\frac{1}{2} mv_0^2 +mgh_0 = mgh_m

E = mgh_m

The total mechanical energy will be equivalent in the terms required, to the final potential energy.

Why is copper a pure substance
belka [17]

Any true element (including copper) is by definition a "pure" substance. As there are no other elements in it, if you were to include any other elements it would become a compound or mixture of elements.
