Complete Question

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. Having recently studied optics in your physics class, you're not too surprised to see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. It appears that the central maximum is about 2 cm across, and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 5 m.

Required:

Estimate the diameter of the pinhole.

Answer:

The diameter is $d =0.000336 m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The central maxima is $D= 2cm = \frac{2}{100} = 0.02m$

The distance from the window shade is $L = 5m$

The average wavelength of the sun is mathematically evaluated as

$\lambda_{ave } = \frac{\lambda_i + \lambda_f}{2}$

Generally the visible light spectrum has a wavelength range between 400 nm to 700 nm

So the initial wavelength of the sun is $\lambda _i = 400nm$

and the final wavelength is $\lambda_f = 700nm$

Substituting this into the above equation

$\lambda_{sun} = \frac{400nm +700nm}{2}$

$= 550nm$

The diameter is evaluated as

$d = \frac{2.44 \lambda_{sun} L}{D}$

substituting values

$d = \frac{2.44 * 550*10^{-9} * 5 }{0.02}$

$d =0.000336 m$

How do characteristics help you to classify seeds?

Artyom0805 [142]

Characteristics help us to classify seeds because different plants have different features.

<h3>How are characteristics used to identify and classify plants?</h3>

The divisions classify plants that are based on whether they reproduce by spores or seeds. Spore-bearing plants include ferns, club mosses, and horsetail while on the other hand, Seed-bearing plants are divided into gymnosperms and angiosperms. Different plants have different characteristics and features so on the basis of these characteristics we can easily classify seeds whether they belong from angiosperm and gymnosperm.

So we can conclude that characteristics help us to classify seeds because different plants have different features.

A 5.45-g combustible sample is burned in a calorimeter. the heat generated changes the temperature of 555 g of water from 20.5°c

Y_Kistochka [10]

Given:
m = 555 g, the mass of water in the calorimeter
ΔT = 39.5 - 20.5 = 19 °C, temperature change
c = 4.18 J/(°C-g), specific heat of water

Assume that all generated heat goes into heating the water.
Then the energy released is
Q = mcΔT
= (555 g)*(4.18 J/(°C-g)*(19 °C)
= 44,078.1 J
= 44,100 J (approximately)

Answer: 44,100 J

When a car slows down suddenly, passengers in the car tend to move toward the front of the car. What is this due to?

Neko [114]

Hey there Kendrell!

Yes, this is very true, when the car slows down, our bodies will tend to lean forward a little bit, and this is actually due to the "motion of inertia".

Inertia allows for this to happen, this is why in this case, we have this case.

Hope this helps.
