Answer:

w=4.88*10^{-3}m\\or\\w=4.88mm

Explanation:

Given data

Diameter D=0.50 mm

Wavelength λ=500 nm

Length L=2.0 m

To find

Width w

Solution

Circular aperture of diameter D will have bright central maximum of diameter:

w=(2.44λL)/D

w=(\frac{2.44(500*10^{-9}m )(2.0m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m} )\\w=4.88*10^{-3}m\\or\\w=4.88mm

Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile? Answ
Vinil7 [7]

Answer: 272.82 drop/tile

Explanation:

Given that the Rain drops fall on a tile surface at a density of 4638 drops/ft2. There are 17 tiles/ft2. How many drops fall on each tile?

Tiles/ft^2 × drop/tiles = drop/ft^2

Tiles will cancel out. Leaving the answer to be drop/ ft^2

Substitutes all the magnitude of the above units.

17 × drop/tiles = 4638

Make drop/tiles the subject of formula

Drop/tiles = 4638/17

Drop/tiles = 272.82

Therefore, 272.82 drop/tile drops fall on each tile?

How does nuclear energy work? Explain
fgiga [73]
There are many processes to get nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is basically energy from an atom. For example fission is where the nucleus of an atom ( typically radioactive atoms ) gets split then energy is released ( typically heat). And in radioactive decay radiation is released from an radioactive atom. Hope this helps

Drupady [299]
The correct answer is D: Watt. This unit was named after James Watt, and is used to express the equivalent of one joule per second in energy. In experiments and on the packaging for electrical products such as light-bulbs, the measurement will usually be written in its abbreviated format: W.
