That's an urban legend that's been around for a long time.
It was tested on "Mythbusters".  The conclusion was that
it would sting pretty good, and maybe raise a lump, but
it would never penetrate the skull, and it couldn't kill.

g n diffraction, the formula for minima is given by a times s i n (theta )equals m lambda, where a is the width of the slit, the
ki77a [65]

Answer:

θ = 22.2

Explanation:

This is a diffraction exercise

        a sin θ = m λ

The extension of the third zero is requested (m = 3)

They indicate the wavelength  λ = 630 nm = 630 10⁻⁹ m and the width of the slit  a = 5 10⁻⁶ m

         sin  θ = m λ / a

         sin  θ = 3 630 10⁻⁹ / 5 10⁻⁶

         sin  θ = 3.78 10⁻¹ = 0.378

          θ = sin⁻¹  0.378

         

to better see the result let's find the angle in radians

          θ = 0.3876 rad

let's reduce to degrees

         θ = 0.3876 rad (180º /π rad)

         θ = 22.2º

What must happen to the temperature of a material for thermal expansion to occur.
Aloiza [94]
In most cases the temperature must increase for thermal expansion to occur. Most substances expand as temperature increases because the atoms or molecules vibrate faster as temperature increases and experience greater separation.

Two loudspeakers in a 20c room emit 686 hz sound waves along the x-axis.a. if the speakers are in phase, what is the smallest di
jeyben [28]

<u>Answer :</u>

(a) d = 0.25 m

(b) d = 0.5 m

<u>Explanation :</u>

It is given that,

Frequency of sound waves, f = 686 Hz

Speed of sound wave at 20^0\ C is, v = 343 m/s

(1) Perfectly destructive interference occurs when the path difference is half integral multiple of wavelength i.e.

d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}........(1)

Velocity of sound wave is given by :

v=f\times \lambda

d=\dfrac{v}{2f}

d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{2\times 686\ Hz}

d=0.25\ m

Hence, when the speakers are in phase the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is perfectly destructive is 0.25 m.

(2) For constructive interference, the path difference is integral multiple of wavelengths i.e.

d=n\lambda  ( n = integers )

Let n = 1

So, d=\dfrac{v}{f}

d=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{686\ Hz}

d=0.5\ m

Hence, the smallest distance between the speakers for which the interference of the sound waves is maximum constructive is 0.5 m.
