Two slits separated by a distance of d = 0.12 mm are located at a distance of D = 0.63 m from a screen. The screen is oriented p

arallel to the plane of the slits. The slits are illuminated by a coherent light source with a wavelength of λ = 540 nm. A wave from each slit propagates to the screen. The interference pattern shows a peak at the center of the screen (m=0) and then alternating minima and maxima. What is the pathlength difference between the waves at the second maximum (m=2) on the screen?

Answer:

The path-length difference is dsin\theta=1.08*10^{-3}mm

The angle is  \theta = 0.5157^o

Explanation:

  From the question we are told that

             The distance of separation is  d = 0.12 mm = 0.12*10^{-3} m

             The distance from the screen is  D = 0.63 m

              The wavelength is \lambda = 540nm = 540 *10^{-9}m

From the question we can deduce that the the two  maxima's are at the m=0 and m=2

   Now the path difference for this second maxima is mathematically represented as

                   d sin \theta = m \lambda

  Where ddsin\theta is the path length difference

Substituting values

        dsin \theta = 2 * 540*10^{-9}

                 dsin\theta = 1.08*10^{-6}m

converting to mm

               dsin\theta = 1.08*10^{-6} * 1000 mm

                        dsin\theta=1.08*10^{-3}mm

To obtain the angle we make \theta the subject

             \theta = sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ]

 Substituting values

             \theta = sin ^{-1} [\frac{1.08*10^{-6}}{0.12*10^-3} ]

               \theta = 0.5157^o

How do oxygen and beryllium atoms transform into oxygen ion O2- and Be2 beryllium ion Be2? tysm
Hoochie [10]
On the whole, the metals burn in oxygen to form a simple metal oxide. Beryllium is reluctant to burn unless it is in the form of dust or powder. Beryllium has a very strong (but very thin) layer of beryllium oxide on its surface, and this prevents any new oxygen getting at the underlying beryllium to react with it.

If someone is driving 100 miles in 60 minutes then drives 150 miles in 100 minutes west, what is his acceleration rate.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the car, x₀ = 100 miles = 160, 900 m ( 1 mile = 1609 m)

time of motion, t₀ = 60 minutes = 60 mins x 60 s = 3,600 s

final position of the car, x₁ = 150 miles = 241,350 m

time of motion, t₁ = 100 minutes = 100 mins x 60 s = 6,000 s

The initial velocity is calculated as;

u = 160, 900 m / 3,600 s

u = 44.694 m/s

The final velocity is calculated as;

v = 241,350 m / 6,000 s

v = 40.225 m/s

The acceleration is calculated as;

a = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} = \frac{v- u}{t_1 - t_ 0} = \frac{40.225  - 44.694}{6000-3600} = -0.00186 \ m/s^2\\\\

Therefore, his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Which of the following is not a way that astronomers can find how much dark matter there is in cluster of galaxies?
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

<em>b. Observe the radio waves coming from all dark matter; from the strength of the radio waves from each cluster, estimate the amount of dark matter needed to produce them.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The universe is thought to be made up of 85% dark matters. <em>Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it doesn't absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect. This means that option b is wrong since radio wave is an electromagnetic wave</em>. Dark matter is a form of matter that makes up  about a quarter of the total mass–energy density of the universe. Dark matter was theorized due a variety of astrophysical observations and gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless there were more matter in the universe than can be seen.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

i'm not sure if you are asking as a  personal question or a book question so i'm taking it personal.

Explanation:

I was doing a simple task that was handed to me to test my responsibility and I agreed (knowing i am responsible :3). my first thought was "man , this is easy!" but then i started seeing the other kids slaking off and quiting their tasks. I thought that was against the rules, but then i saw my bff doing it too and i thought "this should be ok then!" so i did the same. other kids where still doing it. the teacher came, saw the ones still working and smiled... but when the teacher looked at the ones slaking off omg... his face was like * im gonna kill yall* we took one big gulp and whined. the teacher awarded the ones who completed the task... the others , we had to do our original task but doubled... for 3 weeks!!! it was awful!!!

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!
