Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences.

Microscopic view of a gas Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Microscopic view of a gas. Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Note that:

Particles in a:
gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
Particles in a:
gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together.
The following table summarizes properties of gases, liquids, and solids and identifies the microscopic behavior responsible for each property.

Benjamina started her walk from the front door of her ground floor apartment. She walked 6 meters to the corner of the building
Cloud [144]
The distance is the total distance she walked which is 16 meters adding the 6 meters to the corner and 10 meters to her friend's apartment. Her displacement is the distance from her original starting point so you set up a triangle with side lengths of 6 and 10 and solve for the hypotenuse which gives you a displacement of 11.66 meters.

A 4 V power source is connected in parallel to four resistors: 1, 2, 2, and 3. Find the total current.
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

Equivalent resistance is 1 / ((1/1) + (1/2) + (1/2) + (1/3)) = 3/7 Ω

I = V/R = 4(7/3) = 28/3 = 9.3 A

In Young's experiment a mixture of orange light (611 nm) and blue light (471 nm) shines on the double slit. The centers of the f
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

0.5639m

Explanation:

For a young double slit experiment the expression below gives the angular separation for m dark fringe having slit width d and wavelength λ

=sin⁻¹(mλ/d)

mλ /d =y/L

for the first order,

y= mλL/d

For ratio separation y₀/yD=1 and d= 1

y₀/yD= [mλ ₀L₀/d]/[mλD.LD./d]

1=λ ₀L₀/λD.LD.

λD.LD= λ ₀L₀

L₀= λD.LD/ λ ₀..............(1)

Then substitute the given values into (1) we have

L₀=471 *0.497/611

= 0.3831m

Distance by which the screen has to be moved towards the slit is

LD- Lo

0.947-0.3831= 0.5639m
