Positive 2n to the right of the box
In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by
(1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern
is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit
In our problem,
while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is
(2)
If we use the formula to rewrite
, eq.(2) becomes
Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
Answer:
temperature
Explanation:
In general, the specific heat also depends on the temperature. The table below lists representative values of specific heat for various substances. Except for gases, the temperature and volume dependence of the specific heat of most substances is weak.
To determine the distance of the light that has traveled given the time it takes to travel that distance, we need a relation that would relate time with distance. In any case, it would be the speed of the motion or specifically the speed of light that is travelling which is given as 3x10^8 meters per second. So, we simply multiply the time to the speed. Before doing so, we need to remember that the units should be homogeneous. We do as follows:
distance = 3x10^8 m/s ( 8.3 min ) ( 60 s / 1 min ) = 1.494x10^11 m
Since we are asked for the distance to be in kilometers, we convert
distance = 1.494x10^11 m ( 1 km / 1000 m) = 149400000 km
Answer:
Explanation:
There are 3 main forces at work here, gravity, normal and friction. The gravity pulls the car straight down and is what keeps the car on the ground. Normal force is straight up from the points where the car is touching, so since the wheels are the only parts of the car touching the street, this is where all the normal force is. Friction force opposes any and all motion, the car wants to slide down the hill and would slide down the hill if there was no friction, so the friction force is in the opposite direction of the cars intended motion.
