A graduate student has done a careful analysis of the spectrum of a star. While she has found lines from many elements, there wa

Explanation:

The lines in the spectra of star is due to absorption of light emitted by star by different elements  present in atmosphere of the star .

If some element is present in the outer atmosphere of he star , it will absorb a particular portion of light , for which there will be black line in the spectrum .

These are called Fraunhoffer's lines .

Now there is no such line at the place of Helium in the light spectrum . This means that Helium element is not present in the outer atmosphere of the star.

Two men are standing on a frictionless ice surface holding opposite ends of a rope. One man (mass = 80 kg) pulls on the rope wit
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The acceleration of man 1 and 2 is 3.125\ m/s^2 and 4.167\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Mass of man 1, m₁ = 80 kg

Mass of man 2, m₂ = 60 kg

One man pulls on the rope with a force of 250 N.

Let a₁ is acceleration of man 1,

F = m₁a₁

a_1=\dfrac{F}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{250}{80}\\\\a_1=3.125\ m/s^2

Let a₂ is acceleration of man 1,

F = m₂a₂

a_2=\dfrac{F}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{250}{60}\\\\a_2=4.167\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of man 1 and 2 is 3.125\ m/s^2 and 4.167\ m/s^2.

Coherent light of wavelength 525 nm passes through two thin slits that are 4.15×10^(−2) mm apart and then falls on a screen 7
IRINA_888 [86]

A) 4.7 cm

The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is

sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}

where

n is the order of the maximum

\lambda is the wavelength

a is the distance between the slits

In this problem,

n = 5

\lambda=525 nm =5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m

a=4.15\cdot 10^{-2} mm=4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m

So we find

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(5)(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=3.62^{\circ}

And given the distance of the screen from the slits,

D=75.0 cm = 0.75 m

The distance of the 5th  bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 3.62^{\circ}=0.047 m = 4.7 cm

B) 8.1 cm

The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:

sin \theta=\frac{(n+\frac{1}{2}) \lambda}{d}

To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(8+\frac{1}{2})(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=6.17^{\circ}

And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 6.17^{\circ}=0.081 m = 8.1 cm
