Answer:

The value of current through the rod becomes half

$i' = \frac{i}{2}$

Explanation:

As per Ohm's law we know that the current through a resistor is given as

$i = \frac{V}{R}$

here we know that

$R = \rho \frac{L}{A}$

here we know that the length of the cylinder is L and area is A so the value of current through the rod is given as

$i = \frac{V A}{\rho L}$

now we have change the length of the conductor to twice of initial value and rest all parameters will remain the same

so we will have

$i' = \frac{VA}{\rho (2L)}$

now from above two equations we have

$\frac{i}{i'} = 2$

so new current will become

$i' = \frac{i}{2}$

Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're

<span>The answer is letter C.

Reflecting telescopes are more powerful than refracting telescopes. These are also called as reflectors which serves an optical telescope that uses a single or combination of curved mirrors. These mirrors then reflect light and form an image. It is designed for very large diameter objects and are mostly considered as major telescopes in the field of astronomy. They were used as an alternative for refracting telescopes during the 17th century because they suffer less chromatic aberrations than a refracting telescope does. <span>

Monochromatic light passes through a double slit, producing interference, the distance between the slit centres is 1.2 mm and th

Alik [6]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is $7200\ \AA$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the slit centers d= 1.2 mm

Distance between constructive fringes $\beta= 0.3\ cm$

Distance between fringe and screen D= 5 m

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of width

$\beta=\dfrac{D\lambda}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$0.3\times10^{-2}=\dfrac{5\times\lambda}{1.2\times10^{-3}}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{0.3\times10^{-2}\times1.2\times10^{-3}}{5}$

$\lambda=7.2\times10^{-7}\ m$

$\lambda=7200\ \AA$

Hence, The wavelength of the light is $7200\ \AA$ .

If "0.3 minute" is correct, then it's 9,543,272 Joules.

If it's supposed to say "0.3 SECOND", then the KE is 2,651 Joules.

A Carnot engine operates between temperature levels of 600 K and 300 K. It drives a Carnot refrigerator, which provides cooling

KATRIN_1 [288]

Explanation:

Formula for maximum efficiency of a Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{H_{1}}} = \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$ ..... (1)

And, formula for maximum efficiency of Carnot refrigerator is as follows.

$\frac{W}{Q_{C_{2}}} = \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ ...... (2)

Now, equating both equations (1) and (2) as follows.

$Q_{C_{2}} \frac{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}}{T_{C_{2}}}$ = $Q_{H_{1}} \frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{1}}}$

$\gamma = \frac{Q_{C_{2}}}{Q_{H_{1}}}$

= $\frac{T_{C_{2}}}{T_{H_{1}}} (\frac{T_{H_{1}} - T_{C_{1}}}{T_{H_{2}} - T_{C_{2}}})$

= $\frac{250}{600} (\frac{(600 - 300)K}{300 K - 250 K})$

= 2.5

Thus, we can conclude that the ratio of heat extracted by the refrigerator ("cooling load") to the heat delivered to the engine ("heating load") is 2.5.
