Answer:a)It remains the same.

b)It decreases

Explanation:◇y = (wavelength×Length)/ distance

The wavelength of light is constant.

d = distance between the two slit. The value of d does not change so the fringes as well will not change.

b) As the space between the two slit becomes wider,the diffraction of light waves will become wider too.

When the width of the two slits are doubled,the diffraction of light forms larger angles and the intensive of the bright fringes decreases.

A 10.0 m wire is hung from a high ceiling and held tightly below
yan [13]

Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

Speed of waves is as the product of frequency and wavelength hence expressed as s=fw where f is the frequency of waves in Hz, s is the speed in m/s and w is wavelength in meters.

Making w the subject of the formula then

w=\frac {s}{f}

Substituting 335 m/s for s and 67 Hz for f then the wavelength is

w=\frac {335}{67}=5m

Wavelength is the distance between successive crests. Since the string is 10m, wavelengths of 5m each will be 2 and the crests will be 3.

The pitchers mound in baseball is 85 meters from home plate . If it takes 4.1 seconds for a pitch to reach the plate , how fast
adoni [48]

Answer: 20.73m/s

Explanation:

The question simply wants us to calculate the speed of the pitch. The speed will be calculated as:

= Distance/Time

where,

Distance = 85 meters

Time = 4.1 seconds

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 85/4.1

Speed = 20.73m/s

Therefore, the speed of the pitch is 20.73m/s.

You adjust the temperature so that a sound wave travels more quickly through the air. You increase the temperature from 30°C to
earnstyle [38]

The correct answer to the question is : D) 352.6 m/s.

CALCULATION :

As per the question, the temperature is increased from 30 degree celsius to 36 degree celsius.

We are asked to calculate the velocity of sound at 36 degree celsius.

Velocity of sound is dependent on temperature. More is the temperature, more is velocity of sound.

The velocity at this temperature is calculated as -

                            V = 331  + 0.6T m/s

                               = 331 + 0.6 × 36 m/s

                               = 331 + 21.6 m/s

                               = 352.6 m/s.

Here, T denotes the temperature of the surrounding.

Hence, velocity of the sound will be 352.6 m/s.

A rotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be cr
Grace [21]

Answer: 0.313 rad/s

Explanation:

The equation that relates the velocity V and the angular velocity \omega in the uniform circular motion is:

V=\omega.r   (1)

Where r=d/2=100m is the radius of the space station (with a diaeter of 200m) that describes the uniform circular motion.

Isolating \omega from (1):

\omega=\frac{V}{r}  (2)

On the other hand, we are told the “artificial gravity” produced by the cetripetal acceleration a_{c} is 9.8m/s^{2}, and is given by the following equation:

a_{c}=\frac{V^{2}}{r}   (3)

Isolating V:

V=\sqrt{a_{c}.r}   (4)

V=31.3049m/s   (5)

Substitutinng (5) in (2):

\omega=\frac{31.3049m/s}{100m}  (6)

\omega=0.313rad/s This is the angular velocity that would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9 9.8m/s^{2}.
