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.

Relaxing in a comfortable seat, reading a book and listening to

comfortable, your eyes get so heavy that you can't hold them open,
and you doze off.

Two uniform solid cylinders, each rotating about its central (longitudinal) axis, have the same mass of 3.56 kg and rotate with
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

(a) 3107.98 J

(b) 14530.6 J

Explanation:

mass, m = 3.56 kg

angular speed, ω = 179 rad/s

Moment of inertia of solid cylinder, I = 1/2 mr^2

where, m is the mass and r be the radius of the cylinder.

(a) radius, r = 0.330 m

I = 0.5 x 3.56 x 0.330 x 0.330 = 0.194 kgm^2

The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is given by

K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}

K = 0.5 x 0.194 x 179 x 179 = 3107.98 J

(b) radius, r = 0.714 m

I = 0.5 x 3.56 x 0.714 x 0.714 = 0.907 kgm^2

The formula for the rotational kinetic energy is given by

K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}

K = 0.5 x 0.907 x 179 x 179 = 14530.6 J
