The ceiling of a large symphony hall is covered with acoustic tiles which have small holes that are 4.35 mm center to center. If

a person with a pupil of diameter 5.10 mm walks into the hall when it is illuminated by 550 nm wavelength light and they can just distinguish the individual holes, what is the distance between their eye and the ceiling?

Answer:

33.0 m

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength,\lambda=550nm=550\times 10^{-9} m

1nm=10^{-9} m

Diameter of pupil=d=5.1 mm=5.1\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

y=4.35 mm=4.35\times 10^{-3}m

By Rayleigh criteria

sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}

\frac{y}{L}=1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}

L=\frac{yd}{1.22\lambda}

Substitute the values

L=\frac{4.35\times 10^{-3}\times 5.1\times 10^{-3}}{1.22\times 550\times 10^{-9}}

L=33.0 m

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

1. Ultraviolet light (UV)

2. X-rays

3. Gamma-rays

Explanation:

Though there are different types of energy or electromagnetic waves with varying wavelengths, including the likes of Gamma X-rays, ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared radiation, and microwave radiation.

What is more certain is that the atmosphere blocked the high-energy waves from getting to the earth surface or biosphere such as Ultraviolet light (UV), X-rays and Gamma-rays

Find the acceleration that can result from a net force of 13 N exerted on a 3.6-kg cart. (Note: The unit N/kg is equivalent to m
STatiana [176]

Answer:

a = 3.61[m/s^2]

Explanation:

To find this acceleration we must remember newton's second law which tells us that the total sum of forces is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

In this case we have:

F = m*a\\\\m=mass = 3.6[kg]\\F = force = 13[N]\\13 = 3.6*a\\a = 3.61[m/s^2]
