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

qaws [65]

Answer:

288.0 units; that is the electrostatic force of attraction become quadruple of its initial value.

Explanation:

If all other parameters are constant,

Electrostatic Force of attraction ∝ (1/r²)

F = (k/r²) = 72.0

If r₁ = r/2, what happens to F₁

F₁ = (k/r₁²) = k/(r/2)² = (4k/r²) = 4F = 4 × 72 = 288.0 units

oee [108]

The amount of solute is increased, and the conductivity of the solution is increased

Explanation:

The ability of a solution to conduct electricity is conductivity.The more concentrated a solution is the higher the conductivity.This is because the concentration of ions will increase.Increasing solute increases the concentration of a solution thus rising the conductivity.
