Answer:

he correct answers are a, b

Explanation:

In the two-slit interference phenomenon, the expression for interference is

d sin θ= m λ constructive interference

d sin θ = (m + ½) λ destructive interference

in general this phenomenon occurs for small angles, for which we can write

tanθ = y / L

tan te = sin tea / cos tea = sin tea

sin θ = y / La

un

derestimate the first two equations.

Let's do the calculation for constructive interference

d y / L = m λ

the distance between maximum clos is and

y = (me / d) λ

this is the position of each maximum, the distance between two consecutive maximums

y₂-y₁ = (L 2/d) λ - (L 1 / d) λ₁ y₂ -y₁ = L / d λ

examining this equation if the wavelength decreases the value of y also decreases

the same calculation for destructive interference

d y / L = (m + ½) κ

y = [(m + ½) L / d] λ

again when it decreases the decrease the distance

the correct answers are a, b

The masses of the Moon and Earth are 7.35 x 1022 kg and 5.97 x 1024 kg, respectively. The strength of the gravitational force be

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Distance between centre of Earth and centre of Moon is 3.85 x 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The attractive force experienced by two mass objects is known as Gravitational force.

The gravitational force is determine by the relation:

$F=\frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{d^{2} }$ ....(1)

According to the problem,

Mass of Moon, m₁ = 7.35 x 10²² kg

Mass of Earth, m₂ = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Gravitational force experienced by them, F = 1.98 x 10²⁰ N

Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²

Substitute these values in equation (1).

$1.98\times10^{20} =\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times7.35\times10^{22}\times5.97\times10^{24} }{d^{2} }$

$d^{2}=\frac{2.93\times10^{37}}{1.98\times10^{20}}$

$d=\sqrt{1.48\times10^{17}}$

d = 3.85 x 10⁸ m

1. What are the units of : pressure, force , area

White raven [17]

Pressure- Pascal( $N/m^2$ )

Force- Newton

Area- $m^2$ (Square metre)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Pressure is force continuous force applied to an object. The applied force is always perpendicular to the surface of the object.
Force is a push or pulls on an object by an external body where it changes its state from rest to motion.
Force is said to have both magnitude and direction.
Area is the portion that shows the scale of a 2D form or configuration in the level. The covering area is its analog on the 2D surface of a 3D object.
