A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle

that locates the first dark fringe when the width of the slit is (a) 3.8 × 10-4 m and (b) 3.8 × 10-6 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m

(a) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}

\theta=0.104^{\circ}

(b) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=10.47^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A satellite moves in a circular orbit at a constant speed v0 around Earth at a distance R from its center. The force exerted on
postnew [5]

Answer:

vT = v0/3

Explanation:

The gravitational force on the satellite with speed v0 at distance R is F = GMm/R². This is also equal to the centripetal force on the satellite F' = m(v0)²/R

Since F = F0 = F'

GMm/R² = m(v0)²/R

GM = (v0)²R  (1)

Also, he gravitational force on the satellite with speed vT at distance 3R is F1 = GMm/(3R)² = GMm/27R². This is also equal to the centripetal force on the satellite at 3R is F" = m(vT)²/3R

Since F1 = F'

GMm/27R² = m(vT)²/3R

GM = 27(vT)²R/3

GM = 9(vT)²R (2)

Equating (1) and (2),

(v0)²R = 9(vT)²R

dividing through by R, we have

9(vT)² = (v0)²

dividing through by 9, we have

(vT)² = (v0)²/9

taking square-root of both sides,

vT = v0/3

If the number of unemployed workers is 19 million, the number in the working-age population is 500 million, and the unemployment
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The percentage of the population that is actively participating in the labor market, whether working or looking for a job, is 95% of the total working age population.

Explanation:

If the number of unemployed in a country is 19 million people, and that number represents an unemployment rate of 4%, to know the total number of economically active people in the country we must perform the following calculation:

(19,000,000 / 4) x 100 = X

475,000,000 = economically active population

However, the country has a working-age population of 500 million people, of which only 475 are actively participating in the labor market. To know the percentage that these 475 million people represent, we must perform the following cross multiplication:

500 = 100

475 = X

(475 x 100) / 500 = X

95 = X

The percentage of the population that is actively participating in the labor market, whether working or looking for a job, is 95% of the total working age population.
