Coherent light that contains two wavelengths, 660 nm and 470 nm , passes through two narrow slits with a separation of 0.280 mm

and an interference pattern is observed on a screen which is a distance 5.50 m from the slits.

Answer:

λ1 = 0.0129m = 1.29cm

λ2 = 0.00923m = 0.92 cm

Explanation:

To find the distance between the first order bright fringe and the central peak, can be calculated by using the following formula:

y_m=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}    (1)

m: order of the bright fringe = 1

λ: wavelength of the light = 660 nm, 470 nm

D: distance from the screen = 5.50 m

d: distance between slits = 0.280mm = 0.280 *10^⁻3 m

ym: height of the m-th fringe

You replace the values of the variables in the equation (1) for each wavelength:

For λ = 660 nm = 660*10^-9 m

y_1=\frac{(1)(660*10^{-9}m)(5.50m)}{0.280*10^{-3}m}=0.0129m=1.29cm

For λ = 470 nm = 470*10^-9 m

y_1=\frac{(1)(470*10^{-9}m)(5.50m)}{0.280*10^{-3}m}=0.00923m=0.92cm

Density is a physical property that relates the mass of a substance to its volume. A. Calculate the density, in g/mL , of a liqu
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

A) 0.660 g/ml

B) 1.297 ml

C) 0.272 g

Explanation:

Every substance, body or material has mass and volume, however the mass of different substances occupy different volumes.  This is where density D appears as a  physical characteristic property of matter that establishes a relationship between the mass m of a body or substance and the volume V it occupies:

D=\frac{m}{V} (1)

Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:

<h2 /><h2>Answer A:</h2>

Here the mass is m=0.155g and th volume V=0.000235L=0.235mL

Solving (1) with these values:

D=\frac{0.155g}{0.235mL} (2)

D=0.660g/mL (3)

<h2>Answer B:</h2>

In this case the mass of a sample is m=4.71g and its density is D=3.63g/mL.

Isolating V from (1):

V=\frac{m}{D} (4)

V=\frac{4.71g}{3.63g/mL} (5)

V=1.297mL (5)

<h2>Answer C:</h2>

In this case the volume of a sample is V=0.293mL and its density is D=0.930g/mL.

Isolating m from (1):

m=D.V (6)

m=(0.930g/mL)(0.293mL) (7)

m=0.272g (8)

Parker completed 4 laps around a 400 m track. He ran for a total of 30 mins. What is the
Over [174]

Answer:

Distance: 1600 m Displacement: 0

Explanation:

The distance is because He ran 400 meters 4 times getting 1600 m

4*400=1600

The displacement is 0 because displacement is the total distnce away from the starting point and since he ran laps around the track in the end he ended up in the same spot as last time.

Answer:

You will fly forward in the bus until you hit something.
