A mechanical wave<span> is a </span>wave<span> that is an oscillation of </span>matter<span>, and therefore transfers energy through a </span>medium.[1]<span> While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the </span>medium of transmission<span>—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy. This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia.</span>

The magnetic field of a long, straight, and closely-wound solenoid, inside the solenoid at a point near the center, is 0.645 T.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

B'=1.935 T

Explanation:

Given that

magnetic field ,B= 0.645 T

We know that magnetic filed in the solenoid is given as

$B=\mu _0 n\ I$

I=Current

n=Number of turn per unit length

μ0 =magnetic permeability

Now when the current increased by 3 factors

I'=3 I

Then the magnetic filed

$B'=\mu _0 n\ I'$

$B'=\mu _0 n\ (3I)$

B'=3 B

That is why

B' = 3 x 0.645 T

B'=1.935 T

Therefore the new magnetic filed will be 1.935 T.

Light from a laser strikes a diffraction grating that has 5500 lines per centimeter. The central and first-order maxima are sepa

WINSTONCH [101]

.Answer:

491.4 nm

Explanation:

The distance between central and first maxima is,

$y=0.455m$

And the distance between screen abnd grating is,

$L=1.62 m$

Now the angle can be find as,

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{L} \\\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{0.455}{1.62}) \\\theta=15.68^{\circ}$

Now the grating distance is,

$d=\frac{1}{5500} cm\\d=1.82\times 10^{-6}m$

Now with m=1 condition will become,

$\lambda=dsin\theta$

So,

$\lambda=1.82\times 10^{-6}m\times sin(15.68^{\circ})\\\lambda=1.82\times 10^{-6}m\times 0.270\\\lambda=491.4\times 10^{-9}m\\\lambda=491.4 nm$

Therefore the wavelength of laser light is 491.4 nm.
