The two most prominent wavelengths in the light emitted by a hydrogen discharge lamp are 656(red) and 486 (blue). Light from a h

ydrogen lamp illuminates a diffraction grating with 500 lines per mm, and the light is observed on a screen 1.50 behind the grating. What is the distance between the first-order red and blue fringes?

Answer:

0.145 m

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

wavelength of red light, λred = 656 nm = 656 × 10⁻⁹ m

wavelength of blue light, λblue = 486 nm = 486 × 10⁻⁹ m

line density = 500 per mm

length, L = 1.3 m

d = 1 mm / 500 lines

= 0.002 mm  = 0.002 × 10⁻⁶ m

m = 1      [for the first order bright fringe]

Now,

The positions can be determined by using the formula

θ = \sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})

& y = Ltan(θ)

thus,

θred = \sin^{-1}(\frac{1\times656\times10^{-9}}{0.002\times{10^{-6}}})

=  19.15°

yred = Ltan(θred)

= (1.5) × tan(19.15°)

= 0.521 m

similarly,

θblue = \sin^{-1}(\frac{1\times486\times10^{-9}}{0.002\times{10^{-6}}})

= 14.1°

yblue = Ltan(θblue)

= 1.3 × tan(14.1°)

= 0.376 m

Hence,

distance between the first-order red and blue fringes

=  0.521 m  - 0.376 m

= 0.145 m

An ant crawls 50 cm to the right, stops, and then crawls 30 cm to the left. Calculate the distance that the ant travels, and cal
borishaifa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

If the ant was to crawl 50cm to the right, then come back 30 cm, then the total distance walked would be <u>80cm</u>.

- Combine 50cm and 30cm to get 80 cm.

For displacement, the answer is <u>20 cm.</u>

- When calculating displacement, you use the initial (starting) distance. and subtract that from the final distance, giving you the displacement, or the amount traveled from the starting point to the final point if you were to make a straight line from the starting point to end point. (0 to 50, then back 30 the same direction, so subtract 30 from 50 to get 20)

A larger object is made of two balls separated by a massless rigid rod that is 1.5 m long. The mass of the red ball at one end i
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The speed of the 1 kg red ball 8.04 m/s .

Explanation:

Given :

Separation between rods , d = 1.5 m .

Mass of the red ball is 1 kg .

Mass of the orange ball is 5.7 kg .

Angular velocity , \omega=1\ rev/s = 2\pi\ rad/s .

Now , distance of center of mass  from red ball is :

r =\dfrac{0\times 1+1.5\times 5.7}{1+5.7}\\\\r = 1.28\ m

We know , speed is given by :

v=\omega r\\\\v=2 \times \pi \times  1.28\\\\v=8.04\ m/s

Hence , this is the required solution .

A teacher did an experiment to show the movement of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. The experimental set-up is shown be
ELEN [110]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are unable to move from their initial place but they can vibrate at their mean position.

Hence, in solid substances the molecules have low kinetic energy.

Whereas in liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.

In gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.

Hence, gases are able to expand more rapidly as compared to liquids.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options solid = low; liquid = medium; gas = high, combination of the state of matter and the corresponding dryer speed is correct.
