What from the following list of statements about vectors is definitely true? (section 3.3) The magnitude of a vector can be smal

ler than length of one of its components. Magnitude of a vector is positive if it is directed in +x and negative if is is directed in -X direction. Magnitude of a vector can be zero if only one of components is zero. If vector A has bigger component along x direction than vector B, it immediately means, the vector A has bigger magnitude than vector B. Magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of a vector are zero.

Answer:

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of a vector are zero."

Explanation:

"The magnitude of a vector can be smaller than length of one of its components."

Wrong, the magnitude of a vector is at least equal to the length of a component. This is because of the Pythagoras theorem. It can never be smaller.

"Magnitude of a vector is positive if it is directed in +x and negative if is is directed in -X direction."

False. Magnitude of a vector is always positive.

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero if only one of components is zero."

Wrong. For the magnitude of a vector to be zero, all components must be zero.

"If vector A has bigger component along x direction than vector B, it immediately means, the vector A has bigger magnitude than vector B."

Wrong. The magnitude of a vector depends on all components, not only the X component.

"Magnitude of a vector can be zero only if all components of a vector are zero."

True.

Using Rayleigh's criterion, what is the smallest separation between two pointlike objects that a person could clearly resolve at
atroni [7]

 Answer:

y = 52.44 10⁻⁶  m

Explanation:

It is Rayleigh's principle that two points are resolved if the maximum of the diffraction pattern of one matches the minimum the diffraction pattern of the other

Based on this principle we must find the angle of the first minimum of the diffraction expression

         a sin θ= m λ

The first minimum occurs for m = 1

       sin θ =  λ  / a

Now let's use trigonometry the object is a distance L = 0.205 m

        tan θ = y / L

Since the angles are very small, let's approximate

        tan θ = sin θ/cos θ = sin  θ

        sin θ = y / L

We substitute in the diffraction equation

         y / L =  λ  / a

         y =  λ  L / a

Let's calculate

        y = 550 10⁻⁹ 0.205 / 2.15 10⁻³

        y = 52.44 10⁻⁶ m
