Coherent light with wavelength 460 nm falls on a pair of slits. On a screen 1.86 m away, the distance between dark fringes is 3.

90 mm. What is the slit separation?

Answer:

The split separation d = 2.12 * 10^-4 m

Explanation:

Mathematically, for a double split interference, the relation between separation of slit and fringe width is given by the formula;

d = Rλ/Δy

Where R represents the distance of screen from the slit given as 1.86m , λ is the wavelength of incident light given as 460 nm ,

Δy is the fringe width given as 3.90 nm

plugging these values into the equation, we have;

d = (1.86)(460 * 10^-9)/(3.9 * 10^-3)

d = 2.12 * 10^-4 m

Can anyone please explain this point with an example. I have presentation tomorrow.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Explanation:

Efficiency is a way of describing the amount of useful ​output​ a process or machine can generate as a percentage of the ​input​ required to make it go. In other words, it compares how much energy is used to do work versus how much is lost or wasted to the environment. The more efficient the machine, the less energy wasted.

For example, if a heat engine is able to turn 75 percent of the fuel it receives into motion, while 25 percent is lost as heat in the process, it would be 75 percent efficient. Out of the original 100 percent of the fuel, 75 percent was output as useful work.  

the equation:

energy efficiency =useful output energy/total input energy

When you push on an object such as a wrench, a steel pry bar, or even the outer edge of a door, you produce a torque equal to th
Korvikt [17]
<span>Since youc oncetrate all your force directly towards the moment arm it means that you push  it at an angle  of your force is directed to the left or the right and I bet that it must be 90</span> degrees to the bar. Obviuosly, if you are about to push it you will do it  straight up but not in a zig zag way. In other words, it should be perpendicular to the arm because the<span> torque can be produced only if force is applied at a constant index (90).
Hope that helps! Regards.</span>

An astronaut drops a rock on the surface of an asteroid.The rock is released from rest at a height of 0.86 m above the ground, a
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

a_y=0.92m/s^2

Explanation:

To solve this problem we use the formula for accelerated motion:

y=y_0+v_{y0}t+\frac{a_yt^2}{2}

We will take the initial position as our reference (y_0=0m) and the downward direction as positive. Since the rock departs from rest we have:

y=\frac{a_yt^2}{2}

Which means our acceleration would be:

a_y=\frac{2y}{t^2}

Using our values:

a_y=\frac{2(0.86m)}{(1.37s)^2}=0.92m/s^2

Which statementsabout a neutral atom are correct? Check all that apply.
KIM [24]

Answer:

1, 2, 4, 5 are correct

Explanation:

1) This is true because In a neutral atom, the number of positive charges (protons) is equal to the number of negative charges (electrons).

2) This is true because the mass of the atom which is made up of the protons and neutrons, is located in the tiny nucleus.

3) This is not true because the positively charged particles in the nucleus are called protons.

4) This is true because electrons move around the nucleus in diffuse areas known as orbitals.

5) This is true because opposite charges attract each other. And electron is a negative charge.

6) This is not true because the radius of the electron cloud is normally 10,000 times larger than the radius of the nucleus.
