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

In a binary-star system that produces a nova, the white dwarf pulls matter from the companion star. The matter forms an accretio
Studentka2010 [4]

As a head-up, it is important to notice that a white dwarf only shines thanks to the stored energy and light, because a white dwarf doesn't have any hydrogen left to perform nuclear fusion.

Now the process:

First, the white dwarf accumulates all the extracted matter from its companion, onto its own surface. This extra matter increases the white dwarf's temperature and density.

After a while, the star reaches about 10 million K, so nuclear fusion can begin. The hydrogen that has been "stolen" from the other star and accumulated in the white dwarf's surface it's used for the fusion, dramatically increasing the star's brightness for a short time, causing what we know as a Nova.

As this fuel its quickly burnt out or blown into space, the star goes back to its natural white dwarf state. Since the white dwarf nor the companion star are destroyed in this process, it can happen countless of times during their lifespan.

Calculate the speed for a car that went a distance of 125 meters in 2 seconds time.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

<h2>62.5 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The speed of the car can be found by using the formula

s =  \frac{d}{t} \\

d is the distance

t is the time

From the question we have

s =  \frac{125}{2}  = 62.5 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>62.5 m/s</h3>

Hope this helps you
