What principle is responsible for light spreading as it passes through a narrow slit?

Physics
1 answer:
SVETLANKA909090 [29]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D. diffraction

Explanation:

The Phenomenon responsible for light spreading as it passes through a narrow slit is called diffraction.

Diffraction:Mechanism by which a light beam or other wave field is dispersed as a result of passing through a narrow aperture or across an edge usually followed by interference between the generated wave forms.

The effect of diffraction is significant if the width of the narrow aperture or slit is similar to the linear dimension of the wavelength incident wave. A cloud's "silver lining" is an example of diffraction in nature.

Which of the following best describes the term thermal energy? Choose one: A. The energy of an object in motion due to its mass
o-na [289]

Answer:

The correct option is (d).

Explanation:

  • The energy a particle has because of its charge and its position relative to another particle is called thermal energy.
  • It is the energy that comes from heat. This is generated by the movement of the particles in an object.
  • Thermal energy is the energy an object or system has due to the movement of particles within.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

A negatively charged particle is moving to the right, directly above a wire have a current flowing to the right. In which direct
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

C) upward

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the right-hand rule.

First of all, we notice at the location of the negatively charged particle (above the wire), the magnetic field produced by the wire points out of the page (because the current is to the right, so by using the right hand, putting the thumb to the right (as the current) and wrapping the other fingers around it, we see that the direction of the field above the wire is out of the page).

Now we can apply the right hand rule to the charged particle:

- index finger: velocity of the particle, to the right

- middle finger: direction of the magnetic field, out of the page

- thumb: direction of the force, downward --> however, the charge is negative, so we must reverse the direction --> upward

Therefore, the direction of  the magnetic force is upward.

What is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?
Art [367]

CORRECT ANSWER:

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

The complete question from book is

According to Figure 9.6, what is a key difference between cell signaling by a cell-surface receptor and cell signaling by an intracellular receptor?

a- Cell-surface receptors bind polar signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind nonpolar signaling molecules.

b- Signaling molecules that bind to cell-surface receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the cytoplasm; signaling molecules that bind to intracellular receptors lead to cellular responses restricted to the nucleus.

c- Cell-surface receptors bind to specific signaling molecules; intracellular receptors bind any signaling molecule.

d- Cell-surface receptors typically bind to signaling molecules that are smaller than those bound by intracellular receptors.

e- None of the other answer options is correct.

We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a 10.0 kg kg solid cylinder with diameter of 38.0 cm cm . The cylinder rotates with
amm1812

Answer: 14.16

Explanation:

Given

d = 38cm

r = d/2 = 38/2 = 19cm = 0.19m

K.E = 510J

m = 10kg

I = 1/2mr²

I = 1/2*10*0.19²

I = 0.18kgm²

When it has 510J of Kinetic Energy then,

510J = 1/2Iω²

ω² = 1020/I

ω² = 1020/0.18

ω² = 5666.67

ω = √5666.67 = 75.28 rad/s

Velocity is the block, v = ωr

V = 75.28 * 0.19

V = 14.30m/s

The "effective mass" M of the system is

M = (14.0 + ½*10.0) kg = 19.0 kg

The motive force would be

F = ma

F = 14 * 9.8

F = 137.2N

so that the acceleration would be

a = F/m

a = 137.2/19

a = 7.22m/s²

Finally, using equation of motion.

V² = u² + 2as

14.3² = 0 + 2*7.22*s

204.49 = 14.44s

s = 204.49/14.44

s = 14.16m
