Light shines through a single slit whose width is 5.7 x 10-4 m. A diffraction pattern is formed on a flat screen located 4.0 m a

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

$\lambda = 570\ nm$

Explanation:

Given,

Width of slit, W = 5.7 x 10⁻⁴ m

Distance between central bright fringe, L = 4 m

distance between central bright fringe and first dark fringe, y = 4 mm

Diffraction angle

$tan \theta = \dfrac{y}{L}$

$tan \theta = \dfrac{4}{4\times 10^3}$

$\theta = 0.0572$

Now.

$W sin \theta = m \lambda$

m = 1

$5.7 \times 10^{-4} \times sin (0.0572) = 1 \times \lambda$

$\lambda = 569.99 \times 10^{-9}\ m$

$\lambda = 570\ nm$

A star is a ___ that emits energy produced by nuclear reactions in its interior.

grigory [225]

A star is a large ball of gas that emits energy produced by nuclear reactions in the star's interior. Much of this energy is emitted as electromagnetic radiation, including visible light. Light emitted by stars enables other objects in the universe to be seen by reflection.

What is the anomalous expansivity of water

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The anomalous expansion of water is an abnormal property of water whereby it expands instead of contracting when the temperature goes from 4o C to 0o C, and it becomes less dense. The density is maximum at 4 degree centigrade and decreases below that temperature as shown in graph.

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. What is the average speed for the tri

Anettt [7]

Answer:

270 mi/h

Explanation:

Given that,

To the south,

v₁ = 300 mi/h, t₁ = 2 h

We can find distance, d₁

$d_1=v_1\times t_1\\\\d_1=300\times 2\\\\d_1=600\ \text{miles}$

To the north,

v₂ = 250 mi/h, d₂ = 750 miles

We can find time, t₂

$t_2=\dfrac{d_2}{v_2}\\\\t_2=\dfrac{750\ \text{miles}}{250\ \text{mi/h}}\\\\t_2=3\ h$

Now,

Average speed = total distance/total time

$V=\dfrac{d_1+d_2}{t_1+t_2}\\\\V=\dfrac{600+750}{2+3}\\\\V=270\ \text{mi/h}$

Hence, the average speed for the trip is 270 mi/h.
