Answer:

<h2> 1.643*10⁻⁴cm</h2>

Explanation:

In a single slit experiment, the distance on a screen from the centre point is expressed as y = \frac{\delta m \lambda d}{a} where;

\delta m is the first two diffraction minima = 1

\lambda is light wavelength

d is the distance of diffraction pattern from the screen

a is the width of the slit

Given \lambda = 460-nm = 460*10⁻⁹m

d = 5.0mm = 5*10⁻³m

a = 1.4mm = 1.4*10⁻³m

Substituting this values into the formula above to get width of the central maximum y;

y = 1*460*10⁻⁹ * 5*10⁻³/1.4*10⁻³

y = 2300*10⁻¹²/1.4*10⁻³

y = 1642.86*10⁻⁹

y = 1.643*10⁻⁶m

Converting the final value to cm,

since 100cm = 1m

x = 1.643*10⁻⁶m

x = 1.643*10⁻⁶ * 100

x = 1.643*10⁻⁴cm

Hence, the width of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern on a screen 5.0 mm away is  1.643*10⁻⁴cm

The strength of the force of friction depends on which two factors?
Stolb23 [73]

Options A and D are correct. The strength of the force of friction depends on the objects' sizes and weights and the heat generated by the friction and the types of surfaces involved.

<h3 /><h3>What is the friction force?</h3>

It is a type of opposition force acting on the surface of the body that tries to oppose the motion of the body. its unit is Newton (N).

Mathematically, it is defined as the product of the coefficient of friction and normal reaction.

On resolving the given force and acceleration in the different components and balancing the equation gets. Components in the x-direction.

The strength of the force of friction depends on the two factors, as;

A. The objects' sizes and weights.

D. The heat generated by the friction and the types of surfaces involved.

Hence, options A and D are correct.

Which sentence in the passage can be used to conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet and not a planet?
Lelu [443]
Eris is slightly more massive than Pluto. However, both of them are smaller than Earth's Moon.
This should conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet.

What type of relationship exists between the length of a wire and the resistance, if all other factors remain the same? A. Resis
ZanzabumX [31]
<h3>Answer</h3>

(A) Resistance is directly related to length.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Formula for resistance

R = p(length) / A

where R = resistance

           p = resistivity(material of wire)

           A = cross sectional area

So it can be seen that resistance depends upon 3 factors that are length of wire , resistivity of wire and the cross sectional area of the wire.

If two of the factors, resistivity and cross sectional area, are kept constant then the resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire.

<h3> R ∝ length</h3>

This means that the resistance of the wire increases with the increase in length of the wire and decreases with the decrease of length of the wire.
