A certain pair of slits are separated by a distance d. Monochromatic coherent light falls on this pair of slits and the interfer

ence pattern is observed on a screen. The separation distance between adjacent bright fringes near the center of that interference pattern on the screen is found to be 2.0 mm. Then the slits are replaced by another pair of slits; these slits are separated by a distance one-half that of the original pair. The interference pattern is again observed. What is the new separation distance between adjacent bright fringes

Answer:

The new separation distance between adjacent bright fringes will be <u>4 mm</u>

Explanation:

Since, the distance between adjacent bright fringes is given by the formula:

Δx₁ = λL/d = 2 mm  -------- eqn (1)

where,

Δx = Distance between adjacent bright fringes

λ = wavelength of light = constant for both cases

L = Distance between the slits and the screen

d = slit separation

Now, for the second case:

Slit Separation = d/2

Therefore,

Δx₂ = λL/(d/2)

Δx₂ = 2(λL/d)

using eqn (1), we get:

Δx₂ = 2 Δx₁

Δx₂ = 2(2 mm)

<u>Δx₂ = 4 mm</u>

Explain how birds, bats, insects, airplanes, rockets, and hot air balloons achieve their flight.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The birds, bats, insects, airplanes, rockets, and hot air balloons achieve their flight by creating high pressure below the aircraft and low pressure above it

<h3>What are living and non-living things?</h3>

They both consist of fundamentally simple building blocks. They are composed of substances or mass. Atmospheric and molecular building blocks make up the world.

In order to create high pressure below the aircraft and low pressure above it, airplanes employ specially built wings.

The wing receives sufficient airflow past it to counteract the weight and drag of the aircraft by utilizing a device to provide thrust, such as a propeller.

High pressure underneath the aircraft and low pressure above it is produced by specially constructed wings used by airplanes.

The wing receives enough airflow through it by the use of a thrust-generating device, like a propeller, to overcome the weight and drag of the aircraft.

The differences between how living and non-living things fly;

1. Moving both living and non-living objects consumes energy. Flying animals utilize their wings to create both lift and propulsion by moving them in relation to the body.

In contrast to most air vehicles, where the components that generate lift, wings, and thrust engines or propellers are distinct, the wings stay stationary.

Animal aviators like birds as well as natural parachuters like patagial as well as human inventions like aircraft as well as rockets that can power spacecraft and spaceplanes are just a few examples of the many things that can fly.

Hence, birds, bats, insects, airplanes, rockets, and hot air balloons achieve their flight by creating high pressure below the aircraft and low pressure above it

Which best describes the law of conservation of mass? The coefficients in front of the chemicals in the reactants should be base
likoan [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. when both sides of the reactants and the products are equal

like h+oh ⇒ h20

hydrogen has 2 atoms on both sides and oxygen  has one  on both sides

2. no they are put to balance the equation

3. nope they are treated equally as all the other states

4. no if u are talking about a formula unit like NaCl for example it is aqueous not each element taken on its own if u are talking about just elements then i said before all states are treated equally

5. yup

In medieval warfare, one of the greatest technological advancement was the trebuchet. The trebuchet was used to sling rocks into
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

2) a_y= -g  3) vₓ=constant v_y = v_{oy} - g t, 4)  vₓ = v₀ₓ - ax t

5)  changes the horizontal speed, should change range

7) changes the vertical speed change the maximum height

Explanation:

1) After reading your long writing, we are going to solve the exercise, in the attachment you can see the different vectors.

2) The acceleration vectors are vertical and directed downwards due to the attraction of the Earth (gravity force) this force is constant, on the x axis there is no acceleration

3) the velocity vectors on the x-axis are constant because there are no relationships and the y-axis changes value according to the expression

           v_y = v_{oy} - gt

at the point of maximum height, vy = 0 is equal to the maximum height

4) For someone to change the horizontal acceleration we must assume a friction with the air, in this case they relate it would be in the opposite direction to the horizontal speed

In the graph it would be directed to the left, therefore the velocity would be

           vₓ = v₀ₓ - ax t

5 and 6) If someone changes the horizontal speed, they should change the range of the shot for greater horizontal speed, the rock goes further.

the equations of motion are

           x = v₀ₓ t

           y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

7) If someone changes the vertical speed change the maximum height, but not the scope of the shot, for higher speed higher maximum height,

the equations of motion are the same.
