The spreading of waves behind an aperture is more for long wavelengths and less for short wavelengths.Less for long wavelengths

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Increase in wavelength of incident wave also increases the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The diffraction occurs when light bends in the same medium. The bending is the result of light waves "squeezing" through small openings or "curving" around sharp edges.

- Moreover, waves diffract best when the size of the diffraction opening (or grting or groove) corresponds to the size of the wavelength. Hence, light diffracts more through small openings than through larger openings.

- The formula for diffraction shows a direct relationship between the angle of diffraction (theta) and wavelength:

d sin (θ) = m λ

Where,

λ : Wavelength , θ : The spread angle , d : Slit opening or grating

- We can see that the wavelength λ and spread angle θ are related proportionally. So if we increase the wavelength of incident wave we also increase the spread angle or spread of the interference pattern.

Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

$V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }$

Where

V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

R - Radius of the second object

G - Gravitational constant

h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

$1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R$

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Convert 400 mm to m using the method of dimensional analysis

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

To convert 400 mm to m you can apply the formula [m] = [mm] / 1000; use 400 for mm. Thus, the conversion 400 mm m is the result of dividing 400 by 1000. 0.4

A solution is prepared by dissolving 49.3 g of KBr in enough water to form 473 mL of solution. Calculate the mass % of KBr in th

son4ous [18]

Answer:

9.31%

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of KBr=49.3 g

Volume of solution=473 mL

Density of solution =1.12g/mL

We have to find the mass% of KBr.

Mass = $volume\times density$

Using the formula

Mass of solution= $1.12\times 473=529.76 g$

Mass % of KBr= $\frac{mass\;of\;KBr}{Total\;mass\;of\;solution}\times 100$

Mass % of KBr= $\frac{49.3}{529.76}\times 100$

Mass % of KBr=9.31%

Hence, the mass% of KBr=9.31%

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. Its distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the e

andrew-mc [135]

Average velocity = (x( 2.08 ) - x ( 0 )) / ( 2.08 s - 0 s )
x ( 2.08 ) = 1.42 * 2.08² - 0.05 * 2.08³ =
= 1.42 * 4.3264 - 0.443456 = 6.143484 - 0.443456 ≈ 5.7 m
v = ( 5.7 m - 0 m) / (2.08 s - 0 s ) = 5.7 / 2.08 m/s = 27.4 m/s
