Young's experiment is performed with light of wavelength 502 nm from excited helium atoms. Fringes are measured carefully on a s

creen 1.20 m away from the double slit, and the center of the 20th fringe (not counting the central bright fringe) is found to be 10.2 mm from the center of the central bright fringe. What is the separation of the two slits?

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of light λ = 502 nm

screen distance D = 1.2 m

width of one fringe = 10.2 mm / 20

= .51 mm

fringe width = λ D / a  , a is separation of slits

Puting the values given

.51 x 10⁻³ =  502 x 10⁻⁹ x 1.2 / a

a = 502 x 10⁻⁹ x 1.2 / .51 x 10⁻³

= 1181.17 x 10⁻⁶ m

1.18 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.18 mm .

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The time period of geosynchronous satellite must be equal to T .

The radius of its orbit will be (  R+ h )

orbital velocity  V₀ =  \sqrt{\frac{GM}{( R+h)} }

Time period T = 2π( R + h ) / V₀

= 2π( R + h ) x \sqrt{\frac{( R+h)}{GM } }

\frac{T^\frac{2}{3}(GM)^\frac{1}{3}  }{(2\pi )^\frac{2}{3} } = R +h

h = \frac{T^\frac{2}{3}(GM)^\frac{1}{3}  }{(2\pi )^\frac{2}{3} } - R.

A point P1 is located by the vector A = (3.74)î + (1.64)ĵ and a point P2 is located by the vector B = (1.60)î + (3.66)ĵ. The vec
seropon [69]

Answer:

\vec{C} = ( \ - 2.14 \ , \ 2.02 \ )

Explanation:

The vector that point from point P1 to point P2 its found simply by taking the vector at which point P2 its located and subtracting the vector at which point P1 its located:

\vec{C} = \vec{B} - \vec{A}

So:

\vec{C} = ( \ 1.60 \ , \ 3.66 \ ) - ( \ 3.74 \ , \ 1.64 \ )

\vec{C} = ( \ 1.60 \ - \ 3.74 \ , \ 3.66 \ - \ 1.64 \ )

\vec{C} = ( \ - 2.14 \ , \ 2.02 \ )

Earth's gravitational pull just got threetimes stronger! what happens to your weight/
OLga [1]
Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.

Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.

The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.

If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.

What is a likely consequence of preventing prescribed burns to forest ecosystems?
liraira [26]

The forest ecosystem will regain back its natural ecology compared to burning of the forest and other illegal activities done to the forest. And also, some of the animals living in that forest will live and those that are endangered will not be threatened.
