The buoyant force on a floating object is equal to the object's weight.

So the vertical forces on the object are balanced. That's a big part
of the reason why it's just sitting there and not accelerating up or down.

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of λ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength λ ? (b) W

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = λ

For D to be small,

We need to calculate the minimum width

Using formula of minimum width

$D\sin\theta=n\lambda$

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Where, D = width of slit

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Here, $\sin\theta$ should be maximum.

So. maximum value of $\sin\theta$ is 1

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{1\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=\lambda$

(b). If the minimum number is 50

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{50\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=50\lambda$

(c). If the minimum number is 1000

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{1000\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=1000\lambda$

Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

PLEASE HELP MEEE!!!

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Answer C is the correct option. water can be written as H₂O, which means that there are 2 Hydrogen atoms for every oxygen atom, therefore it will occupy more space than oxygen and push more. there is also one more possibility, if the splitting takes place in Hoffman's Voltameter then the Hydrogen will be close to the cathode as hydrogen is positive. Otherwise, option C is correct answer. Hope this Helps you!
