A flat screen is located 0.55 m away from a single slit. Light with a wavelength of 544 nm (in vacuum) shines through the slit a

nd produces a diffraction pattern. The width of the central bright fringe on the screen is 0.052 m. What is the width of the slit?

Answer:

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern is given as

Sinθ = mλ/ω

Where m=1,2,3,4....

Now, when m=1

Sinθ = λ/ω

Then,

ω = λ/Sinθ

The width of the central bright fringe is given as

y=2Ltanθ. From trigonometric

Then,

θ=arctan(y/2L)

Given that,

y=0.052m

L=0.55m

θ=arctan(0.052/2×0.55)

θ=arctan(0.0473)

θ=2.71°

Substituting this into

ω = λ/Sinθ

Since λ=544nm=544×10^-9m

Then,

ω = 544×10^-9/Si.2.71

ω = 1.15×10^-5m.

Which of the following statements is/are true? Check all that apply. Check all that apply. The total mechanical energy of a syst
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

1) True, 2) True, 3) False, 4) False, 5) False

Explanation:

1) True. Dissipative energy cannot be recovered, in general it is a form of heat

2) True. The dissipation can be by radiation, heat

3) False. Mechanical energy is divided into K and U but not in equal parts

4) False. When there are dissipative interactions, part of the mechanical energy is set in the form of heat, so its value decreases

5) False. Mechanical energy is the sum of those two energies

Which value is defined as the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants
Brut [27]

Answer:

Heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction (ΔH)

Explanation:

The heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction (ΔH) is the amount of heat energy that the system must release or absorb so that the temperature remains constant throughout the chemical reaction process. In other words, the heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction (ΔH) is the change in the enthalpy of a chemical reaction (the energy  absorbed or released into it) that occurs at a constant pressure.

Then, this energy can be observed in the following way:

Every substance has a quantity of energy stored in its links. When the energy contained in the reagents is greater than that contained in the products, the reaction is exothermic because energy release occurs. When the energy contained in the reagents is less than that contained in the products, an endothermic reaction occurs because energy absorption occurs.

That energy contained in the substances is called enthalpy (H).  

Then the enthalpy can be defined as the difference between the sum of the enthalpies of the products and the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants.

A Ford Taurus driven 12,000 miles a year will use about 650 gal of gasoline compared to a Ford Explorer that would use 850 gal.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

19 800 lbm of carbon dioxide more.

Explanation:

<u>Taurus</u>

Amount of gasoline used in 5 years = 650 ga/year * 5 years = 3250 ga

amount of carbon dioxide released = 19.8 lbm/ga * 3250 ga = 64 350 lbm

<u>Explorer</u>

Amount of gasoline used in 5 years = 850 ga/year * 5 years = 4250 ga

amount of carbon dioxide released = 19.8 lbm/ga * 4250 ga = 84 150 lbm

Extra amount of CO2 released = 84 150 lbm - 64 350 lbm = 19 800 lbm
