Consider two diffraction gratings. One grating has 3000 lines per cm, and the other one has 6000 lines per cm. Both gratings are

illuminated with a beam of the same monochromatic light. Which grating produces the greater dispersion
Physics
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

<em>The 6000 lines per cm grating, will produces the greater dispersion .</em>

Explanation:

A diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic (usually one  that has ridges or rulings on their surface rather than dark lines) structure that splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions.

The directions of the light beam produced from a diffraction grating depend on the spacing of the grating, and also on the wavelength of the light.

For a plane diffraction grating, the angular positions of principle maxima is given by

(a + b) sin ∅n = nλ

where

a+b is the distance between two consecutive slits

n is the order of principal maxima

λ is the wavelength of the light

From the equation, we can see that without sin ∅ exceeding 1, increasing the number of lines per cm will lead to a decrease between the spacing between consecutive slits.

In this case, light of the same wavelength is used. If λ and n is held constant, then we'll see that reducing the distance between two consecutive slits (a + b) will lead to an increase in the angle of dispersion sin ∅. So long as the limit of sin ∅ not greater that one is maintained.

 why are waves faster in liquids and gases than in air
Alika [10]

Answer:

Sound travels faster in liquids than in gases because molecules are packed more closely together. This means that when the water molecules begin to vibrate, they quickly begin to collide with each other forming a rapidly moving compression wave. Sound travels over four times faster than in air

A 0.1m/s^2
T 2min (120 sec)

S=ut+0.5at^2
S=0(120 sec)+0.5(0.1m/s^2)(120 sec)^2
S=720m

Distance double 720m*2=1440m

V^2=u^2+2as
V^2=(0)^2+2(0.1 m/s^2)(1440m)
V^2=288
V= square root of 288=12 root 2=16.97 to 2 decimal places

If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta necessarily equal? explain.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

No the given statement is not necessarily true.

Explanation:

We know that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' is given by

K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Similarly the momentum is given by m\times v

For 2 particles with masses m_{1},m_{2}and moving with velocities v_{1},v_{2} respectively the respective kinetic energies is given by

K.E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}

K.E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}

Similarly For 2 particles with masses m_{1},m_{2}and moving with velocities v_{1},v_{2} respectively the respective momenta are given by

p_{1}=m_{1}\times v_{1}

p_{2}=m_{2}\times v_{2}

Now since it is given that the two kinetic energies are equal thus we have

\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}\\\\(m_{1}v_{1})\times v_{1}=(m_{2}v_{2})\times v_{2}\\\\p_{1}\times v_{1}=p_{2}\times v_{2}\\\\\therefore \frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}............(i)

Thus we infer that the moumenta are not equal since the ratio on right of 'i' is not 1 , and can be 1 only if the velocities of the 2 particles are equal which becomes a special case and not a general case.

Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if
Step2247 [10]

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.
