Answer:

λ = 864 nm

Explanation:

To find the wavelength of the light you use the following formula, which determines the position of the m-th fringe in an interference pattern:

y_m=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}   (1)

ym: position of a bright fringe

D: distance from the slits to the screen = 3,7 m

d: distance between slits = 0,2mm = 0,2 *10^-3 m

m: order of the fringe

λ: wavelength of the light

You have the distance from the central peak to the third fringe (0,048m). Then, you can use the equation (1) with m=3 and solve for the wavelength:

y_3=\frac{3\lambda D}{d}\\\\\lambda=\frac{dy_3}{3D}=\frac{(0,2*10^{-3}m)(0,048m)}{3(3,7m)}=8,64*10^{-7}m\\\\\lambda=864*10^{-9}m=864nm

henc, the wavelength of the light is 864nm

The ink drops have a mass m = 1.00×10^−11 kg each and leave the nozzle and travel horizontally toward the paper at velocity v =
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

9.98 × 10⁻⁹ C

Explanation:

mass, m = 1.00 × 10⁻¹¹ kg

Velocity, v = 23.0 m/s

Length of plates D₀ = 1.80 cm = 0.018 m

Magnitude of electric field, E = 8.20 × 10⁴ N/C

drop is to be deflected a distance d = 0.290 mm = 0.290 × 10⁻³ m

density of the ink drop = 1000 kg/m^3

Now,

Time = \frac{\textup{Distance}}{\textup{Velocity}}

or

Time = \frac{\textup{0.016}}{\textup{23}}

or

Time = 6.9 × 10⁻⁴ s

Now, force due to the electric field, F = q × E

where, q is the charge

Also, Force = Mass × acceleration

q × E = 1.00 × 10⁻¹¹ × a

or

a = \frac{q\times8.20\times10^4}{1\times10^{-11}}

Now from the Newton's equation of motion

d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where,  

d is the distance

u is the initial speed  

a is the acceleration

t is the time

or

0.290\times10^{-3}=0\times(6.9\times10^{-4})+\frac{1}{2}\times(\frac{q\times8.20\times10^4}{1\times10^{-11}})\times(6.9\times10^{-4})^2

or

q = 9.98 × 10⁻⁹ C

Korolek [52]
The statement is false. Vectors are used to solve projectile motion problems because they allow the analysis of one direction at a time for two-dimensional motion. Scalar quantities can be used to analyze linear motion problem, but not projectile motion.

A rubber band has potential energy of 5 J. If the spring constant of the rubber band is 50 N/m, what is the displacement of the
Valentin [98]
To determine the displacement, since we are given the potential energy, we use the equation for potential energy. For a spring, it is one-half the product of the spring constant and the square of the displacement. We do as follows:

PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m

Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.
