Answer:

The Sun is a main-sequence star, and, as such, generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. In its core, the Sun fuses 620 million metric tons of hydrogen and makes 616 million metric tons of helium each second.

How did mount st. Helen get its name

steposvetlana [31]

The modern name, Mount St. Helen's, was given to the volcanic peak in 1792 by seafarer and explorer Captain George Vancouver of the British Royal Navy. He named it in honor of fellow countryman Alleyne Fitzherbert, who held the title 'Baron St. Helen's.

A uniform solid sphere has mass m= 7 kg and radius r= 0. 4 m. What is its moment of inertia about an axis tangent to its surface

lilavasa [31]

The moment of inertia of a uniform solid sphere is equal to 0.448 $kgm^2$ .

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Mass of sphere = 7 kg.

Radius of sphere = 0.4 meter.

<h3>How to calculate moment of inertia.</h3>

Mathematically, the moment of inertia of a solid sphere is given by this formula:

$I=\frac{2}{5} mr^2$

<u>Where:</u>

I is the moment of inertia.

m is the mass.

r is the radius.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$I=\frac{2}{5} \times 7 \times 0.4^2\\\\I=2.8 \times 0.16$

I = 0.448 $kgm^2$ .

Due to the wave nature of light, light shined on a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern? Green light (520 nm) is shine

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Yes, it will produce a diffraction pattern.

a. 3.9 mm b. 1.95 mm

Explanation:

The light shined from a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern because, the wavefront act as wavelets which generates its own wave according to Huygens principle. This therefore causes the diffraction pattern.

Given

wavelength of green light, λ = 520 nm = 520 × 10⁻⁹ m = 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ m

width of slit, d = 0.440 mm = 0.44 × 10⁻³ m = 4.4 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of slit from central maximum , D = 1.65 m

Distance of first minimum from central maximum, y = ?

a. The relationship between the slit width and wavelength is given by [tex} dsinθ = mλ [/tex]where d = slit width, θ = angular distance from central maximum, λ = wavelength of light and m = ±1, ±2, ±3...

The relationship between y and D is given by $tanθ = y/D$

Since θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ

so, dθ = mλ ⇒ θ = mλ/d = y/D

Therefore, y = mλD/d

Now, for the first minimum above the slit, m = +1 and for the first minimum below the slit, m = -1. So, y₁ = λD/d and y₋₁ = -λD/d. So, the width of the central maximum Δy is the difference between the first minima below and above the central maximum. So, Δy = y₁ - y₋₁ = λD/d -(-λD/d) = 2λD/d

Substituting the values from above, Δy= 2 × 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴ = 3900 × 10⁻⁶ m = 3.9 × 10⁻³ m = 3.9 mm

b. The first order fringe is the fringe located between the first minimum and the second minimum. From dsinθ = mλ and tanθ = y/D when θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ. So, y = mλD/d. Let m= 1 and m=2 be the first and second minima respectively. So,y₁ = λD/d and y₂ = 2λD/d. The difference Δy₁ = y₂ - y₁ is the width of the first order fringe. Therefore, Δy₁ = 2λD/d - λD/d= λD/d. Substituting the values from above, we have

λD/d= 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴= 1.95 × 10⁻³ m = 1.95 mm
