Answer:

<em>1.43 s.</em>

Explanation:

Using one of the equations of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt².......................... Equation 1

Where S = height of the cliff, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

<em>Note: When the rock begins to fall from the maximum height, u = 0 m/s, g = positive</em>

<em>Given: S = 10 m, u = 0 m/s</em>

<em>Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation,</em>

<em>10 = 0(t) + 1/2(9.8)(t²)</em>

<em>10 = 0 + 4.9t²</em>

<em>t² = 10/4.9</em>

<em>t² = 100/49</em>

<em>t = √(100/49)</em>

<em>t = 10/7</em>

<em>t = 1.43 s.</em>

<em>Thus the rock spend 1.43 s in air</em>

A diffraction pattern forms when light passes through a single slit. The wavelength of the light is 691 nm. Determine the angle
expeople1 [14]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=691\ nm=691\times 10^{-9}\ m

(a) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-4}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-4}}

\theta=0.104^{\circ}

(b) Slit width, a=3.8\times 10^{-6}\ m

The angle that locates the first dark fringe is given by :

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{a}

sin\theta=\dfrac{691\times 10^{-9}}{3.8\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=10.47^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.
