The two most prominent wavelengths in the light emitted by a hydrogen discharge lamp are 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). Light f

rom a hydrogen lamp illuminates a diffraction grating with 550 lines/mm , and the light is observed on a screen 1.7 m behind the grating.
What is the distance between the first-order red and blue fringes?

Answer:

Δd = 7.22 10⁻² m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the dispersion relationship of a diffraction grating

           d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

           tan θ = y / L

     

how the angles are small

           tant θ = sinθ  /cos θ = sin θ

we substitute  

           sin θ = y / L

          d y / L = m λ

          y = m λ L / d

let's use direct ruler rule to find the distance between two slits

           

If there are 500 lines in 1 me, what distance is there between two lines

         d = 2/500

        d = 0.004 me = 4 10⁻⁶ m

diffraction gratings are built so that most of the energy is in the first order of diffraction m = 1

let's calculate for each wavelength

λ = 656 nm = 656 10⁻⁹ m

         d₁ = 1 656 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 4 10⁻⁶

         d₁ = 2.788 10⁻¹ m

λ = 486 nm = 486 10⁻⁹ m

         d₂ = 1 486 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 4 10⁻⁶

         d₂ = 2.066 10⁻¹ m

the distance between the two lines is

         Δd = d1 -d2

         Δd = (2,788 - 2,066) 10⁻¹

         Δd = 7.22 10⁻² m

What does activation energy has to do with a chemical reaction.
asambeis [7]

Explanation:

Activation energy and reaction rate

The activation energy of a chemical reaction is closely related to its rate. Specifically, the higher the activation energy, the slower the chemical reaction will be. ... The released energy helps other fuel molecules get over the energy barrier as well, leading to a chain reaction.

Tudy the images about geologic time.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The first flowering plants appeared in the Mesozoic era, not the Paleozoic era.

Explanation:

The Mesozoic era was an era where numerous organisms started to develop in very unique and more advanced ways, both the animals and the plants. In the last period of the Mesozoic, the Cretaceous, the first flowering plants started to appear on the scene. This was revolutionary trait of the plants, and soon these plants started to occupy more and more space and became one of the dominant organisms on the planet. Other important evolution that took place in this period are the appearance of the dinosaurs and the mammals, both becoming the dominant animals on the planet, first the dinosaurs, after that the mammals.
