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

 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 helicopter has blades of length 4.0 m rotating at 3.0 rev/s in a horizontal plane.If the vertical component of the Earth’s mag
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Induced emf, \epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the helicopter, l = 4 m

Angular speed of the helicopter, \omega=3\ rev/s=18.84\ rad/s

The vertical component of the Earth’s magnetic field is, B=6.5\times 10^5\ T

We need to find the induced emf between the tip of a blade and the hub. The induced emf in terms of angular velocity of an rotating object is given by :

\epsilon=\dfrac{1}{2}B\omega l^2

\epsilon=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.5\times 10^5\times 18.84\times (4)^2

\epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts

So, the induced emf between the tip of a blade and the hub is \epsilon=9.79\times 10^7\ volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Your answer is: K.E = 8.3 J

Explanation:

If the height (h) = 169.2 meters (m) and the mass (m) is 0.005 kilograms (kg) the total energy will be kinetic energy which is equal to the potential energy.

K.E = P.E and also P.E equals to mgh

Then you substitute all the parameters into the formula  ↓

P.E = 0.005 × 9.81 × 169.2

P.E = 8.2908 J

So your answer is 8.2908 but if you round it is K.E = 8.3
