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

How much thermal energy is needed to melt 1.25 kg of water at its melting point? Use Q = masslaten heat of fusion.
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Latent heatnof fusion = 417.5 J

Explanation:

Specific latent heat of fusion of water is 334kJ.kg-1.

The heat required to melt water when it's ice I called latent heat because there is no temperature change, the only change observed is change in physical structure.

The amount of heat required to change 1 kg of solid to its liquid state (at its melting point) at atmospheric pressure is called Latent heat of Fusion.

Latent heat = ML

Latent heat= 1.25 kg * 334kJ.kg-1

Latent heat = 1.25*334 *(J/kg)*kg

Latent heat = 417.5 J

For a moon orbiting its planet, rp is the shortest distance between the moon and its planet andra is the longest distance betwee
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: D. 0.57

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the eccentricity e of an ellipse is (assuming the moon's orbit in the shape of an ellipse):

e=\frac{r_{a}-r_{p}}{r_{a}+r_{p}}

Where:

r_{a} is the apoapsis (the longest distance between the moon and its planet)

r_{p}=0.27 r_{a} is the periapsis (the shortest distance between the moon and its planet)

Then:

e=\frac{r_{a}-0.27 r_{a}}{r_{a}+0.27 r_{a}}

e=\frac{0.73 r_{a}}{1.27 r_{a}}

e=0.57 This is the moon's orbital eccentricity
