The distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating is 1900 nm. The grating is illuminated at normal incidence with a

parallel beam of white light in the 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength band. What is the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum

Answer:

3.28 degree

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between the ruled lines on a diffraction grating, d=1900nm=1900\times 10^{-9}m

Where 1nm=10^{-9} m

\lambda_2=400nm=400\times10^{-9}m

\lambda_1=700nm=700\times 10^{-9}m

We have to find  the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum.

We know that

\theta=sin^{-1}(\frac{m\lambda}{d})

Using the formula

m=1

\theta_1=sin^{-1}(\frac{1\times700\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})

\theta=21.62^{\circ}

Now, m=2

\theta_2=sin^{-1}(\frac{2\times400\times 10^{-9}}{1900\times 10^{-9}})

\theta_2=24.90^{\circ}

\Delta \theta=\theta_2-\theta_1

\Delta \theta=24.90-21.62

\Delta \theta=3.28^{\circ}

Hence, the angular width of the gap between the first order spectrum and the second order spectrum=3.28 degree

The earth's tectonic plates are directly propelled by the convection in the __________.
frozen [14]

The missing word here is <u>Asthenosphere.</u><u> </u>

The convection in the asthenosphere directly propels the tectonic plates of the earth.


Did you know that the asthenosphere is thought to remain malleable because of heat from deep within the Earth? It is thought to be lubricating the earth's tectonic plates' undersides and enabling movement.


The older, denser portions of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones are stored in the asthenosphere, according to the theory of plate tectonics.

The lithosphere above is stressed by convection currents, and the cracking that frequently results manifests as earthquakes.

Magma is forced upward through volcanic vents and spreading centers by convection currents produced within the asthenosphere, which also results in the formation of new crust.

When water in clouds undergoes condensation, it can lead to?
olga_2 [115]
It will lead to rain. I know this because as the clouds move over water sources like oceans, lakes, and rivers, the water evaporates and rises. The water then liquefies into little water droplets. As the cloud moves over more water the droplets get scrunched up and get bigger over time and soon they get heavy and gravity pulls the droplets down to earth as rain. The End.

A current of 2 A flows through a resistor. The voltage across the resistor is 18 V.
stepan [7]

Answer:

R=9\ \Omega

Explanation:

Given that,

Current, I = 2 A

Voltage across the resistor, V = 18 V

We need to find the value of resistance of the resistor. Let the resistance be R. We can find it using Ohm's law i.e.

V = IR

Where

R is the resistance of the resistor

R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{18}{2}\\\\R=9\ \Omega

So, the resistance of the resistor is equal to 9\ \Omega.
