  1. Mercury and Alcohol
  2. Mercury:

i) It is a good conductor of heat and therefore the whole liquid reaches the temperature of the surroundings quickly.

ii) It does not wet (cling to the sides of) the tube.

Alcohol:

i) Alcohol has greater value of temperature coefficient of expansion than mercury.

ii) it's freezing point is below –100°C.

As microwave light travels through a liquid, it moves at a speed of 2.2 x 108 m/s. If the frequency of this light wave is 1.1 x
Alexandra [31]

λ = 2 m.

The easiest way to solve this problem is using the equation of frecuency of a wave f = v/λ, where v is the velocity of the wave, and λ is the wavelength.

To calculate the wavelength of a microwave light travels through a liquid, it moves at a speed of 2.2 x 10⁸ m/s. If the frecuency of the light wave is 1.1 x 10⁸ Hz, we have to clear λ from the equation f = v/λ:

f = v/λ -------> λ = v/f

λ = 2.2 x 10⁸ m/s / 1.1 x 10⁸ Hz

λ = 2 m (wavelength of the microwave)

Consider a single-slit diffraction pattern for λ=589nm , projected on a screen that is 1.00 m from a slit of width 0.25 mm. How
const2013 [10]

Answer: i) 2.356 × 10^-3 m = 2.356mm, ii) 4.712 × 10^-3 m = 4.712mm

Explanation: The formulae that relates the position of a fringe from the center to the wavelength, distance between slits and distance between slits and screen is given below as

y = R×(mλ/d)

Where y = distance between nth fringes and the center fringe.

m = order of fringe

λ = wavelength of light = 589nm = 589×10^-9m

R = distance between slits and screen = 1.0m

d = distance between slits = 0.25mm = 0.00025m

For distance between the first dark fringe and the center fringe.

This implies that m = 1

y = 1 × 589×10^-9 × 1/0.00025

y = 589×10^-9/0.00025

y = 2,356,000 × 10^-9

y = 2.356 × 10^-3 m = 2.356mm

For the second dark fringe, this implies that m = 2

y = 1 × 2 × 589×10^-9/0.00025

y = 1178 × 10^-9 /0.00025

y = 4,712,000 × 10^-9

y = 4.712 × 10^-3 m = 4.712mm

What is the difference between scientific law and scientific theory
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory.
