Answer:
Acid mine drainage is dissolved toxic materials wash from mines into nearby lakes and streams.
Explanation:
Acid mine drainage is the flow of acidic water with pH typically between 2 and 4, and high concentrations of other dissolved toxic materials from mines into nearby lakes and streams. It mainly occurs during metal sulfide mining, when the metal sulfide ore such as pyrite (FeS2) is exposed to water and oxygen from air to produce soluble iron and sulfuric acid.
Microorganisms, especially acidophile bacteria like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grow by pyrite oxidation, i.e., oxidizing the Fe²⁺ in pyrite to Fe³⁺, which again react with pyrite and water to produce sulfuric acid. Then the acidic water flows into nearby water sources and reduces the pH value of water in those sources. As a result, heavy metals such as copper, lead, mercury, etc in other mineral ores also get dissolved into the water. The action of acidophile bacteria also increases the rate and degree of acid-mine drainage process.
The acid mine drainage causes water pollution and adversely affect the aquatic plants and animals. It also results in the contamination of drinking water, corrosion of infrastructures such as bridges, etc.
Answer:
Behaves as a wave.
Explanation:
The dual nature of light means that light behaves as a wave. If the light consisted of small particles, the alternating light and dark bands would not have occurred.
Sometimes it behaves like a particle (called a photon), which explains how light travels in straight lines.
Answer:
λ = 605.80 nm
Explanation:
These double-slit experiments the equation for constructive interference is
d sin θ = m λ
where d is the distance between the slits, λ the wavelength of light and m an integer that determines the order of interference.
In this case, the distance between the slits is d = 1.11 mm = 1.11 10⁻³ m, the distance to the screen is L = 8.63 m, the range number m = 10 and ay = 4.71 cm
Let's use trigonometry to find the angle
tan θ = y / L
as the angles are very small
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ
we substitute
sin θ = y / L
we substitute in the first equation
d y / L = m λ
λ = d y / m L
let's calculate
λ = 1.11 10⁻³ 4.71 10⁻²/ (10 8.63)
λ = 6.05805 10⁻⁷ m
let's reduce to nm
λ = 6.05805 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1m)
λ = 605.80 nm
