Answer:

C. 10⁻³ rads

Explanation:

Here, we shall use Rayleigh's Criterion to find out the angular resolution of Cat's eye during day light. Rayleigh's Criterion is written as follows:

θ = λ/a

where,

θ = angular resolution of Cat's eye = ?

λ = wavelength = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m

a = slit width of eye = 0.5 mm = 5 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

θ = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m/5 x 10⁻⁴ m)

Therefore,

θ = 0.001

θ = Sin⁻¹(0.001)

θ = 0.001 rad = 1 x 10⁻³ rad

Hence, the correct answer is:

<u>C. 10⁻³ rads</u>

Answer:

8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1

9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.

Explanation:

8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...

1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)

ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ

-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1

___

9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...

6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344

half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.

The wave function of a particle is exp(i(kx-omegat)), where x is distance, t is time, and k and co are positive real numbers. Th

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Momentum, $p=\hbar k$

Explanation:

The wave function of a particle is given by :

$y=exp[i(kx-\omega t)]$ ...............(1)

Where

x is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

k is the propagation constant

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

The relation between the momentum and wavelength is given by :

$p=\dfrac{h}{\lambda}$ ............(2)

From equation (1),

$k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi}{k}$

Use above equation in equation (2) as :

$p=\dfrac{h k}{2\pi }$

Since, $\dfrac{h}{2\pi}=\hbar$

$p=\hbar k$

So, the x-component of the momentum of the particle is $\hbar k$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

An object at 27°C has its temperature increased to 37°C.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

b. 14

Explanation:

$T_{i}$ = Initial temperature = 27 °C = 27 + 273 = 300 K

$T_{f}$ = Final temperature = 37 °C = 37 + 273 = 310 K

$P_{i}$ = Initial Power radiated by the object

$P_{f}$ = Final Power radiated by the object

We know that the power radiated is directly proportional to fourth power of the temperature. hence

$\frac{P_{f}}{P_{i}} = \frac{T_{f}^{4} }{T_{i}^{4} }\\\frac{P_{f}}{P_{i}} = \frac{(310)^{4} }{(300)^{4} }\\\frac{P_{f}}{P_{i}} = 1.14\\P_{f} = (1.14) P_{i}$

Percentage increase in power is given as

$\frac{(P_{f} - P_{i})\times100}{P_{i}} \\\frac{((1.14) P_{i} - P_{i})\times100}{P_{i}} \\14$

A +71 nC charge is positioned 1.9 m from a +42 nC charge. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the midpoint of these c

viva [34]

Answer:

The net Electric field at the mid point is 289.19 N/C

Given:

Q = + 71 nC = $71\times 10^{- 9} C$

Q' = + 42 nC = $42\times 10^{- 9} C$

Separation distance, d = 1.9 m

Solution:

To find the magnitude of electric field at the mid point,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q is given by:

$\vec{E} = \frac{Q}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E} = \frac{71\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E} = 708.03 N/C$

Now,

Electric field at the mid-point due to charge Q' is given by:

$\vec{E'} = \frac{Q'}{4\pi\epsilon_{o}(\frac{d}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E'} = \frac{42\times 10^{- 9}}{4\pi\8.85\times 10^{- 12}(\frac{1.9}{2})^{2}}$

$\vec{E'} = 418.84 N/C$

Now,

The net Electric field is given by:

$\vec{E_{net}} = \vec{E} - \vec{E'}$

$\vec{E_{net}} = 708.03 - 418.84 = 289.19 N/C$
