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>

Determine the displacement and distance covered by a man if he walks 10 m north, turns east and walks 20 m, and then turns right
NemiM [27]

Answer:

20m

Explanation:

The two tens cancel each other out, as they are in opposite directions. Now we only care about the 20m, which if we have no 10's, will end up 20m away.

A mass of (200 g) of hot water at (75.0°C) is mixed with cold water of mass M at (5.0°C). The final temperature of the mixture i
MArishka [77]

Answer:

500 g

Explanation:

Specific heat of water = 1 j/g-c

Heat given up by hot water = 200(75-25)(1) = 10 000 j

this is the heat GAINED by the cold water

10000 j =  x ( 25 -5)(1)  

          x =500g

An element's atomic number is the​
Zepler [3.9K]

the atomic number of a chemical element (also known as its proton number) is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element, and therefore identical to the charge number of the nucleus.

Is magnetic a form of energy
Sergeu [11.5K]
Hey there! :D

Yes, indeed! Magnetic is a form of energy. It pushes or pulls to forces together. A lot of this energy is through waves, and opposite and like poles. 

I hope this helps!

When an object is thrown upwards and reaches its maximum height its speed is: a. Greater than the initial
suter [353]

Answer:

Option d

Explanation:

When we throw an object in the upward direction, we provide it with certain initial velocity due to which it covers a certain distance up to the maximum height.

While the object is moving in the upward direction, its velocity keeps on reducing due to the acceleration due to gravity which acts vertically downwards in the opposite direction thus reducing its velocity.

So, the maximum height attained by the object is the point where this upward velocity of the body becomes zero and after that the object starts to fall down.
