6 0

Answer:

Technique of comparing abundance ratio between radioactive isotopes to a reference isotope to determine the age of a material called radioactive dating. It determines the age by having a more abundance of isotopes in the cellular being.

Which Of The Following Statements Are True?
aksik [14]

Answer:

A) The north pole of a bar magnet will attract the south pole of another bar magnet.

B) Earth's geographic north pole is actually a magnetic south pole.

E) The south poles of two bar magnets will repel each other.

Explanation:

<u>According to </u><u>classical physics</u>, a magnetic field always has two associated magnetic poles (north and south), the same happens with magnets. This means that if we break a magnet in half, we will have two magnets, where each new magnet will have a new south pole, and a new north pole.

This is because <u>for classical physics, naturally, magnetic monopoles can not exist. </u>

In this context,  Earth is similar to a magnetic bar with a north pole and a south pole. This means, the axis that crosses the Earth from pole to pole is like a big magnet.  

Now, by convention, on all magnets the north pole is where the magnetic lines of force leave the magnet and the south pole is where the magnetic lines of force enter the magnet.  

Then, for the case of the Earth, the north pole of the magnet is located towards the geographic south pole and the south pole of the magnet is near the geographic north pole.  

And it is for this reason, moreover, that the magnetic field lines enter the Earth through its magnetic south pole (which is the geographic north pole).

A Michelson interferometer uses red light with a wavelength of 656.45 nm from a hydrogen discharge lamp. Part A How many bright-
kati45 [8]

Answer:

51793 bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed when the mirror M2 moves through 1.7cm

Explanation:

The number of maxima appearing when the mirror M moves through distance \Delta L is given as follows,

\Delta m = \frac{\Delta L}{\frac{\lambda}{2}}

Here,

\Delta L= is the distance moved by the mirror M

\lambda is the wavelenght of the light used.

\Delta L= 0.017m

\lambda = 656.45*10^{-9}m

\Delta m = \frac{0.017}{\frac{656.45*10^{-9}}{2}}

\Delta m = 51793.72

Therefore, 51793 bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed when the mirror M2 moves through 1.7
