An instructor wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

λ = 623.2 nm

Explanation:

We are given;

separation distance; d = 0.195 mm = 0.195 × 10^(-3) m

interference pattern distance; D = 4.85 m

Width of two adjacent bright interference; w = 1.55 cm = 1.55 × 10^(-2) m

Formula for fringe width is given as;

w = λD/d

Where λ is wavelength

Thus;

λ = dw/D

λ = (0.195 × 10^(-3) × 1.55 × 10^(-2))/4.85

λ = 0.0000006232 m

Converting to nm gives;

λ = 623.2 nm

The minute and hour hands of a clock have a common axis of rotation and equal mass. The minute hand is long, thin, and uniform;
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

b. less than

Explanation:

Moment of inertia decreases as angular velocity increases. Therefore, since the minute hand is faster than the hour hand, it is safe to say that the moment of inertia of the minute hand is less than the moment of inertia of the hour hand?

Fluid mechanics questions and answers​
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Fluid mechanics is considered one of the toughest subdisciplines within mechanical and aerospace engineering. It is unique from almost any other field an undergraduate engineer will encounter. It requires viewing physics in a new light, and that's not always an easy jump to make.
