Answer:

$\frac{d}{\lambda} = 1.54$

Explanation:

Given :

The first dark fringe is for m = 0

$\theta_1 = \pm 19^\circ$

Now we know for a double slit experiments , the position of the dark fringes is give by :

$d \sin \theta=\left(m+\frac{1}{2}\right) \lambda$

The ratio of distance between the two slits, d to the light's wavelength that illuminates the slits, λ :

$d \sin \theta=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \lambda$     (since, m = 0)

$d \sin \theta=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

$\frac{d}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{2 \sin \theta}$

$\frac{d}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{2 \sin 19^\circ}$

$\frac{d}{\lambda} = 1.54$

Therefore, the ratio is $\frac{1}{1.54}$  or 1 : 1.54

A 4.5 kg mass is accelerated at 40 m/s/s what is the force that was applied
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

180 N

Explanation:

Use Newton's second law, F = ma.

m = 4.5 kg; a = 40 m/s/s

F = (4.5)(40) = 180 N

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

1.67m/s

Explanation:

Total Distance to be travelled by a Runner=100m

Time Taken=10*6s

Speed=Distance/Time

=100/10*6=10/6=1.67m/s

Which of the following will cause an increase in gas pressure in a closed container?
Ludmilka [50]

C. Both A. and B.

Explanation:

Statement A. Reducing the volume is true because of Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at fixed temperature, the pressure p and the volume V are inversely proportional:

pV=const.

Therefore, when the volume V is reduced, the pressure p increases.

Statement B. Adding more gas is also true: in fact, if we add gas into the container, we will have more molecules of the gas hitting the wall of the container. But the pressure of a gas is exactly given by this: by the collision of the molecules against the wall of the container, so the more the molecules of gas, the greater the pressure.

Ultraviolet rays are used to _____.
NeTakaya

Answer:

Grow plants where little light is available

Explanation:

The plants need the ultraviolet rays in order to be able to survive and develop. The need mainly comes from the dependence of these rays for production of food, in a process known as photosynthesis. The plants are producers, thus they create their own food. In order to be able to do that they are using the ultraviolet rays, as well as water, and carbon dioxide. By combining them, the plants manage to create glucose for them, and that is their food source. The plants that are kept at places where there's not enough light are often exposed to ultraviolet rays so that they are able to perform the process of photosynthesis and grow properly.

Consider a situation of simple harmonic motion in which the distance between the endpoints is 2.39 m and exactly 8 cycles are co
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

1.195 m

2.8375 s

2.21433 rad/s

Explanation:

d = Distance = 2.39 m

N = Number of cycles = 8

t = Time to complete 8 cycles = 22.7 s

Radius would be equal to the distance divided by 2

r=\frac{d}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{2.39}{2}\\\Rightarrow r=1.195\ m

The radius is 1.195 m

Time period would be given by

T=\frac{t}{N}\\\Rightarrow T=\frac{22.7}{8}\\\Rightarrow T=2.8375\ s

Time period of the motion is 2.8375 s

Angular speed is given by

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{2\pi}{2.8375}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2.21433\ rad/s

The angular speed of the motion is 2.21433 rad/s
