Although a zig zag pattern going up a mountain means you walk further, the incline of the slope is a lot less so you don't have to work as hard.
That's THERMAL energy, often referred to as "heat".
Answer: i) 2.356 × 10^-3 m = 2.356mm, ii) 4.712 × 10^-3 m = 4.712mm
Explanation: The formulae that relates the position of a fringe from the center to the wavelength, distance between slits and distance between slits and screen is given below as
y = R×(mλ/d)
Where y = distance between nth fringes and the center fringe.
m = order of fringe
λ = wavelength of light = 589nm = 589×10^-9m
R = distance between slits and screen = 1.0m
d = distance between slits = 0.25mm = 0.00025m
For distance between the first dark fringe and the center fringe.
This implies that m = 1
y = 1 × 589×10^-9 × 1/0.00025
y = 589×10^-9/0.00025
y = 2,356,000 × 10^-9
y = 2.356 × 10^-3 m = 2.356mm
For the second dark fringe, this implies that m = 2
y = 1 × 2 × 589×10^-9/0.00025
y = 1178 × 10^-9 /0.00025
y = 4,712,000 × 10^-9
y = 4.712 × 10^-3 m = 4.712mm
Force applied causes
deformation in the object. It changes the relative positions of
constituent particles in the crystal lattice.
As soon as that happens, the interatomic or intermolecular forces come
into play and they, tend to restore the solid back to it's original
shape.
This restoring force per unit area is called Stress . When external forces are removed, the internal forces tend to restore the solid back.
This property is called Elasticity .
However, no material is perfectly elastic and what happens is that, the body is not able to restore itself completely.
I think it was Isaac Newton
