Why does a lunar eclipse last for a few hours whereas a solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes?

Physics
1 answer:
Aneli [31]2 years ago

Answer:

The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit. ... A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon's shadow.

kherson [118]

The function of sleep theory supported by the illustration is sleep conserves and protects.

<h3>Positive impact of sleep</h3>

From the first sentence, bats sleep a lot because they face little danger from predators and as such, they have a high-calorie diet of insects.

<h3>Negative impact of sleep</h3>

From the second sentence, cows sleep less, because they face more danger from predators and as such, they have a low-calorie diet of insects.

We can conclude that sleep helps to keep animal safe. Therefore, the correct option will be, "Sleep conserves and protects".

A diffraction grating with 1000 lines per mm is used in a spectrometer to measure the wavelengths of light emitted from a gas di
frez [133]

Answer:

= 9.8°

Explanation:

Width of one slit (a₁ ) = 1 / 1000 mm=0.001 mm = 10⁻⁶ m.

width of one slit in case 2 (a₂ ) = 1/500 =2 x 10⁻⁶ m

angular position of fringe, Sinθ  = n λ /a

n is order of fringe , λ is wave length of light and a  is slit aperture

So Sinθ  ∝ 1 / a

Sin θ₁ /Sin θ₂ = a₂/a₁ ;

Sin20°/sinθ₂ = 2 / 1

sinθ₂ = Sin 20° / 2 = .342/2 = .171

θ₂ = 9.8 °
