The second-order dark fringe in a single-slit diffraction pattern is 1.40 mm from the center of the central maximum. Assuming th

e screen is 89.0 cm from a slit of width 0.710 mm and assuming monochromatic incident light, calculate the wavelength of the incident light.

We know, for single slit :

y =\dfrac{ n\lambda L}{a}\\\\\lambda = \dfrac{ya}{nL}       ...1)

y = 1.4\ mm = 1.4 \times 10^{-3}\ m

n = 2

L = 89 cm = 0.89 m

a=7.1\times 10^{-4}\ m

Putting all these in equation 1), we get :

\lambda = \dfrac{ya}{nL}\\\\\lambda = \dfrac{1.4\times 10^{-3}\times 7.1\times 10^{-4}}{2\times 0.89 }\\\\\lambda = 5.584 \times 10^{-7}\ m

Therefore, wavelength of the incident light is 5.584 \times 10^{-7}\ m or 558.4 nm.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

A. carbon and boron

Explanation:

Carbon and boron is not an alloy.

An allow forms between metals and metals using their huge electron could.

Carbon is a non-metal, boron is a also a non-metal

Two non-metals combining together does not make an alloy.

Iron, nickel, aluminum  are all metals.

MatroZZZ [7]
In theroy, yes. But time travel has yet to happen and thus, we dont know. I would assume that that if an alternate universe were NOT created, it would cause a rip in the fabic of time creating a worm hole and allowing all entitys to pass through simultaneously,and that would cause great stress on it, possibly causing it to rip large enough to encase the whole universe and it would implode.

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

gamma rays , X rays,  ultraviolet , visible light , infrared,  radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the set of electromagnetic radiations distributed in their different frequencies or wavelengths, which in turn are related to their energy.   If we go from the smallest wavelengths known up to now (because according to physics the electromagnetic spectrum is infinite and continuous) to the longest, the electromagnetic spectrum covers the following radiations:  

Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light (all the colors we are able to see), infrared, radio waves and microwaves.  

Let's make a brief of them:

-Gamma rays: With a wavelength in the order of 10^{-12}m, is a type of ionizing radiation capable of penetrating matter quite deeply and is able to cause serious damage to the nucleus of the cells. Inaddiito, these rays are used to sterilize medical equipment and food.

-X rays: With a wavelength between 1m and 10km. It is invisible to the human eye, capable of crossing opaque bodies and of being an ionizing radiation.

-Ultraviolet light: Whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm; is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

-Visible light: This part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light (380 nm - 780 nm).  It should be noted, the fact the only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

-Infrared: This type of radiation is not visible to the human eye, since its wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum (between 700 nm and 1 mm).  

These waves can be divided into:  

<u>- Near infrared</u> or long wave infrared: it is the least sensitive to color and is easily absorbed by water.  

<u>- Medium or medium wave infrared:</u> it is also insensitive to color and easily absorbed by water and many types of plastics and paints.  

-<u> Far infrared or short wave infrared: </u>it is more penetrating than the long wave and is good for heating metals, these waves also can pass through clear materials.  

This light has many uses, including heating lamps in physiotherapy and medical treatments, heat sensing devices, among others.

-Radio waves: These are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 10 m to 10,000 m. This type of electromagnetic waves is very well reflected in the ionosphere, the layer of the atmosphere through which they travel directly or using repeaters.  In addition, they are very useful to transport information, being important in telecommunications. They are used not only for conventional radio transmissions but also in mobile telephony and TV.
