Answer:

the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

length of the string, L = 1.5 m

mass of the string, m = 0.002 kg

Tension of the string, T = 100 N

wavelength, λ = 1.5 m

The propagation velocity of the wave is calculated as;

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\\mu \ is \ mass \ per \ unit \ length \ of \ the \ string\\\\\mu = \frac{0.002 \ kg}{1.5 \ m} = 0.00133 \ kg/m\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{100}{0.00133} } \\\\v = 274.2 \ m/s

Therefore, the propagation velocity of the wave is 274.2 m/s

The viewing screen in a double-slit experiment with monochromatic light. Fringe C is the central maximum. The fringe separation
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

<em>Part A</em><em>:</em>

a) If the wavelength of the light is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.

<em>Part B</em><em>:</em>

b) If the spacing between the slits is decreased the fringe spacing Δy will increase.

<em>Part C</em><em>:</em>

a) If the distance to the screen is decreased the fringe spacing will decrease.

<em>Part D</em><em>:</em>

The dot in the center of fringe E is 920\ x\ 10^{-9} m farther from the left slit than from the right slit.

Explanation:

In the double-slit experiment there is a clear contrast between the dark and bright fringes, that indicate destructive and constructive interference respectively, in the central peak and then is less so at either side.

The position of bright fringes in the screen where the pattern is formed can be calculated with

                      \vartriangle y =\frac{m \lambda L}{d}

                      m=0,\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm 3,.....

  1. m is the order number.
  2. \lambda is the wavelength of the monochromatic light.
  3. L is the distance between the screen and the two slits.
  4. d is the distance between the slits.
  • Part A:  a) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the wavelength of the light \lambda is decreased the overall effect will be that the fringes are going to be closer. That means that the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.
  • Part B:  b) In the above equation for the position of bright fringes we can see that if the spacing between the slits d is decreased the fringes are going to be wider apart. That means the fringe spacing Δy will increase.
  • Part C:  a) In the above equation we can see that if the distance to the screen L is decreased the fringes are going to be closer. That means the fringe spacing Δy will decrease.
  • Part D: We are told that the central maximum is the fringe C that corresponds with m=0. That means that fringe E corresponds with the order number m=2 if we consider it to be the second maximum at the rigth of the central one. To calculate how much farther from the left slit than from the right slit is a dot located at  the center of the fringe E in the screen we use the condition for constructive interference. That says that the  path length difference Δr between rays coming from the left and right slit must be \vartriangle r=m \lambda

        We simply replace the values in that equation :

                      \vartriangle r= m \lambda =2.\ 460\ nm

                      \vartriangle r= 920\ x\ 10^{-9} m

         The dot in the center of fringe E is 920\ x\ 10^{-9}m farther from the left slit than from the right slit.

if a car that is 100 feet in front of you on route 70 west slams on the brakes while you are traveling 65 miles per hour (95 fee
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

t = 1.05 s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance between your vehicle and car, 100 ft

The constant speed of your vehicle, u = 95 ft/s

Since, the velocity is constant, a =0

If the car stopped suddenly, time left for you to hit the brake, t = ?

Using the second equation of motion,

                           S = ut + ½ at²

Substituting the given values in the equation

                           100 = 95 x t

                             t = 100/95

                               = 1.05 s

Hence, the time left for you to hit the brakes and stop before rear ending them, t = 1.05 s

When Missourians carve their initials into the bark of a tree, the damage leaves the tree open to ____________________.
sasho [114]

Answer:

In fact, carving letters into a tree probably won't hurt it. ... In general, the tree will compartmentalize the wound and it will heal over. The initials that remain visible are essentially scar tissue, permanent scar tissue.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, when carving into the trunk of a tree the blade of a knife often penetrates the outer bark and cuts into the inner bark. ... In cases that the phloem is damaged all the way around the trunk (in a ring for example), the tree will slowly and eventually starve to death.
