The part that moves are called anti-nodes. The stationary pars are nodes

What is the angle of the 2nd order bright fringe produced by two slits that are 8.25x10-5m apart if the wavelength of the incide

dexar [7]

In order to calculate the angle, we can use the formula below for a constructive interference (the interference is constructive because the fringe is bright):

$d\sin\theta=m\lambda$

Where d is the distance between the slits, m is the order of the interference and lambda is the wavelength.

So, using d = 8.25 * 10^-5, m = 2 and lambda = 4.5 * 10^-7, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 8.25\cdot10^{-5}\cdot\sin\theta=2\cdot4.5\cdot10^{-7}\\ \\ \sin\theta=\frac{9\cdot10^{-7}}{8.25\cdot10^{-5}}\\ \\ \sin\theta=1.091\cdot10^{-2}\\ \\ \theta=0.625° \end{gathered}$

Therefore the correct option is the second one.

if heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object it has been transferred by what ?

Katarina [22]

When heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object , it is known as heat transfer by conduction.

In conduction, the heat transfer takes place within an object or between two objects in contact until the temperature becomes uniform. this kind of heat transfer continues until the temperature at two ends between which the heat transfer take place , becomes equal. Heat transfer takes place from point at high temperature to point at lower temperature.

Evaporation of sweat cools the skin because

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: c. the molecules with the highest energy evaporate first, lowering the temperature of the sample

Explanation:

The process by which liquid starts to change into vapor phase at any temperature is known as evaporation.

During evaporation , the molecules which possess higher energies escape from the upper layer into vapor phase. the molecules which escape draw energy from surroundings and thus decrease the energy of the surroundings and hence lead to decrease in temperature.

As temperature of the system is directly proportional to the energy of the system , thus decrease in energy leads to decrease in temperature.

$K.E=\frac{3RT}{2}$

K.E. = Kinetic energy

T = temperature

R= gas constant
