Answer:

Atomic mass is defined as the number of protons and neutrons in an atom, where each proton and neutron has a mass of approximately 1 amu (1.0073 and 1.0087, respectively). The electrons within an atom are so miniscule compared to protons and neutrons that their mass is negligible.

I hope this is the answer you were looking for :D

It is expressed as a multiple of one-twelfth the mass of the carbon-12 atom, 1.992646547 × 10^−23 gram, which is assigned an atomic mass of 12 units. In this scale, 1 atomic mass unit (amu) corresponds to 1.660539040 × 10^−24 gram.

Coherent light with wavelength 599 nm passes through two very narrow slits with separation of 20 μm, and the interference patter

goblinko [34]

Answer:

134.77 mm

Explanation:

Wave length of light λ = 599 x 10⁻⁹ m

Slit separation d = 20 x 10⁻⁶ m

Screen distance D = 3 m

Distance of second dark fringe from centre

= 1.5 x λ D / d

Putting the values given above

distance = $\frac{1.5\times599\times10^{-9}\times 3}{20\times10^{-6}}$

= 134.77 x 10⁻³ m

= 134.77 mm.

A light with a second-order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 30. 0°. The diffraction grating has 250. 0 lines per mm. Wh

Luden [163]

The distance between two successive troughs or crests is known as the wavelength. The wavelength of the light will be 1000 nm.

How do you define wavelength?

The distance between two successive troughs or crests is known as the wavelength. The peak of the wave is the highest point, while the trough is the lowest.

The wavelength is also defined as the distance between two locations in a wave that have the same oscillation phase.

Diffraction angle= 30⁰

Diffraction grating per mm= 250

wavelength = ?

Mathematically the equation of bright band is given by

$\rm \lambda= \frac{sin\theta}{nN}$

$\rm \lambda= \frac{sin23^0}{250\times 2}$

$\rm \lambda= 0.000001$ m

$\rm \lambda= 1000 nm$

Hence the wavelength of the light will be 1000 nm.

Planets are not uniform inside. Normally, they are densest at the center and have decreasing density outward toward the surface.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

$g=13.42\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

1) Notation and info given

$\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ represent the density at the center of the planet

$\rho_{surface}=2100 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ represent the densisty at the surface of the planet

r represent the radius

$r_{earth}=6.371x10^{6}m$ represent the radius of the Earth

2) Solution to the problem

So we can use a model to describe the density as function of the radius

$r=0, \rho(0)=\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$

$r=6.371x10^{6}m, \rho(6.371x10^{6}m)=\rho_{surface}=2100 \frac{kg}{m^3}$

So we can create a linear model in the for y=b+mx, where the intercept b= $\rho_{center}=13000 \frac{kg}{m^3}$ and the slope would be given by $m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}-0}$

So then our linear model would be

$\rho (r)=\rho_{center}+\frac{\rho_{surface}-\rho_{center}}{r_{earth}}r$

Since the goal for the problem is find the gravitational acceleration we need to begin finding the total mass of the planet, and for this we can use a finite element and spherical coordinates. The volume for the differential element would be $dV=r^2 sin\theta d\phi d\theta dr$ .
