Answer:

Gravity is a natural phenomenon that causes all massive objects to attract each other. The magnitude or force of this interaction depends on the masses and distance of the bodies. This causes objects to fall toward Earth, for example, and keep satellites and celestial bodies in their orbits, such as the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Gravity also causes the tidal phenomenon.

In physics, gravity can be approximated by Isaac Newton's laws of gravity. Although the accuracy of the law is sufficient, for example, when calculating the orbits of spacecraft, gravity is best described by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity, in which it is considered the curvature of space-time.

What is the wavelength of light that is deviated in the first order through an angle of 13.1 ∘ by a transmission grating having

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The wavelength of light is $4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 13.1°

Number of slits = 5000

We need to calculate the wavelength of light

Diffraction of first order is defined as,

$d \sin\theta=n\lambda$ .....(I)

The separation of the slits

$d = \dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{5000}$

$d=2\times10^{-6}\ m$

Now put the value in equation (I)

$2\times10^{-6}\sin13.1^{\circ}=\lambda$

Here, n = 1

$\lambda=4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

Hence, The wavelength of light is $4.53\times10^{-7}\ m$

What is a wave? Use the terms wavelength and frequency in your definition.

adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength

I would say it reflects the sun easily. That’s also how we see it :)
