A red laser from the physics lab is marked as producing 632.8-nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced s

lits, an interference pattern formed on a wall several meters away has bright red fringes spaced 4.50mm apart near the center of the pattern. When the laser is replaced by a small laser pointer, the fringes are 4.64mm apart.Part AWhat is the wavelength of light produced by the pointer?Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units nm

Answer:

Explanation:

fringe separation or fringe width is directly proportional to wavelength .

Δ₁ / Δ₂ = wave length of first laser / wavelength of second laser

Δ₁ is fringe separation in first case and Δ₂ is fringe separation in second case.

putting the given values

632.8 / wavelength of second laser = 4.5 / 4.64

wavelength of second laser  = 632.8 x (4.64 / 4.5)

= 652.48 nm

652 nm

pychu [463]

Answer:

B) Pressure on the scale, not registered as weight.

Explanation:

This is because energy (derived from weight) becomes compiled on the tips of your toes, and therefore does not increase your weight, but simply the pressure at a smaller point

When a 0.622 kg basketball hits the floor, its velocity changes from 4.23 m/s down to 3.85 m/s up. If the ball was in contact wi
SVEN [57.7K]

when the ball hits the floor and bounces back the momentum of the ball changes.

the rate of change of momentum is the force exerted by the floor on it.

the equation for the force exerted is

f = rate of change of momentum

f = \frac{mv - mu}{t}

v is the final velocity which is - 3.85 m/s

u is initial velocity - 4.23 m/s

m = 0.622 kg

time is the impact time of the ball in contact with the floor - 0.0266 s

substituting the values

f = \frac{0.622 kg (3.85 m/s - (-)4.23 m/s)}{0.0266}

since the ball is going down, we take that as negative and ball going upwards as positive.

f = 189 N

the force exerted from the floor is 189 N

The following equation is an example of decay?<br><br> 232/90 TH---4/2 HE +228/88 RA?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Alpha decay

Explanation:

  • Alpha decay is one of the three major types of decays, others being, beta decay and gamma decay.
  • <em><u>When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha decay it emits alpha particles. An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of Helium atom.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, an atom undergoing decay, its atomic mass is decreased by 4 and its atomic number is decreased by 2. </u></em>
  • Thus, since 232/90 Th, has undergone alpha decay its mass number is reduced by 4 to 228 and its atomic number by 2 to 88, and becomes 228/88 Ra.

A linear accelerator uses alternating electric fields to accelerate electrons to close to the speed of light. A small number of
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

8.1 x 10^13 electrons passed through the accelerator over 1.8 hours.

Explanation:

The total charge accumulated in 1.8 hours will be:

Total Charge = I x t = (-2.0 nC/s)(1.8 hrs)(3600 s/ 1 hr)

Total Charge = - 12960 nC = - 12.96 x 10^(-6) C

Since, the charge on one electron is e = - 1.6 x 10^(-19) C

Therefore, no. of electrons will be:

No. of electrons = Total Charge/Charge on one electron

No. of electrons = [- 12.96 x 10^(-6) C]/[- 1.6 x 10^(-19) C]

<u>No. of electrons = 8.1 x 10^13 electrons</u>
