Answer:
Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.
Explanation:
Since electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to pass through, they are faster in matter that has fewer particles. ... ~ Sound cannot travel in a vacuum because mechanical waves, such as sound waves, require a medium to propagate through.
Answer:
The spacing between the slits is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The wavelength of the light is 
The distance of the slit from the screen is 
The number of bright fringe is 
The length the fringes span is 
The fringe width (i.e the distance of between two successive bright or dark fringe) is mathematically represented as
Where d is the distance between the slits
is the fringe width which can also be evaluated as
Substituting values
Making d the subject of formula in the above equation
Substituting values
Answer:
Δy = 6.05 mm
Explanation:
The double slit phenomenon is described by the expression
d sin θ = m λ constructive interference
d sin θ = (m + ½) λ destructive interference
m = 0,±1, ±2, ...
As they tell us that they measure the dark stripes, we are in a case of destructive interference, let's use trigonometry to find the sins tea
tan θ = y / x
y = x tan θ
In the interference experiments the measured angle is very small so we can approximate the tangent
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ
cos θ = 1
tan θ = sin θ
y = x sin θ
We substitute in the destructive interference equation
d (y / x) = (m + ½) λ
y = (m + ½) λ x / d
The first dark strip occurs for m = 0 and the third dark strip for m = 2. Let's find the distance for these and subtract it
m = 0
y₀ = (0+ ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³
y₀ = 1.511 10⁻³ m
m = 2
y₂ = (2 + ½) 480 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 0.27 10⁻³
y₂ = 7.556 10⁻³ m
The separation between these strips is Δy
Δy = y₂-y₀
Δy = (7.556 - 1.511) 10⁻³
Δy = 6.045 10⁻³ m
Δy = 6.05 mm
Answer:
Explanation:
Thermal expansion is where materials expand while being heated, causing them to take up more space. Some materials expand more than others. But this all happens due to the motion of tiny little molecules. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
Thermal expansion is an important consideration for engineering because different materials exhibit changes in size when exposed to heat. Thus, affecting length, width, surface area, volume, shape etc
<span>The reaction force would be the exact opposite of the action. In this case, choice (c) would be the most correct. If the action is the ball pushing the glove, the reaction would then be the glove pushing back on the ball.</span>
