Answer:

(a) 1.029 m

(b) 1.78 mm

Solution:

As per the question:

Wavelength of light, \lambda = 588\ nm

Slit width, w = 0.68 mm

Now,

The distance first minimum in the diffraction pattern, y_{1} = 0.89\ mm

Now,

(a) For first minima:

wsin\theta = \lambda

w(\frac{y}{D}) = \lambda

where

D = Distance from the screen

D = (\frac{0.68\times 10^{- 3}\times 0.89\times 10^{- 3}}{588\times 10^{- 9}})

D = 1.029 m

(b) The width of the central maxima is given by:

2y = 2\times 0.89 = 1.78\ mm

lana [24]

Answer:

0.500 T

Explanation:

Since the change in time and the number of coils are both 1, I set the problem up to be 1.3=(1.5(x)-13(x)). I then plugged in numbers for x until I got the answer to be 1.3 V.

Sally takes two bar magnets and randomly tapes one end of each bar magnet. she labels the magnets A and B. She brings the taped
vlabodo [156]
Since the two taped poles of the magnets labeled A and B attracts one to each other, we know that the two taped poles are oppsosite.

So, you can predict with total certainty that when she brings the taped end of the third magnet (magnet C) near each of the first two magntes, in one case they will attract each other and in the other case they will repele mutually.

You are certain of that because, since the taped poles of the first two magnets are opposite, the pole of the third magnet has to be equal to one of the two first taped poles and opposite to the other of the two firest taped poles.

On a particle level, what happens when thermal conduction occurs within a solid?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Faster particles bump into slower particles ( A )

Explanation:

Thermal conduction in a solid involves the microscopic collision of particles in the solid and this particles are made up of electrons, molecules and atoms. the collisions occur when faster particles collide with slower particles and this happens in a disorganized manner.

when cannot say for sure in what direction each of the particles is moving but there is surely collisions between particles which in turn results to transfer of kinetic and potential energies
