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

A charged particle moves at 2.5 × 104 m/s at an angle of 25° to a magnetic field that has a field strength of 8.1 × 10–2 T. If t
nekit [7.7K]

the magnitude of charge=q=8.76 x 10⁻⁵C

Explanation:

the magnetic force Fm is given by

Fm= q V B sinθ

q= charge

v= velocity= 2.5 x 10⁴ m/s

B= magnetic field strength= 8.1 x 10⁻²T

Fm= magnetic force= 7.5 x 10⁻² N

θ=25°

so 7.5 x 10⁻² =q (2.5 x 10⁴ ) (8.1 x 10⁻²) sin25

q=8.76 x 10⁻⁵C

Objects P and Q are placed in a bowl of water. P floats and Q sinks. Which one or more of the following can be deduced from this
Lady bird [3.3K]

The correct option that can be deduced for both Object P and Q is Option b) I and II only

To solve this question correctly, we need to understand the concept of density and it relation to mass and volume.

<h3>What is Density?</h3>

Density is a physical property of an object and can be expressed by using the relation:

\mathbf{Density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}}

From the given parameters, we are being told that:

  • P → floats
  • Q → sinks

This implies that Q has a greater density that P. Since Q has a greater density than P, Q will be heavier since it will have greater mass.

However, Q will not be denser than water because if that happens, P will be have a greater density which is untrue in this scenario.

Therefore, we can conclude that:

  • 1. Q is heavier than P
  • II. 1cm³ of Q has a greater mass than 1cm³ of P
