Answer:

False

Explanation:

The formula of force that exists between two charges is expressed as;

F = kq1q2/r²

If two charges separated by one meter exert a 9 N force on each other, the;

9 = kq1q2/1²

9 = kq1q2 ..... 1

If the charges are pushed to a 3 meter separation, then;

F =  kq1q2/3²

F =  kq1q2/9 .... 2

Divide both equations;

9/F = (kq1q2)/ kq1q2/9

9/F =  kq1q2 * 9/ kq1q2

9/F = 9

F = 9/9

F = 1N

Hence if the charges are pushed to a 3 meter separation, then the force on EACH charge will be 1N. Hence the answer is False

A screen is placed 1.20m behind a single slit. The central maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern on the screen is 1.40cm
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2.8 cm

Explanation:

y_1 = Separation between two first order diffraction minima = 1.4 cm

D = Distance of screen = 1.2 m

m = Order

Fringe width is given by

\beta_1=\dfrac{y_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=\dfrac{1.4}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=0.7\ cm

Fringe width is also given by

\beta_1=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}

For second order

\beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1

Distance between two second order minima is given by

y_2=2\beta_2

\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.7\\\Rightarrow y_2=2.8\ cm

The distance between the two second order minima is 2.8 cm

At what wavelength would a star radiate the greatest amount of energy if the star has a surface temperature of 60,000 K?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m

Explanation:

We have,

The surface temperature of the star is 60,000 K

It is required to find the wavelength of a star that radiated greatest amount of energy. Wein's displacement law gives the relation between wavelength and temperature such that :

\lambda T=2.89\times 10^{-3}

Here,

\lambda = wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{2.89\times 10^{-3}}{60000}\\\\\lambda=4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m

So, the wavelength of the star is 4.81\times 10^{-8}\ m.
