Answer:

895522 times faster.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Speed of sound in air (v) = 335 m/s

Speed of light in air (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

How many times faster =.?

To obtain how many times faster light travels in air than sound, do the following

c : v => 3×10⁸ : 335

c/v = 3×10⁸ / 335

c/v = 895522

Cross multiply

c = 895522 × v

From the illustrations made above, we can see that the speed of the light in air (c) is 895522 times the speed of sound in air.

Thus, light travels 895522 times faster than sound in air.

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 580 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 )

Here

wave length used that is λ = 580 nm

=580 x 10⁻⁹

distance between slit d = .46 mm

= .46 x 10⁻³

Angular position of first order interference maxima

= λ / d radian

= 580 x 10⁻⁹ / .46 x 10⁻³

= 0.126 x 10⁻² radian

2 )

Angular position of second order interference maxima

2 x  0.126 x 10⁻² radian

= 0.252 x 10⁻² radian

3 )

For intensity distribution the formula is

I = I₀ cos²δ/2 ( δ is phase difference of two lights.

For angular position of θ1

δ = .126 x 10⁻² radian

I = I₀ cos².126x 10⁻²/2

= I₀ X .998

For angular position of θ2

I = I₀ cos².126x2x 10⁻²/2

=  I₀ cos².126x 10⁻²

devlian [24]

Answer:

The right answer is:

(a) 63.83 kg

(b) 0.725 m/s

Explanation:

The given query seems to be incomplete. Below is the attachment of the full question is attached.

The given values are:

T = 3 sec

k = 280 N/m

(a)

The mass of the string will be:

⇒ T=2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

or,

⇒ m=\frac{k T^2}{4 \pi^2}

On substituting the values, we get

⇒     =\frac{280\times (3)^2}{4 \pi^2}

⇒     =\frac{280\times 9}{4\times (3.14)^2}

⇒     =68.83 \ kg

(b)

The speed of the string will be:

⇒  \frac{1}{2}k(0.4)^2=\frac{1}{2}k(0.2)^2+\frac{1}{2}mv^2

then,

⇒             v=\sqrt{\frac{k((0.4)^2-(0.2)^2)}{m} }

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280\times ((0.4)^2-(0.2)^2)}{63.83} }

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280(0.16-0.04)}{63.83} }

⇒                =\sqrt{\frac{280\times 0.12}{63.83} }

⇒                =0.725 \ m/s

allochka39001 [22]
In order to get the propoerty of work you need to use the following formula
 <span>work = force times distance
</span>replacing data you will get:
W = (1.500) (3)
W =  4.500 NM
The answer should be in NM. So it will be 4500 NM againts the force of gravity
