Answer:

The longest wavelength of light is 666.7 nm

Explanation:

The general form of the grating equation is

mλ = d(sinθi + sinθr)

where;

m is third-order maximum = 3

λ is the wavelength,

d is the slit spacing (m/slit)

θi is the incident angle

θr is the diffracted angle

Note: at longest wavelength, sinθi + sinθr = 1

λ = d/m

d = 1/500 slits/mm

λ = 1 mm/(500 *3) = 1mm/1500 = 666.7 X 10⁻⁶ mm = 666.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of light is 666.7 nm

Answer:

$T = 29.66 ^o C$

Explanation:

As we know that here final equilibrium temperature is 0 degree C

so we can use energy conservation here

heat given by the cube = heat absorbed by the ice

so we have

$ms \Delta T = m' L$

so here we have

$0.220(385)(T - 0) = (7.50 \times 10^{-3})(3.35 \times 10^5)$

$T = \frac{2512.5}{0.220 \times 385}$

$T = 29.66 ^o C$

Explanation:

We are given that

$q_1=q_2=2.06\mu C=2.06\times 10^{-6} C$

$q_3=q_4=-2.06\mu C=-2.06\times 10^{-6} C$

The magnitude of the net electrostatic force experienced by any charge at point 4

Net force, $F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2_1+F^2_3+2F_1F_3cos90^{\circ}}-F_2$

$F_1=F_3=F$

$F_{net}=\sqrt{F^2+F^2+0}-F_2$

$F_{net}=\sqrt 2F-F_2$

$F=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}$

$F_2=\frac{Kq^2}{2d^2}$

$F_{net}=\frac{\sqrt 2kq^2}{d^2}-\frac{kq^2}{2d^2}=\frac{kq^2}{d^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})$

Where $k=9\times 10^9$

$F_{net}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (2.06\times 10^{-6})^2}{(0.41)^2}(\sqrt 2-\frac{1}{2})$

$F_{net}=0.208 N$

Betelgeuse is how many times larger than the sun

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars and is probably at least the size of the orbits of Mars or Jupiter around the sun. That's a diameter about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles. For a star it has a rather low surface temperature (6000 F compared to the Sun's 10,000 F).
