Two sources of light of wavelength 720 nm are 10 m away from a pinhole of diameter 1.2 mm. How far apart must the sources be for

their diffraction patterns to be resolved by Rayleigh's criterion?

Answer:

The value is  y  =  0.00732 \ m    

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of each source is  \lambda  = 720 \ nm =  720 *10^{-9} \  m

     The distance from the pinhole D = 10 \ m

     The diameter is d =  1.2 mm = \frac{1.2}{1000} = 0.0012 \ m

Generally from Rayleigh's criterion  we have that the distance between the sources of light for their diffraction patterns is mathematically represented as '

        y  =  \frac{ 1.22 *  \lambda *  D}{d}

=>      y  =  \frac{ 1.22 * 720 *10^{-9}*   10 }{ 0.0012}

=>      y  =  0.00732 \ m

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cannonball goes a horizontal  distance of 275 m . It travels a vertical distance of 100 m

Time taken to cover vertical distance =  t ,

Initial velocity u = 0

distance s = 100 m

acceleration a = 9.8 m /s²

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

100 = .5 x 9.8 x t²

t = 4.51 s

During this time it travels horizontally also uniformly so

horizontal velocity Vx = horizontal displacement / time

= 275 / 4.51 = 60.97 m /s

Vertical velocity Vy

Vy = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 4.51

= 44.2 m /s

Resultant velocity

V = √ ( 44.2² + 60.97² )

= √ ( 1953.64 + 3717.34 )

= 75.3 m /s

Angle with horizontal Ф

TanФ = Vy / Vx

= 44.2 / 60.97

= .725

Ф = 36⁰ .

The answer to the first question is that plants make glucose and oxygen by taking in CO2 and H20.

The answer to the second question is having a heavier mass increases the force of a moving object. That is the Second Law of Motion, F = ma.
