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?
Physics

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

Near the surface of Earth an electric field points radially downward and has a magnitude of approximately 100 N/C. What charge (
pentagon [3]

Answer:

q=2.997\times 10^{-4}C

Sign-Negative

Explanation:

We are given that

Electric field =E=100NC^{-1} (Radially downward)

Acceleration=0.19 ms^{-2}(Upward)

Mass of charge=3 g=3\times 10^{-3}kg

1kg=1000g

We have to find the magnitude and sign of  charge would have to be placed on a penny .

By newton's second law

\sum F_y=ma

\sum F_y=qE-mg

Substitute the values then we get

qE-mg=ma

Substitute the values then we get

q(100)-3\times 10^{-3}(9.8)=3\times 10^{-3}(0.19)

100q-29.4\times 10^{-3}=0.57\times 10^{-3}

100q=0.57\times 10^{-3}+29.4\times 10^{-3}=29.97\times 10^{-3}

q=\frac{29.97\times 10^{-3}}{100}

q=2.997\times 10^{-4}C

Sign of charge =Negative

Because electric force acting  in opposite direction of electric field therefore,charge on penny will be negative.

Which part of a wind-powered system ultimately produces the electricity? A. nacelle B. blade C. turbine D. generator
djverab [1.8K]
<span>The correct answer is: (D) Generator

Explanation:
In wind-powered systems, the wind energy turns the blades around the rotor of a wind turbine. That rotor is connected to a generator that generates electricity. In other words, the kinectic energy of the wind is converted into electrical energy by using the generator in the wind-powered systems.</span>

(a) when rebuilding her car's engine, a physics major must exert 300 n of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylind
Vilka [71]
There are some missing data in the text of the problem. I've found them online:
a) coefficient of friction dry steel piston - steel cilinder: 0.3
b) coefficient of friction with oil in between the surfaces: 0.03

Solution:
a) The force F applied by the person (300 N) must be at least equal to the frictional force, given by:
F_f = \mu N
where \mu is the coefficient of friction, while N is the normal force. So we have:
F=\mu N
since we know that F=300 N and \mu=0.3, we can find N, the magnitude of the normal force:
N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.3}=1000 N

b) The problem is identical to that of the first part; however, this time the coefficienct of friction is \mu=0.03 due to the presence of the oil. Therefore, we have:
N= \frac{F}{\mu}= \frac{300 N}{0.03}=10000 N

What is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light?
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Photopolymerization is the term for hardening or curing the sealant or composite material by exposing the material to a curing light

Explanation:

It the process through which a photopolymer reacts to the radiations in presence of the Ultra-violet light. Photopolymers refers to those materials and liquid or the plastic resins that are hardened in presence of light source such as the lasers or the lamps. When these materials are irradiated, they undergo chemical reactions and they are hardened and become solid, and hence the process called photopolymerization. Photopolymerization is majorly used in the coating and printing industries and in also in dentistry to fill the top of teeth and prevent the cavities
