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

Assume you have an ice cube and also a small rock that is the same size and shape as the ice cube. Predict what would happen if
Step2247 [10]

Answer: The ice cube would float on top of the water and the rock would sink to the bottom.

Explanation: The ice cube has a smaller density than the rock which allows the ice cube to float but makes the rock sink to the bottom of the glass of water.

Four forces are exerted on a disk of radius R that is free to spin about its center, as shown above. The magnitudes are proporti
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The given magnitude of forces of F₁ = F₄, F₂ = F₃, F₁ = 2·F₂, give the

forces that exert zero net torque on the disk as the options;

(B) F₂

(D) F₄

<h3>How can the net torque on the disk be calculated?</h3>

The given parameters are;

F₁ = F₄

F₂ = F₃

F₁ = 2·F₂

Therefore;

F₄ = 2·F₂

In vector form, we have;

\vec{F_4} = \mathbf{\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \cdot F_4 \cdot \hat i -  0.5 \cdot F_4 \hat j}

\vec{F_2} = \mathbf{ -F_2 \,  \hat j}

Clockwise moment due to F₄, M₁ = -0.5 \times F_4 \,  \hat j  \times \dfrac{R}{2}

Therefore;

M_1  =- 0.5 \times 2 \times  F_2 \,  \hat j  \times \dfrac{R}{2} =   \mathbf{ -F_2 \,  \hat j  \times \dfrac{R}{2}}

Counterclockwise moment due to F₂ = -F_2 \,  \hat j  \times \dfrac{R}{2}

Given that the clockwise moment due to F₄ = The counterclockwise moment due to F₂, we have;

Two forces that combine to exert zero net torque on the disk are;

F₂, and F₄

Which are the options; (B) F₂, and (D) F₄

Pelvic girdle

In human anatomy, the pelvis is a complex of bones that connects the trunk and the legs, supports and balances the trunk, and houses and supports the intestines, the urinary bladder, and the internal organ. It is sometimes referred to as the bony pelvis or the pelvic girdle.
One is located on the left side of the body and the other is located on the right. They come together to make the pelvic girdle, a portion of the pelvis. The hip bones are attached to the upper portion of the skeleton at the sacrum.
The pelvic girdle's main function is to support the upper body's weight while seated and transfer that weight to the lower limbs while standing. For the muscles in the trunk and lower limbs, it functions as attachment point.
