Answer:

\lambda =533.6 nm

Explanation:

the slits spacing, d = 0.21 mm

distance of screen, D = 61 cm

The condition for minima is given as

dsin(\theta) = \left ( n+\frac{1}{2} \right )\lambda

So, first minima, n = 0

dsin(\theta_1) = \frac{1}{2}\lambda

fifth minima, n = 4

dsin(\theta_5) = \frac{9}{2}\lambda

d(sin(\theta_5) -sin(\theta_1))= 4\lambda

For small angle

d(tan(\theta_5) -tan(\theta_1))= 4\lambda

From the figure:

d(\frac{y_5}{D}-\frac{y_1}{D})= 4\lambda

\frac{d}{D} (y_5-y_1) = 4\lambda

\lambda = \frac{d}{4D} (y_5-y_1)

\lambda = \frac{0.021}{4(61)} (6.2 \times 10^{-3})

\lambda =533.6 nm

Which of the following are single-displacement reactions?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A & D

Explanation:

A single-displacement reaction is a chemical reaction whereby one element is substituted for another one in a compound and thereby generating a new element and also a new compound as products.

From the options, only options A & D fits this definition of single-displacement reactions.

For option D: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that K is substituted from KBr to join Cl to form KCl and Br2 on the right hand side.

For option A: Both left and hand and right hand sides each have one element and one compound. We can see that OH is substituted from 2H2O to join Mg to form Mg(OH)2 and H2 on the right hand side.

The other options are not correct because they don't involve only and element and a compound on each side of the reaction.

The tow spring on a car has a spring constant of 3,086 N / m and is initially stretched 18.00 cm by a 100.0 kg college student o
sdas [7]

Answer:

The velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

The spring constant of the spring, k = 3086 N/m

The spring is stretched 18 cm or 0.18 m

Mass of the student, m = 100 kg

Potential energy of the spring, P_f=20\ J

To find,

The velocity of the car.

Solution,

It is a case of conservation of energy. The total energy of the system remains conserved. So,

P_i=K_f+P_f

\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20

\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3086\times (0.18)^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2+20

50-20=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

30=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{60}{100}}

v = 0.774 m/s

So, the velocity of the skateboard is 0.774 m/s.

Nuclear _________ reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun. A) fission
Bogdan [553]

Nuclear fusion reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fusion reaction is one among the two nuclear reactions in which the atoms nucleus interact with each other to produce the products. In nuclear fusion, two smaller atoms react together to form a new atom with bigger size.

So large amount of energy is required to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The fusion reactions mostly occurs in stars. The illumination in Stars even the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reaction occurring with the atoms present in them.

Mostly the energy radiated by Sun is due to the protons-protons chain reaction. In this chain reaction, the protons get converted into helium due to nuclear fusion reaction, thus becoming the source of all energy radiated by the Sun.
