Answer:

B. Light shining on a surface has gaps after passing through two

slits.

Explanation:

Destructive interference is said to occur when two waves cancel out each other. The occurrence of this phenomenon implies that the waves have equal amplitude in opposite directions.

When light shinning on a surface has two gaps after passing through two slits, then the waves have interfered destructively which led to the gaps.

3. The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter. (a) What is its angular velocity in radians per second i

Darya [45]

Answer:

(a) Angular velocity will be 125.6 rad/sec

(b) Linear velocity will be 144.44 m /sec

Explanation:

We have given diameter d = 2.30 m

So radius r = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.30}{2}=1.15m$

(a) Speed is given as 1200 rev/min

We know that angular velocity is given by $\omega =\frac{2\pi N}{60}=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 1200}{60}=125.6rad/sec$

(b) Linear speed is given by $v=\omega r=125.6\times 1.15=144.44m/sec$

We know that $g=9.81m/sec^2$

So $18141.66m/sec^2=\frac{18141.664}{9.81}=1849.3031g$

10. The electron dot diagram for the element Ne would have

zmey [24]

Answer:

2,8

Explanation:

The first electron shell would have 2 electrons, the second shell would have 8 electrons. This is because Neon has a relative charge of 10.

How do you find the water pressure at the bottom of the 55-m-high water tower?

svp [43]

-- What's the volume of a cylinder with radius=1m and height=55m ?

   ( Volume of a cylinder = π R² h )

-- How much does that volume of water weigh ?

    1 liter of water = 1 kilogram of mass
Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

-- What's the area of the bottom of that 1m-radius cylinder ?

   Pressure = (force) / (area)

A bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes.

zaharov [31]

Given that,

Frequency emitted by the bat, f = 47.6 kHz

The speed off sound in air, v = 413 m/s

We need to find the wavelength detected by the bat. The speed of a wave is given by formula as follows :

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{413}{47.6\times 10^3}\\\\\lambda=0.00867\ m$

$\lambda=8.67\ mm$

So, the bat can detect small objects such as an insect whose size is approximately equal to the wavelength of the sound the bat makes i.e. 8.67 mm.
