Answer:

0.66 degrees

Explanation:

The computation of the angle of the third dark interference is shown below:

The condition of the minima is

Path difference = (2n +1) × $\lambda$ ÷ 2

For third minima, n = 2

Now

xd ÷ D = (2 × 2 + 1) × $\lambda$ ÷ 2

d tan Q_3 = 5 $\lambda$ ÷ 2

tan Q_3 = 5 $\lambda$ ÷ 2d

Q_3 = tan^-1 × (5 $\lambda$ ÷2d)

= tan^-1 × (5 × 580 × 10^-9) ÷ (2 × 0.000125)

= 0.66 degrees

Is the alien theory a scientific claim? Why or why not?

spin [16.1K]

I'm not sure what the alien Theory says or if there really is such a theory. If the theory says that aliens definitely exist and that they have visited Earth in the past then the theory is totally and completely without any kind of support. It's not scientific in any way because there is no evidence for such a claim. It may be thought to be probable but no solid evidence has ever been presented.

Sirius A is 8.6 light-years from Earth. What is this distance in kilometers? What is this distance in feet?

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

a. 8.136 × 10¹³ km b. 2.669 × 10¹⁹ feet

Explanation:

a. What is this distance in kilometers?

Since Sirius A is 8.6 light years away from Earth and one light year = distance travelled by light in a year = 3 × 10⁸ m/ s × 365 days/year × 24 hr/day × 3600 s/hr = 9.4608 × 10¹⁵ m = 9.4608 × 10¹² km.

Then 8.6 light years = 8.6 × 1 light year

= 8.6 × 9.4608 × 10¹² km

= 81.363 × 10¹² km

= 8.1363 × 10¹³ km

≅ 8.136 × 10¹³ km

b. What is this distance in feet?

Since 1 meter = 3.28 feet,

8.6 light years = 8.1363 × 10¹² km

= 8136.3 × 10¹⁵ m

= 8136.3 × 10¹⁵ × 1 m

= 8136.3 × 10¹⁵ × 3.28 feet

= 26687.1 × 10¹⁵ feet

= 2.66871 × 10¹⁹ feet

≅ 2.669 × 10¹⁹ feet

There is a 50 g sample of Ra-229. It has a half-life of 4 minutes.

Sloan [31]

Via half-life equation we have:

$A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h} }$

Where the initial amount is 50 grams, half-life is 4 minutes, and time elapsed is 12 minutes. By plugging those values in we get:

$A_{final}=50(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{12}{4}=50(\frac{1}{2})^{3}=50(\frac{1}{8})=6.25g$

There is 6.25 grams left of Ra-229 after 12 minutes.
