Which of the 25 worst earthquakes in history will you do your research on? Why did you choose this earthquake?

1 answer:

8 0

One of the worst earthquake i would say is the Valdivia earthquake

Ill say this one because the quake created a tsunami, which together killed an estimated 5,700 people

Hope this helps

A laser emits two wavelengths (λ1 = 420 nm; λ2 = 630 nm). When these two wavelengths strike a grating with 450 lines/mm, they pr

Westkost [7]

A) Order of the first laser: 3, order of the second laser: 2

B) The overlap occurs at an angle of $34.9^{\circ}$

Explanation:

The formula that gives the position of the maxima (bright fringes) for a diffraction grating is

$d sin \theta = m \lambda$

where

d is spacing between the lines in the grating

$\theta$ is the angle of the maximum

m is the order of diffraction

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

For laser 1,

$d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1$

For laser 2,

$d sin \theta = m_2 \lambda_2$

where

$\lambda_1 = 420 nm\\\lambda_2 = 630 nm$

Since the position of the maxima in the two cases overlaps, then the term $d sin \theta$ on the left is the same for the two cases, therefore we can write:

$m_1 \lambda_1 = m_2 \lambda_2\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{630}{420}=\frac{3}{2}$

Therefore:

$m_1 = 3$

$m_2 = 2$

In order to find the angle at which the overlap occurs, we use the 1st laser situation:

$d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1$

where:

N = 450 lines/mm = 450,000 lines/m is the number of lines per unit length, so the spacing between the lines is

$d=\frac{1}{N}=\frac{1}{450,000}=2.2\cdot 10^{-6} m$

$m_1 = 3$ is the order of the maximum

$\lambda_1 = 420 nm = 420\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the wavelength of the laser light

Solving for $\theta$ , we find the angle of the maximum:

$sin \theta = \frac{m_1 \lambda_1}{d}=\frac{(3)(420\cdot 10^{-9})}{2.2\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.572$

So the angle is

$\theta=sin^{-1}(0.572)=34.9^{\circ}$

PLEASE HELP!!!! :D When you look at the Sun through a filtered telescope, the visible portion of the Sun appears blotchy.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

When an individual looks through a filtered telescope in which he or she observes the sun, the portion where it appears blotchy is likely to be called the sunspots while the layer of the sun where it shows where it occurs is called the photosphere.

Answer:

m v1 = (m + M) v2

v2 = m v1 / (m + M)

v2 = 7 * 74 / (74 + 65)
