Answer:
The new separation distance between adjacent bright fringes will be <u>4 mm</u>
Explanation:
Since, the distance between adjacent bright fringes is given by the formula:
Δx₁ = λL/d = 2 mm -------- eqn (1)
where,
Δx = Distance between adjacent bright fringes
λ = wavelength of light = constant for both cases
L = Distance between the slits and the screen
d = slit separation
Now, for the second case:
Slit Separation = d/2
Therefore,
Δx₂ = λL/(d/2)
Δx₂ = 2(λL/d)
using eqn (1), we get:
Δx₂ = 2 Δx₁
Δx₂ = 2(2 mm)
<u>Δx₂ = 4 mm</u>
Answer: option C.
Fabrics such as cotton and silk are synthetic polymers
Explanation:
Fabrics such as cotton and silk are synthetic polymers because cotton and silk are natural polymers meaning they are gotten from natural source. Cotton is gotten from cotton plants and it is composed of cellulose which is a carbohydrates.
Silk also is gotten from animals I.efrom insect fibre or the cocoons of the larvae of the mulberry silkworm which is a polymer.
Objects sink if they are denser than water
Answer:
Mg (atomic number 12)
K (atomic number 19)
Explanation:
The size of an atom is estimated in terms of its atomic radius.
The atomic radius is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance (d) between two nuclei in the solid - state of metals.
- Across a period, atomic radii decrease progressively from left to right.
- This is due to the progressive increase in the nuclear charge without increase in the number of electronic shells.
- Down a group, atomic radii increase progressively due to the successive shells of electrons being added which have been compensated for by the increase in nuclear charge.
Cl is further right of Mg in the third period
K is below Na in the first group
