Light of wavelength 608.0 nm is incident on a narrow slit. The diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 88.5 cm from the slit.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

The width of the slit is 0.167 mm

Explanation:

Wavelength of light, $\lambda=608\ nm=608\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Distance from screen to slit, D = 88.5 cm = 0.885 m

The distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is 1.61 cm, y = 1.61 cm = 0.0161 m

We need to find the width of the slit. The formula for the distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is :

$y=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{a}$

where

a = width of the slit

$a=\dfrac{mD\lambda}{y}$

$a=\dfrac{5\times 0.885\ m\times 608\times 10^{-9}\ m}{0.0161\ m}$

a = 0.000167 m

$a=1.67\times 10^{-4}\ m$

a = 0.167 mm

So, the width of the slit is 0.167 mm. Hence, this is the required solution.

4. The atmosphere is composed of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% argon. Typical atmospheric pressure in Boulder, Colorado

photoshop1234 [79]

ANS

Step 1 :Explanation of required formula.

According to Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures, the partial pressure of a component of a gaseous mixture depends on the mole ratio of said component and the total pressure of the gaseous mixture

i.e Pi=Xi × Ptotal,

Here we don't know exactly how many moles of the mixture we have,

but we know that 78.0% of all the molecules present in the mixture are nitrogen molecules, 21.0% are oxygen molecules, and 1% are molecules of Ar gas.

As we know, a mole is simply a very large collection of molecules. In order to have one mole of a substance, we need to have 6.022 × 1023 molecules of that substance.

This means that the actual number of moles is not important here, because the ratio that exists between the number of molecules is equivalent to the ratio that exists between the number of moles.

Hence,

Step 2 : Calculate of mole fraction of the mixture.

mole fraction of nitrogen = 78 /100 = 0.78

mole fraction of O2 =

21 /100 = 0.21

mole fraction of Argon =

1 /100 = 0.01.

Step 3 : Calculate the pressure contributed by each of the mixture.

The pressure contributed by N2 = mole fraction of N2 × Total pressure = 0.78 × 0.83 atm = 0.6474 atm

The pressure contributed by O2 = 0.21 × 0.83 atm = 0.1743 atm

The pressure contributed by N2 = 0.01 × 0.83 atm = 0.0083 atm.

Thank You !!!!!!

An electrician wraps rubber electrical tape around a copper wire. Since rubber is an insulator, which statement best explains th

yuradex [85]

A) Rubber stops charges from flowing. This protects people by stopping electricity from flowing.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the point of wrapping rubber around the copper wire is that the rubber stops charges from flowing. This prevents people from getting electrical shocks by stopping the flow of electricity.

A rubber is an insulator.
Insulators are substances that prevents the flow of electricity.
The lack free mobile electrons or ions that makes them conductors.
When they are wrapped round a conductor such as copper wire, they will halt the flow of charges.
Copper is a conductor of both heat and electricity. It has free mobile electrons.
