Suppose the three resistors in the picture represents a 240 W television , a 720 W straightening iron and a 1440 W hair dryer, Will the fuse melt or blow ?

➪ The fuse will not blow but it will melt because a fuse never blows up.The fuse melts down to break the circuit and stop the extreme flow of current. The wire of a fuse is made up of solder, it has a high melting point so that when heavy current flows through it. The wire melts and breaks the circuit preventing it from catching fire.

A fuse is an electrical safety device which should not blow, which should overheat and melts if current is too high. Its placed in the live wire before the switch. This prevents overheating and catching fire. A fuse have a specific current value for example - 3000 amps. So when choosing a suitable fuse you must use the above minimum value but less than maximum value. For example in a circuit there is 1000W flowing, you should choose more than 1000 amps fuse not less or else, it will melt.

Light with a wavelength of about 490 nm is made to pass through a diffraction grating. the angle formed between the path of the

The number of lines per mm in the diffraction grating is 326.

<h3>What is diffraction grating?</h3>

A diffraction grating is a type of optical instrument obtained with a continuous pattern. The pattern of the diffracted light by a grating depends on the structure and number of elements present.

The given data in the problem is

$\rm \theta$ is the angle formed between the path of the incident light and the diffracted light = 9. 2°

λ is the wavelength of the light=490nm=4.9

N is the number of lines per mm in the diffraction grating=?

n is ordered = 1

The formula for the diffraction grating is;

$n \lambda = d sin\theta \\\\ d = \frac{n \lambda}{sin \theta } \\\\ d = \frac{1 \times 4.90 \times 10^{-7}}{sin 9.2^0 } \\\\ d=3.06 \times 10^{-6} \\\\ d=3.06 \times 10^{-3} \ mm$

The number of lines per mm is found as;

$\rm N= \frac{1}{d} \\\\ N= \frac{1}{3.06 \TIMES 10^{-3}} \\\\ N=326.8 /mm$

Hence the number of lines per mm in the diffraction grating is 326.

The nonreflective coating on a camera lens with an index of refraction of 1.21 is designed to minimize the reflection of 570-nm

lord [1]

Answer: 117.8 nm

Explanation:

Given,

Nonreflective coating refractive index : n = 1.21

Index of refraction: $n_0$ = 1.52

Wave length of light = λ = 570 nm = $570\times10^{-9}\ m$

$\text{ Thickness}=\dfrac{\lambda}{4n}$

$=\dfrac{570\times10^{-9}\ m}{4\times1.21}\\\\\approx\dfrac{117.8\times 10^{-9}\ m}{1}\\\\=117.8\text{ nm}$

Hence, the minimum thickness of the coating that will accomplish= 117.8 nm

Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s . At the same instant, a fly

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The fly travels 2.4 m

Explanation:

Since the Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s, we can find the time until they crash by the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = Distance /Speed

Time = (100 m) / (1 m/s)

Time = 100 hours

Now, the fly will spend the same amount of time traveling as the steamrollers.

Since the fly moves at a speed of 2.4 m/s and we have a time of one hour the steamroller take to collide, then the fly will go a distance of;

Distance = speed x time = 2.4 × 1 = 2.4 m
