What type of light does this light bulb produce most (i.e. at what wavelength does the spectrum have maximum intensity)?
lesantik [10]

Answer: The light bulb produces the continuous light. At minimum wavelength the spectrum have maximum intensity.

Explanation:

According to Wein's displacement law, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature.

The intensity depends on the frequency. The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

Therefore, when the temperature of the light bulb will be maximum then the wavelength will be minimum. At minimum wavelength the spectrum have maximum intensity.

A wooden disk of mass m and radius r has a string of negligible mass is wrapped around it. If the disk is allowed to fall and th
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

a = \frac{2}{3}g

T = \frac{mg}{3}

Explanation:

As the disc is unrolling from the thread then at any moment of the time

We have force equation as

mg - T = ma

also by torque equation we can say

TR = I\alpha

TR = \frac{1}{2}mR^2(\frac{a}{R})

T = \frac{1}{2}ma

Now we have

mg - \frac{1}{2}ma = ma

mg = \frac{3}{2}ma

a = \frac{2}{3}g

Also from above equation the tension force in the string is

T = \frac{1}{2}ma

T = \frac{mg}{3}

A physics professor wants to perform a lecture demonstration of Young's double-slit experiment for her class using the 633-nm li
babunello [35]

Answer:

0.00001266 m

Explanation:

D = Distance from source to screen

m = Order

d = Slit separation

The distance from a point on the screen to the center line

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

At m = 0

y_0=0

y_1-y_0=35\ cm\\\Rightarrow y_1=35\ cm

At m = 1

y_1=\frac{1\times 633\times 10^{-9}\times 7}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\frac{1\times 633\times 10^{-9}\times 7}{0.35}\\\Rightarrow d=0.00001266\ m

The slit separation is 0.00001266 m

Which force changes the lithosphere by building up the surface?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

volcanic eruptions

Explanation:

The volcanic eruptions are the ones that manage to cause changes to the lithosphere by building up new material on the surface. Through the volcanic eruptions we have release of pyroclastic material on the surface, and more importantly and in much higher amount lava flows. The lava flows quickly cool off on the surface on the Earth, and as they do they pile up new layers of igneous rocks, thus new crust on the surface of the Earth, causing changes on the lithosphere and shaping it for the foreseeable future.

A bicyclist of mass 68 kg rides in a circle at a speed of 3.9 m/s. If the radius of the circle is 6.5 m, what is the centripetal
ASHA 777 [7]
Data:
Centripetal Force = ? (Newton)
m (mass) = 68 Kg
s (speed) = 3.9 m/s
R (radius) = 6.5 m

Formula:
F_{centripetal\:force} =  \frac{m*s^2}{R}

Solving:
F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{m*s^2}{R}
F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{68*3.9^2}{6.5}
F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{68*15.21}{6.5}
F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{1034.28}{6.5}
\boxed{\boxed{F_{centripetal\:force} = 159.12\:N}}
