A typical sound wave has a wavelength of 1 meter. The wavelength of green light is about 500 billionths of a meter. Which type o

Answer: Sound wave diffracts more.

Explanation: Width of gap d  is smaller than wavelength λ of the gap.

You can estimate it from  equation  d sin α = n λ

The constant n is order of diffraction, n = 0,1,2,..

sin α = n λ / d   is greater when  λ/d is greater.

Consider the following spectrum where two colorful lines (A and B) are positioned on a dark background. The violet end of the sp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

This type of spectrum is called line emission spectrum . Because it consists of lines . It is emission spectrum because it is due to emission of radiation from a source .

b ) The wavelength of a photon  is inversely proportional to its energy .  Photon  due to transition between n = 1 and n = 3 will have higher energy than

that due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 . So the later photon ( B)  will have greater wavelength or photon  due to transition between n = 2 and n = 5 will have greater wavelength .

A star orbiting a black hole in a clockwise direction at a radial distance of 1.0 × 106 km is acted upon by a counterclockwise f
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

2.5 \times 10^{11} N-m upwards        

Explanation:

Torque is the vector cross product of the force and radial distance.

\tau = rF sin \theta

\tau = (1.0\times 10^6 \times 10^3) m \times 250 N\times sin 90^o \\\Rightarrow \tau= 2.5 \times 10^{11} N-m

The direction of the torque would be perpendicular to the direction of the force and radial distance. The direction of the force is counter-clockwise. The direction of the torque would be upwards.

A 100 cm3 block of lead weighs 11N is carefully submerged in water. One cm3 of water weighs 0.0098 N.
Pie

#1

Volume of lead = 100 cm^3

density of lead = 11.34 g/cm^3

mass of the lead piece = density * volume

m = 100 * 11.34 = 1134 g

m = 1.134 kg

so its weight in air will be given as

W = mg = 1.134* 9.8 = 11.11 N

now the buoyant force on the lead is given by

F_B = W - F_{net}

F_B = 11.11 - 11 = 0.11 N

now as we know that

F_B = \rho V g

0.11 = 1000* V * 9.8

so by solving it we got

V = 11.22 cm^3

(ii) this volume of water will weigh same as the buoyant force so it is 0.11 N

(iii) Buoyant force = 0.11 N

(iv)since the density of lead block is more than density of water so it will sink inside the water


#2

buoyant force on the lead block is balancing the weight of it

F_B = W

\rho V g = W

13* 10^3 * V * 9.8 = 11.11

V = 87.2 cm^3

(ii) So this volume of mercury will weigh same as buoyant force and since block is floating here inside mercury so it is same as its weight =  11.11 N

(iii) Buoyant force = 11.11 N

(iv) since the density of lead is less than the density of mercury so it will float inside mercury


#3

Yes, if object density is less than the density of liquid then it will float otherwise it will sink inside the liquid

valentinak56 [21]

The reading on the scale is the tension on the string that connects the two objecst. In order to support the blocks it must pull the weights by a force magnitude of W. So, the tension of the rope is W. Therefore, the reading on the scale is W, D.
