A pair of slits, separated by 0.150 mm, is illuminated by light having a wavelength of λ = 643 nm. An interference pattern is ob

served on a screen 140 cm from the slits. Consider a point on the screen located at y = 1.80 cm from the central maximum of this pattern. What is the path difference δ for the two slits at the location y?

Answer:

0.006 m

Explanation:

d = separation between the slits = 0.150 mm = 0.150 x 10⁻³ m

λ = wavelength of the light = 643 nm = 643 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = distance of the screen where interference pattern is observed = 140 cm = 1.40 m

δ = Path difference

Path difference is given as

δ = Dλ/d

δ = (1.40) (643 x 10⁻⁹)/(0.150 x 10⁻³)

δ = 0.006 m

Answer:

just-noticeable difference

Explanation:

Using principles of psychology and physics, a branch of experimental psychology called psychophysics has been created. This field is focused on the sensation, the sense and the perception of stimuli. Within this branch it has been called just-noticeable difference to the amount that must be changed of some stimulus so that this difference is noticeable, that is to say, the threshold at which the change is perceived.

Karen is running forward at a speed of 9 m/s. She tosses her sweaty headband backward at a speed of 20 m/s. The speed of the hea
Komok [63]
Let Karen's forward speed be considered as positive.
Therefore, before the headband is tossed backward, the speed of the headband is
V = 9 m/s

The headband is tossed backward relative to Karen at a speed of 20 m/s. Therefore the speed of the headband relative to Karen is
U = -20 m/s

The absolute speed of the headband, relative to a stationary observer is
V - U
= 9 + (-20)
= - 11 m/s

Answer:
The stationary observes the headband traveling (in the opposite direction to Karen) at a speed of 11 m/s backward.

A major benefit of the daguerreotype process is that ________.
tigry1 [53]

Daguerreotype is defined as the first practical photographic process which was introduced in Paris on January 7, 1839. To make the image permanent, Daguerre used salt solution. The result of his introduced process is a finely defined image with surface which is delicate. The major benefit of daguerreotype is if the images are correctly preserved, the pictures could last forever. Aside from this, since it produces superior quality of outline, it is thus suitable for portraitures.

As in the video, we apply a charge +Q to the half-shell that carries the electroscope. This time, we also apply a charge –Q to t
Andreyy89

Answer:

Explanation:

When the positively charged half shell is brought in contact with the electroscope, its needle deflects due to charge present on the shell.

When the negatively charged half shell is brought in contact with the positively charged shell , the positive and negative charge present on each shell neutralises each other  .So both the shells lose their charges .The positive half shell also loses all its charges

When we separate the half shells , there will be no deflection  in the electroscope because both the shell have already lost their charges and they have become neutral bodies . So they will not be able to produce any deflection in the electroscope.
