Answer:
halve the slit separation
Explanation:
As we know that
In YDS experiment, the equation of fringe width is as follows
[tex]\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}[/tex]
where,
D denotes the separation in the middle of screen and slits
d denotes the distance in the middle of two slits
And to increase the Δx we have to decrease the d i.e, the distance between the two slits
Hence, the first option is correct
A square loop, length l on each side, is shot with velocity v0 into a uniform magnetic field B. The field is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. The loop has mass m and resistance R, and it enters the field at t = 0s. Assume that the loop is moving to the right along the x-axis and that the field begins at x = 0m.
Required:
Find an expression for the loop's velocity as a function of time as it enters the magnetic field.
Answer:
v₀(1 + B²L²t/mR)
Explanation:
We know that the force on the loop is F = BIL where B = magnetic field strength, I = current and L = length of side of loop. Now the current in the loop I = ε/R where ε = induced e.m.f in the loop = BLv₀ where v₀ = velocity of loop and r = resistance of loop
F = BIL = B(BLv₀)L/R = B²L²v₀/R
Since F = ma where a = acceleration of loop and m = mass of loop
a = F/m = B²L²v₀/mR
Using v = u + at where u = initial velocity of loop = v₀, t = time after t = 0 and v = velocity of loop after time t = 0
Substituting the value of a and u into v, we have
v = v₀ + B²L²v₀t/mR
= v₀(1 + B²L²t/mR)
So the velocity of the loop after time t is v = v₀(1 + B²L²t/mR)
The expression for the loop's velocity as a function of time as it enters the magnetic field is v = v₀(1 + B²L²t/mR).
Calculation of the loop velocity:As we know that
Force on the loop
F = BIL
here
B = magnetic field strength,
I = current
and L = length of side of loop.
Now
the current in the loop I = ε/R
where
ε = induced e.m.f in the loop = BLv₀
where v₀ = velocity of loop
and r = resistance of loop
So,
F = BIL = B(BLv₀)L/R = B²L²v₀/R
Also, F = ma where a = acceleration of loop and m = mass of loop
Now
a = F/m = B²L²v₀/mR
We have to use
v = u + at
where
u = initial velocity of loop = v₀,
t = time after t = 0
and v = velocity of loop after time t = 0
So, it be like
v = v₀ + B²L²v₀t/mR
= v₀(1 + B²L²t/mR)

"Can we consider light wave as a single frequency wave? Either Yes or No, explain the reason of your answer. "
Answer:
Well, yes.
We can have an isolated light wave that is defined by only one frequency (and one wavelenght). But this is not a really common situation, most of the light that we can see in nature, is actually a composition of different waves with different frequencies.
Even if we have, for example, a red laser, the actual frequency of the light that comes from the laser may be in a range of frequencies, so the actual wave is a composition of different waves with really close frequencies.
An example of a light wave defined by only one frequency can be, for example, the photon that comes out of a change in energy of an electron.
Here we have a single photon, with a single frequency, that is modeled as a single frequency wave.
A hydraulic lift raises a 2 000-kg automobile when a 500-N force is applied to the smaller piston. If the smaller piston has an area of 10 cm2, what is the cross-sectional area of the larger piston
Answer:
The cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 392 cm²
Explanation:
Given;
output mass of the piston, m₀ = 2000 kg
input force of the piston, F₁ = 500 N
input area of the piston, A₁ = 10 cm² = 0.001 m²
The output force is given by;
F₀ = m₀g
F₀ = 2000 x 9.8
F₀ = 19600 N
The cross-sectional area of the larger piston or output area of the piston will be calculated by applying the following equations;
[tex]\frac{F_i}{A_i} = \frac{F_o}{A_o} \\\\A_o= \frac{F_o A_i}{F_i} \\\\A_o = \frac{19600*0.001}{500} \\\\A_o = 0.0392 \ m^2\\\\A_o = 392 \ cm^2[/tex]
Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the larger piston is 392 cm²
As the frequency of the ac voltage across a capacitor approaches zero, the capacitive reactance of that capacitor:_______.
a. approaches zero.
b. approaches infinity.
c. approaches unity.
d. none of the above.
Answer:
b. approaches infinity
Explanation:
Because Capacitive reactance is given as Xc = 1/ωC
So we can see that the value of capacitive reactance and therefore its overall impedance (in Ohms) decreases to zero as the frequency increases acting like a short circuit.
Same as the frequency approaches zero or DC, the capacitors reactance increases to infinity, acting like an open circuit which is why capacitors block DC
A long, horizontal hose of diameter 5.4 cm is connected to a faucet. At the other end, there is a nozzle of diameter 1.2 cm. Water squirts from the nozzle at velocity 20 m/sec. Assume that the water has no viscosity or other form of energy dissipation.
a) What is the velocity of the water in the hose?
b) What is the pressure differential between the water in the hose and water in the nozzle?
c) How long will it take to fill a tub of volume 120 liters with the hose?
Answer:
a) 0.988 m/s
b) 199512 Pa
c) 57.52 s
Explanation:
given that
A
A1 v1 = A2 v2
d1² v1 = d2² v2
v2 = [d1/d2]² v1
v2 = (1.2/5.4)² * 20
v2 = 0.049 * 20
v2 = 0.988 m/s
B
P + 1/2 ρ v² = K.
[p2 - p1] = 1/2 ρ [v1² - v2²]
[p2 - p1] = 1/2 * 1000 [20² - 0.988²]
[p2 - p1] = 500 * (400 - 0.976)
[p2 - p1] = 500 * 399
[p2 - p1] = 199512 Pa
C
Flow rate = AV = π [d²/ 4 ] * v
= π [0.012² / 4 ] * 20 = 0.00226 m³ /s
= π [0.054² / 4 ] * 0.988 = 0.00226 m³ /s
130 liters = 0.13 m³
t = 0.13/ 0.00226 = 57.52 s

What is the observed wavelength of the 656.3 nm (first Balmer) line of hydrogen emitted by a galaxy at a distance of 2.40 x 108 ly
Answer:
λ = 667.85 nm
Explanation:
Let f be the frequency detected by the observer
Let v be the speed at which the observer is moving.
Now, when the direction at which the observer is moving is away from the source, we have the frequency as;
f = f_o√((1 - β)/(1 + β))
From wave equations, we know that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency. Thus, wavelength is now;
λ = λ_o√((1 + β)/(1 - β))
Where, β = Hr/c
H is hubbles constant which has a value of 0.0218 m/s • ly
c is speed of light = 3 × 10^(8) m/s
r is given as 2.40 x 10^(8) ly
Thus,
β = (0.0218 × 2.4 x 10^(8))/(3 × 10^(8))
β = 0.01744
Since we are given λ_o = 656.3 nm
Then;
λ = 656.3√((1 + 0.01744)/(1 - 0.01744))
λ = 667.85 nm
Find the momentum of a particl with a mass of one gram moving with half the speed of light.
Answer:
129900
Explanation:
Given that
Mass of the particle, m = 1 g = 1*10^-3 kg
Speed of the particle, u = ½c
Speed of light, c = 3*10^8
To solve this, we will use the formula
p = ymu, where
y = √[1 - (u²/c²)]
Let's solve for y, first. We have
y = √[1 - (1.5*10^8²/3*10^8²)]
y = √(1 - ½²)
y = √(1 - ¼)
y = √0.75
y = 0.8660, using our newly gotten y, we use it to solve the final equation
p = ymu
p = 0.866 * 1*10^-3 * 1.5*10^8
p = 129900 kgm/s
thus, we have found that the momentum of the particle is 129900 kgm/s

The radii a wheel are 25 cm
and 5cm respectively, it is found
that an effort of 40N is required
to raise slowly a load 16ON
160 N. Find the Mechanical
Adventage and Effeciency,
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that
Effort = 40N
Load = 16ON
M.A = load/effort
M.A= 160N/40N
M.A = 4
Velocity ratio = V.R =radius of the wheel/radius of the axel
= 25cm/5cm
= 5
Efficiency = mechanical advantage/velocity ratio × 100/1
= 4/5 × 100/1
= 0.8×100/1
= 80%
Hence, the mechanical advantage of the machine is 4 while the efficiency is 80%.
Ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium Rule for how light is refracted at the boundary between two materials Process that occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle
Answer:
TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
Explanation:
Retraction is defined as the change in the direction of light rays as it moves from less dense medium to a denser medium.
For us to have a critical angle, the ray must be passing from the denser medium to the less dense medium. As the angle of refraction in the less dense medium is increasing, the angle of incidence in the less dense medium also increases. A point will reach when the refracted ray will be parallel to the interface i.e angle of refraction is 90°, the angle of incidence at this point is known as the critical angle. If the angle of refraction keeps increasing further, it will get to a point when the refracted ray becomes reflected into the denser medium. At this stage we say that the ray is internally reflected and this is the point when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle.
Hence it can be concluded that the process that occurs when the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle is called TOTAL INTERNAL REFLECTION
Suppose you are playing hockey on a new-age ice surface for which there is no friction between the ice and the hockey puck. You wind up and hit the puck as hard as you can. After the puck loses contact with your stick, the puck will
Answer:
Not slow down or speed up.
Explanation:
Hitting the puck accelerates the speed of the puck from zero to the speed with which it leaves at the instance they lose contact. Since there is no friction between the puck and the ice, there will be no force decelerating or accelerating the hockey puck, allowing the puck to move away and remain in motion without speeding up or slowing down indefinitely theoretically.

A person can see clearly up close but cannot focus on objects beyond 75.0 cm. She opts for contact lenses to correct her vision.
(a) Is she nearsighted or farsighted?
(b) What type of lens (converging or diverging) is needed to correct her vision?
(c) What focal length contact lens is needed, and what is its power in diopters?
Answer:
(a) nearsighted
(b) diverging
(c) the lens strength in diopters is 1.33 D, and considering the convention for divergent lenses normally prescribed as: -1 33 D
Explanation:
(a) The person is nearsighted because he/she cannot see objects at distances larger than 75 cm.
(b) the type of correcting lens has to be such that it counteracts the excessive converging power of the eye of the person, so the lens has to be diverging (which by the way carries by convention a negative focal length)
(c) the absolute value of the focal length (f) is given by the formula:
[tex]f=\frac{1}{d} =\frac{1}{0.75} = 1.33\,D[/tex]
So it would normally be written with a negative signs in front indicating a divergent lens.

Which does not account for the fact that fish can survive the winter in ponds in temperate climate zones? 1. the density of ice versus that of water 2. the unique properties of water 3. the intermolecular bonding of water 4. the tendency for water to freeze from the bottom up
Answer:
3. the intermolecular bonding of water
Explanation:
Anomalous behavior of water is an advantage in aquatic habitat during winter. Because of some unique properties of water, it behaves irregularly. Thus, a pond or river does not freeze completely during winter.
Water has its highest density when temperature is 4[tex]^{0}C[/tex] , and lowest volume at 4[tex]^{0}C[/tex]. Thus, the denser layers of water sink accordingly until the upper layer is the least dense during winter. This layer then freeze leaving the layers below it unfrozen.
Answer:
D. The tendency for water to freeze from the bottom up.

A steel bridge is 1000 m long at -20°C in winter. What is the change in length when the temperature rises to 40°C in summer? The average coefficient of linear expansion of this steel is 11 × 10-6 C-1.
Answer:
ΔL = 0.66 m
Explanation:
The change in length on an object due to rise in temperature is given by the following equation of linear thermal expansion:
ΔL = αLΔT
where,
ΔL = Change in Length of the bridge = ?
α = Coefficient of linear thermal expansion = 11 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹
L = Original Length of the Bridge = 1000 m
ΔT = Change in Temperature = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature
ΔT = 40°C - (-20°C) = 60°C
Therefore,
ΔL = (11 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻¹)(1000 m)(60°C)
ΔL = 0.66 m
A radar installation operates at 9000 MHz with an antenna (dish) that is 15 meters across. Determine the maximum distance (in kilometers) for which this system can distinguish two aircraft 100 meters apart.
Answer:
R = 36.885 km
Explanation:
In order to distinguish the two planes we must use the Rayleigh criterion that establishes two distinguishable objects if in their diffraction the central maximum of one coincides with the first minimum of the other
The diffraction equation for slits is
a sin θ = m λ
the first minimum occurs for m = 1
sin θ = λ a
as the diffraction experiments the angles are very small, we approximate
sin θ = θ
θ = λ / a
This expression is for a slit, in the case of circular objects, when solving the system in polar coordinates, a numerical constant appears, leaving the expression of the form
θ = 1.22 λ / a
In this problem they give us the frequency, let's find the wavelength with the relation
c = λ f
λ = c / f
θ = 1.22 c/ f a
since they ask us for the distance between the planes, we can use the definition of radians
θ = s / R
if we assume that the distance is large, we can approximate the arc to the horizontal distance
s = x
we substitute
x / R = 1.22 c / fa
R = x f a / 1.22c
Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
f = 9000 MHz = 9 109 Hz
a = 15 m
x = 100 m
let's calculate
R = 100 10⁹ 15 / (1.22 3 108)
R = 3.6885 10⁴ m
let's reduce to km
R = 3.6885 10¹ km
R = 36.885 km

[tex]B_o = \sqrt{\frac{2*4\pi *10^{-7}*2300}{3*10^8} } \\\\B_o = 4.3899 *10^{-6} \ T[/tex]
The amplitude of the oscillating electric field is given by;
E₀ = cB₀
E₀ = 3 x 10⁸ x 4.3899 x 10⁻⁶
E₀ = 1316.96 N/C
Therefore, the amplitude of the oscillating electric field is 1316.96 N/C
Seismic attenuation and how spherical spreading affect amplitude, can anyone explain this please!
Answer:
Hey there!
This can be a confusing topic, so it's totally fine if you get confused...
First, Seismic Attenuation is how seismic waves lose energy as they expand and spread.
Secondly, when distance increases, amplitude decreases. This is because the distance (spherical spreading would mean radius) is inversely proportional to amplitude.

Surface waves are a type of mechanical wave that propagate along the interface between two different mediums, such as the ground and air or the surface of water. These waves combine properties of both longitudinal and transverse waves
Similar to longitudinal waves, surface waves involve particles oscillating in the same direction as the wave propagation. This creates compressions and rarefactions, leading to variations in density or pressure. These compressions and rarefactions are characteristic of longitudinal waves.
However, surface waves also exhibit transverse motion. As the wave propagates along the surface, particles move in a perpendicular direction to the wave's motion. This transverse motion causes particles to displace vertically or horizontally, similar to transverse waves.
By combining both longitudinal and transverse characteristics, surface waves possess a complex motion that allows them to travel along the surface while simultaneously causing particles to oscillate both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

Two imaginary spherical surfaces of radius R and 2R respectively surround a positive point charge Q located at the center of the concentric spheres. When compared to the number of field lines N1 going through the sphere of radius R, the number of electric field lines N2 going through the sphere of radius 2R is
Answer:
N2 = ¼N1
Explanation:
First of all, let's define the terms;
N1 = number of electric field lines going through the sphere of radius R
N2 = number of electric field lines going through the sphere of radius 2R
Q = the charge enclosed at the centre of concentric spheres
ε_o = a constant known as "permittivity of the free space"
E1 = Electric field in the sphere of radius R.
E2 = Electric field in the sphere of radius 2R.
A1 = Area of sphere of radius R.
A2 = Area of sphere of radius 2R
Now, from Gauss's law, the electric flux through the sphere of radius R is given by;
Φ = Q/ε_o
We also know that;
Φ = EA
Thus;
E1 × A1 = Q/ε_o
E1 = Q/(ε_o × A1)
Where A1 = 4πR²
E1 = Q/(ε_o × 4πR²)
Similarly, for the sphere of radius 2R,we have;
E2 = Q/(ε_o × 4π(2R)²)
Factorizing out to get;
E2 = ¼Q/(ε_o × 4πR²)
Comparing E2 with E1, we arrive at;
E2 = ¼E1
Now, due to the number of lines is proportional to the electric field in the each spheres, we can now write;
N2 = ¼N1
