Light from a laser with wavelength 400 nm passed through two small openings and produces an interference pattern on a screen 1 m

away. If the first point of destructive interference occurs at an angle of 0.1 radians, what is the distance between the two openings?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to destructive interference from double-slit experiments. For this purpose we will define the path difference as,

\text{Path difference}= dsin\theta = (2n-1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

Here,

\lambda = Wavelength

\theta = Angle when occurs the interference point of destructive interference

Our values are given as,

\text{Wavelength} = \lambda = 400nm = 4*10^{-7}m

\text{Distance of Screen} = D = 1m

Using the previous expression we have,

d \times \theta = \frac{\lambda}{2}

d \times (0.1) = \frac{4*10^{-7}}{2}

d = 2*10^{-6} m

d = 2\mu md = 2\mu m

Therefore the distance between the two openings is 2\mu m

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes the egg 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<em>B. 68.6m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion </u>

When a body is left to move in the air with no friction, the motion is ruled only by the force of gravity. The vertical distance a body travels in the air after a time t is .

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

We know the egg takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. The height it was launched from is

\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(3.474)^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=68.54\ m

The closest correct option is

B. 68.6m

The root-mean-square speed (thermal speed) of the molecules of a gas is 200m/s at 23.0°C. At 227°C the root-mean-square speed (t
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

330 m/s  approx

Explanation:

The RMS speed of a gas is proportional to square root of its absolute temperature is

V ( RMS ) ∝ √T

\frac{V_1}{V_2} =\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2} }

Here V₁ = 200 , T₁ = 23 +273 = 300K , T₂ = 227 +273 = 500 K

Putting the values

200 / V₂ = \sqrt{\frac{300}{500} }

V₂ = 330 m/s  approx
