Answer:
When a light wave goes through a slit, it is diffracted, which means the slit opening acts as a new source of waves. How much a light wave diffracts<em> (how much it fans out)</em> depends on the wavelength of the incident light. The wavelength must be larger than the width of the slit for the maximum diffraction. Thus, for a given slit, red light, because it has a longer wavelength, diffracts more than the blue light.
The corresponding relation for diffraction is
,
where is the wavelength of light,
is the slit width, and
is the diffraction angle.
From this relation we clearly see that the diffraction angle is directly proportional to the wavelength
of light—longer the wavelength larger the diffraction angle.
Answer:
Explanation:
An object is at rest along a slope if the net force acting on it is zero. The equation of the forces along the direction parallel to the slope is:
(1)
where
is the component of the weight parallel to the slope, with m being the mass of the object, g the acceleration of gravity,
the angle of the slope
is the frictional force, with
being the coefficient of friction and R the normal reaction of the incline
The equation of the forces along the direction perpendicular to the slope is
where
R is the normal reaction
is the component of the weight perpendicular to the slope
Solving for R,
And substituting into (1)
Re-arranging the equation,
This the condition at which the equilibrium holds: when the tangent of the angle becomes larger than the value of , the force of friction is no longer able to balance the component of the weight parallel to the slope, and so the object starts sliding down.
