The spacing between the first-order and second-order bright fringes is 3 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

<h3>What is double slit experiment?</h3>

The double-slit experiment serves as a proof in current physics that both light and matter may exhibit properties of classically defined waves and particles. It also illustrates the inherently probabilistic nature of quantum mechanical events. Thomas Young carried out the first experiment of this kind employing light in 1802, illustrating how light behaves like a wave. It was formerly believed that light was made up of either waves or particles. About a century later, with the advent of modern physics, it was discovered that light may in fact exhibit behaviour like that of both waves and particles. The identical behaviour of electrons was first shown by Davisson and Germer in 1927, and it was later extended to atoms and molecules.

The separation between the slits, d = 0.05mm = 5×10⁻⁵ m

The distance from the slits to a screen, D = 2.5 m

Let x is the spacing between the first-order and second-order bright fringes when coherent light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates the slits,

λ = 600nm = 6× 10⁻⁷ m  

We know that the bright fringe is given by :

y = nλD/d

So, the spacing between the first-order and second-order bright fringes is :

x = 2λD/d - λD/d

x =  λD/d

x = 6 × 10⁻⁷ × 2.5/5 × 10⁻⁵

x = 0.03 m

or

x = 3 cm

So, the spacing between the first-order and second-order bright fringes is 3 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 1.4-kg block slides freely across a rough surface such that the block slows down with an acceleration of â1.25 m/s2. what is t
Marianna [84]

Mass of the block = 1.4 kg

Weight of the block = mg = 1.4 × 9.8 = 13.72 N

Normal force from the surface (N) = 13.72 N

Acceleration = 1.25 m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be μ

Friction force = μN

F(net) = ma

μmg = ma

μg = a

μ = \frac{a}{g}

μ = \frac{1.25}{9.8}

μ = 0.1275

Hence, the coefficient of kinetic friction is: μ = 0.1275

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=m₂ = m

m₃ = 2 m

Given that speed of the two pieces

u₁=- 25 j m/s

u₂ =- 25 i m/s

Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s

From linear momentum conservation

Pi= Pf

0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v

0 = -25 j m  - 25 i m + 2 m v

2 v=25 j   + 25 i m/s

v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s
