A flat screen is located 0.63 m away from a single slit. Light with a wavelength of 550 nm (in vacuum) shines through the slit a

nd produces a diffraction pattern. The width of the central bright fringe on the screen is 0.053 m. What is the width of the slit?

Answer:

1.308 * 10^(-5) m

Explanation:

We apply the condition for a single slit experiment:

y = (λ * D) / a

Where y = half width of fringe

λ = wavelength of light

D = distance of slit from screen

a = width of slit

We need to find a, so we make a the subject of formula:

a = (λ * D) / y

From the question:

λ = 550 nm = 550 * 10^(-9) m

D = 0.63 m

y = 0.053 / 2 = 0.0265 m

Therefore:

a = (550 * 10^(-9) * 0.63) / 0.0265

a = 1.308 * 10^(-5) m

The width of the slit is 1.308 * 10^(-5) m

The measure of the energy of motion of particles of matter?
bekas [8.4K]
Mechanical energy is the top because it has two types.
These two types are:
Kinetic energy - which is the energy in motion and potential energy which is the energy in reserve.
Both energy in motion and reserve is called Joules. Joules is the International System of Measurement unit for energy, this is mainly used for scaling energy in all aspects.

Which standing wave has four antibodies?
frez [133]

Answer:

Term (symbol) Meaning

Standing wave Waves which appear to be vibrating vertically without traveling horizontally. Created from waves with identical frequency and amplitude interfering with one another while traveling in opposite directions.

Node Positions on a standing wave where the wave stays in a fixed position over time because of destructive interference.

Antinode Positions on a standing wave where the wave vibrates with maximum amplitude.

Fundamental frequency Lowest frequency of a standing wave that has the fewest number of nodes and antinodes.

Harmonic A standing wave that is a positive integer multiple of the fundamental frequency.
