Coherent light of wavelength 525 nm passes through two thin slits that are 4.15×10^(−2) mm apart and then falls on a screen 7

5.0 cm away.
Part AHow far away from the central bright fringe on the screen is the fifth bright fringe (not counting the central bright fringe)?y5= cm
Part BHow far away from the central bright fringe on the screen is the eighth dark fringe?y8= cm

A) 4.7 cm

The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is

sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}

where

n is the order of the maximum

\lambda is the wavelength

a is the distance between the slits

In this problem,

n = 5

\lambda=525 nm =5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m

a=4.15\cdot 10^{-2} mm=4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m

So we find

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(5)(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=3.62^{\circ}

And given the distance of the screen from the slits,

D=75.0 cm = 0.75 m

The distance of the 5th  bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 3.62^{\circ}=0.047 m = 4.7 cm

B) 8.1 cm

The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:

sin \theta=\frac{(n+\frac{1}{2}) \lambda}{d}

To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:

\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(8+\frac{1}{2})(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=6.17^{\circ}

And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 6.17^{\circ}=0.081 m = 8.1 cm

As the Sun ages, what will happen to life here on Earth? Why?
Burka [1]

Answer:

As the Sun ages it will enter another stage of stellar evolution where it's atmosphere begins to inflate.As the Sun heats up and expands, life on Earth will become increasingly difficult. Long before the Sun becomes a red giant some 4 or 5 billion years from now, our planet will be rendered uninhabitable.

PolarNik [594]

If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on. Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces
