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

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

82.4 cm

Explanation:

The object and screen are kept fixed ie the distance between them is fixed and by displacing lens between them images are formed on the screen . In the first case let u be the object distance and v be the image distance

then ,

u + v = 184 cm

In the second case of image formation , v becomes u and u becomes v only then image formation in the second case is possible.

The difference between two object distance ie(  v - u ) is the distance by which lens is moved so

v - u = 82.4 cm

1. Which of the following transformations is an example of a β−-decay?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

1. C: 31/14 Si becomes 31/15 because a nuetron

2. A: 238  92U because the very long half-life means a very small rate of decay

3. D: Charge conservation is not satisfied

4. B: of the four nuclear decay processes only the α-decay changes the baryon number and does so in increments of four
