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

PLEASE HELPP MEEE!!!!!!!!!The goal is to increase the power; therefore, it is necessary to
Brrunno [24]

As we know that power is defined as rate of work done

so we will have

P = \frac{Work}{time}

so in order to increase the power as per above formula we know that either we need to increase the work or we need to decrease the time to complete that work

So here the correct answer will be

increase the work being done or decrease the time in which the work is completed.

steposvetlana [31]
Someone can make an introduction about getting a flu shot because, mostly everyone in the world have gotten or just got a flu shot. One example of a pro is that, a flu shot can prevent the flu, and other deadly sicknesses. On example of a con is that, some flu shots can carry side effects which is something that should be tested before given to adults and especially kids!!! Hope this helps!!! Good luck

At which temperature does the motion of atoms and molecules stop?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

0 Kelvin

Explanation:

Atoms in absolute temperature get approximatelly motionless since 0 Kelvin is -273 degrees Celcius. The kinetic energy of atoms/particles in matter has the possible lowest value ( almost zero), so that there is nothing colder than 0 Kelvin.

A point moves on the x-axis in such a way that its velocity at time t (t > 0) is given by v=ln t/t . At what value of t does
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Velocity of point is given by v=\frac{\ln t}{t}

To get maximum or minimum velocity differentiate v w.r.t t

\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{\frac{1}{t}\times t-1\times \ln(t)}{t^2}

so 1-\ln (t) should be equal to zero

\ln (t)=1

t=e

i.e. t=2.718\ s
