A laser beam of wavelength λ=632.8 nm shines at normal incidence on the reflective side of a compact disc. The tracks of tiny pi

ts in which information is coded onto the CD are 1.60 μm apart.For what nonzero angles of reflection (measured from the normal) will the intensity of light be maximum? Express your answer numerically. If there is more than one answer, enter each answer separated by a comma.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts given by the principles of superposition, specifically those described by Bragg's law in constructive interference.

Mathematically this relationship is given as

dsin\theta = n\lambda

Where,

d = Distance between slits

\lambda = Wavelength

n = Any integer which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

\theta = sin^{-1} (\frac{n\lambda}{d})

Calculating the value for n, we have

n = 1

\theta_1 = sin^{-1} (\frac{\lambda}{d})\\\theta_1 = sin^{-1} (\frac{632.8*10^{-9}}{1.6*10^{-6}})\\\theta_1 = 23.3\°

n=2

\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (\frac{2\lambda}{d})\\\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (2\frac{632.8*10^{-9}}{1.6*10^{-6}})\\\theta_2 = 52.28\°

n =3

\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (\frac{2\lambda}{d})\\\theta_2 = sin^{-1} (3\frac{632.8*10^{-9}}{1.6*10^{-6}})\\\theta_2 = \text{not possible}

Therefore the intensity of light be maximum for angles 23.3° and 52.28°

You open the refrigerator in your room and put in a case of room-temperature root beer. After an hour, the root beer is ice cold
agasfer [191]

Answer:

warmer

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy tells us that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can be transferred or converted from one from to another. In this question when the beer that is at room temperature is put in the fridge, it loses some heat energy. This heat energy is not destroyed, the fridge through  multiple processes eventually releases this heat to the room through pipes at the back which is why they are normally warm. the heat from the food inside is expelled to the room. It is not lost.

A cylinder of radius R and height H is floating upright in
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Pressure difference between Top and Bottom of the cylinder is given as

\Delta P = \frac{gH}{2}(\rho_A + \rho_B)

Explanation:

As we know that the force due to pressure is balanced by the weight of the cylinder

So we will have

F = mg

so we have

\Delta P \pi R^2 = mg

so we have

\Delta P \pi R^2 = \pi R^2(\rho_A(\frac{H}{2}) + \rho_B(\frac{H}{2}))g

so we have

\Delta P = \frac{gH}{2}(\rho_A + \rho_B)

Alyse runs to her classroom which is 20 meters away. She forgets her physics book in her locker and must return 20 meters in the
notka56 [123]

The average velocity of Alyse is 0 m/s.

<h3>What is the average velocity of an object or a person?</h3>

The average velocity of a person is the average of all the velocities of moving as it moves.

Velocity on its own is the ratio of the displacement of a body and the time taken for that displacement.

Mathematically:

  • Average velocity = total displacement / time taken

Displacement is a vector quantity that measures the distance traveled by a moving body in a specific direction.

Hence, average velocity and velocity are both vector quantities.

Displacement takes a measure of the shortest possible distance along a straight line from the beginning of the motion until the end of the motion.

Calculating the average velocity of Alyse:

Assuming the initial direction is positive and n=backeard direction is negative:

Total displacement = 20 m + - (20 m)

Total displacement = 0 m

total time = 3 minutes

Average velocity = 0 m/ 3

Average velocity = 0 m/s

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

a 15.22 m/s

b 45.65 m

Explanation:

Using the same formula,

x = vt, where

x is now 45.65, and

t is 3 s, then

45.65 = 3v

v = 45.65/3

v = 15.22 m/s

See the attachment for the part b. We used the distance gotten in part B, to find question A
