Light shines through a single slit whose width is 5.7 x 10-4 m. A diffraction pattern is formed on a flat screen located 4.0 m a

way. The distance between the middle of the central bright fringe and the first dark fringe is 4.0 mm.
What is the wavelength of the light?

Answer:

\lambda = 570\ nm

Explanation:

Given,

Width of slit, W = 5.7 x 10⁻⁴ m

Distance between central bright fringe, L = 4 m

distance between central bright fringe and first dark fringe, y = 4 mm

Diffraction angle

tan \theta = \dfrac{y}{L}

tan \theta = \dfrac{4}{4\times 10^3}

\theta = 0.0572

Now.

W sin \theta = m \lambda

m = 1

5.7 \times 10^{-4} \times sin (0.0572) = 1 \times \lambda

\lambda = 569.99 \times 10^{-9}\ m

\lambda = 570\ nm

Define Refraction and give some knowlegde about it
shepuryov [24]
Refraction is the change in direction of a wave, caused by the change in the wave's speed. Examples of waves include sound waves and light waves. Refraction is seen most often when a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium. Different types of medium include air and water. When a wave passes from one transparent medium to another transparent medium, the wave will change its speed and its direction. For example, when a light wave travels through air and then passes into water, the wave will slow and change direction.

A major difference between AC and DC electricity is that A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction. B)
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

A) the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

Explanation:

In DC current and voltage the direction of current will not change with time and it always remains the same.

So here in DC voltage and DC current the magnitude may change with time but the direction will always remain same

While in AC voltage and AC current the direction of AC will change with time

periodically.

So here magnitude and direction both will change in AC current and AC voltage.

so the correct answer is

A)     the current in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

C) the voltage in AC electricity varies in magnitude and direction.

4.39 moles of gas in a box has a pressure of 2.25 atm at temperature of 385K. What is the volume of the box?
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

0.0619 m^3

Explanation

number of moles = n = 4.39 mol

pressure = P = 2.25 atm =2.25×1.01×10^5 Pa= 2.27×10^5 Pa

Molar gas constant =R = 8.31 J/(mol K)

Temperature T= 385K

volume of gas = V =?

BY GENERAL GAS LAW WE HAVE

PV = nRT

or V = nRT/P

or V = (4.39×8.31×385)/(2.27×10^5)

V = 0.0618728

V =  0.0619 m^3
