The pupil of the eye is the circular opening through which light enters. Its diameter can vary from about 8.00 mm to about 2.00

mm to control the intensity of the light reaching the interior. Calculate the angular resolution, ?R, of the eye for light that has a wavelength of 543 nm in both bright light and dim light.Dim light=______0 Bright light=__________0 At which light level is diffraction less of a limiting factor in the sharpness of your vision?A)BrightB) DimC) More information is needed to answerD) Diffraction is equally a factor in both intensities of light

Answer:

0.0047^{\circ}

0.018978^{\circ}

B) Dim

Explanation:

\theta = Angle

a = Pupil diameter

\lambda = Wavelength = 543 nm

Angular resolution is given by

sin\theta=1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{a}\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{a}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\times \dfrac{543\times 10^{-9}}{8\times 10^{-3}}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=0.0047^{\circ}

For the dim light the angle is 0.0047^{\circ}

sin\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{a}\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{a}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\left(1.22\times \dfrac{543\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 10^{-3}}\right)\\\Rightarrow \theta=0.018978^{\circ}

For the bright light the angle is 0.018978^{\circ}

The angular separation and sharpness are inversely related. Here, the dim light will produce a sharp image.

Hence, option B is correct

Suppose you want to make an interferometer with two slits to show the wave nature of light to your friends. The most convenient
nevsk [136]

Answer:

a) the pattern is bright,  b)  y = 8.25 mm, c) the distance increases with the wavelength increases

Explanation:

This is a team building exercise to perform interference experiments, where the separation of the slits is d = 1 m = 1 10⁻³ m and the distance to the screen L = 1.5 m  

Constructive interference occurs when the path difference is equal to an integer number of wavelengths  

             d sin θ = m λ  

a) The center of the two-ray pattern has the same length so the intensity is MAXIMUM, that is, the pattern is bright  

b) to find the distance let's use trigonometry  

   tan θ= y / L  

   tan θ =sin θ/cos θ= sin θ  

because the angles are small  

we substitute  

     y = \frac{m \lambda L}{d} 

let's calculate  

     y = 10 550 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

     y = 8.25 10⁻³ m

c) for this part the incident light must be white or polychrome light  

let's find the distance (y) for some colors, in the first order  

Violet λ = 400  

y = 1 400 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 6 10⁻⁴ m  

green λ = 500 nm  

y = 1 500 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 7.5 10⁻⁴ m  

yellow λ = 600 nm  

y = 1 600 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1.10⁻³  

y = 9 10⁻⁴ m  

lam λ = 700 nm  

y = 1 700 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1. 10⁻³  

y = 1.05 10⁻³ m  

violet, green, orange, red  

the distance increases with the wavelength increases

d) To find the wavelength we must measure the distance y from the center of the slit for various interference orders and using the equation we can find the wavelength of rationality

A car goes around a curve of radius r at a constant speed v. Then it goes around a curve ofradius 2r at speed 2v. What is the ce
Rainbow [258]

The centripetal force on the car as it goes around the second curve is twice that compared to the first.

What is Centripetal force?

It is the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward toward the center of rotation.

The formula of Centripetal force is:

F(c) = (m* v^2) / r

Here,

At the first curve,

The curve of radius = r

The constant speed = v

At the second curve,

The car speed (v')= 2 v

The radius of the curve (r')=2 r

According to the formula of centripetal Force:

As the car goes around the second curve,

F'(c) = m*v'^2 / r'

F'(c) = m* (2*v)^2 / 2r

F'(c) = 2* F

Thus,

The centripetal force on the car as it goes around the second curve is twice that compared to the first.

Newton’s second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on 1 variable which is the net force
Darya [45]
I think it’s false. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and then mass of the object.
