Monochromatic light of wavelength λ=620nm from a distant source passes through a slit 0.450 mm wide. The diffraction pattern is

observed on a screen 3.00 m from the slit.Part AIn terms of the intensity I0 at the peak of the central maximum, what is the intensity of the light at the screen at the distance 1.00 mm from the center of the central maximum?

Answer:

The intensity of light from the 1mm from the central maximu is  I = 0.822I_o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

                         The wavelength is \lambda = 620 nm = 620 *10^{-9}m

                         The width of the slit is w = 0.450mm = \frac{0.45}{1000} = 0.45*10^{-3} m  

                          The distance from the screen is  D = 3.00m

                           The intensity at the central maximum is I_o

                          The distance from the central maximum is d_1 = 1.00mm = \frac{1}{1000} = 1.0*10^{-3}m

        Let z be the the distance of a point with intensity I from central maximum

Then we can represent this intensity as

                     I = I_o [\frac{sin [\frac{\pi * w * sin (\theta )}{\lambda} ]}{\frac{\pi * w * sin (\theta )}{\lambda } } ]^2

    Now the relationship between D and z can be represented using the SOHCAHTOA rule i.e

            sin \theta = \frac{z}{D}

           

if the angle between the the light at z and the central maximum is small

Then  sin \theta =  \theta

   Which implies that

              \theta = \frac{z}{D}

substituting this into the equation for the intensity

             I = I_o [\frac{sin [\frac{\pi w}{\lambda} \cdot \frac{z}{D}  ]}{\frac{\pi w z}{\lambda D\frac{x}{y} } } ]

given that z =1mm = 1*10^{-3}m

   We have that

              I = I_o [\frac{sin[\frac{3.142 * 0.45*10^{-3}}{(620 *10^{-9})} \cdot \frac{1*10^{-3}}{3} ]}{\frac{3.142 * 0.45*10^{-3}*1*10^{-3} }{620*10^{-9} *3} } ]^2

                 =I_o [\frac{sin(0.760)}{0.760}] ^2

                 I = 0.822I_o

An object with a density of 0.85 g/cc is dropped into each of the two beakers shown below. Beaker 1 has a density of 0.5 g/cc. B
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The object will sink in the liquid in beaker 1.

The object will float in the liquid in beaker 2

Explanation:

The density of an object relative to the density of a fluid determines if the object floats or sink in a fluid. The density of a material is the measure of the amount of mass of that material packed into a unit volume of that material.

For the beaker 1, the liquid in this beaker has a density of 0.5 g/cc, which is lesser than the density of the object (0.85 g/cc). This means that the object will add more mass than there should be to the volume of the space it displaces within the field. This results in the object sinking in the fluid.

For beaker 2, the liquid in this beaker has a density of 1 g/cc, which is more than the density of the object (0.85 g/cc). This means that the object will add less mass than there should be to the volume of the space it displaces within the field. This results in the object floating in the fluid.

A spring has a spring constant of 81 N · m−1. What is the force (in N) required to do the following? (Enter the magnitude.) (a)
DochEvi [55]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Spring constant, k = 81 N/m

We need to find the force required to :

(a) Compress the spring by 6 cm i.e. x₁ = 6 cm = -0.06 m

It can be calculated using Hooke's law as :

F = - k(-x₁)

F=81\ N/m\times 0.06\ m

F = 4.86 N

(b) Expand the spring by 17 cm i.e. x₂ = 17 cm = +0.17 m

So, F = -kx₂

F=-81\ N/m\times 0.17\ m

F = -13.77 N

Hence, this is the required solution.
