Light of wavelength 650 nm is normally incident on the rear of a grating. The first bright fringe (other than the central one) i

garik1379 [7]

Answer

given,

wavelength (λ) = 650 nm

angle = 5°

using bragg's law

$sin \theta = \dfrac{n \lambda}{d}$

$d= \dfrac{n \lambda}{sin \theta}$

$d= \dfrac{1 \times 650 \times 10^{-9}\ m}{sin5^0}$

d = 7.46 x 10⁻⁴ cm

number of slits per centimeter

= $\dfrac{1}{d}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{7.46\times 10^{-4}}\\\Rightarrow 1340 split per centimeter.$

b) wavelength of two rays 650 nm and 420 nm

$d = \dfrac{1}{5000}$

d = 2 x 10⁻6 m

we now,

$sin \theta = \dfrac{n \lambda}{d}$

for 650 nm

$sin \theta = \dfrac{2\times 650\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 10^{-6}}$

$\theta =sin^{-1}(0.65)$

θ = 40.54°

for 450 nm

$sin \theta = \dfrac{2\times 450\times 10^{-9}}{2\times 10^{-6}}$

$\theta =sin^{-1}(0.45)$

θ = 24.83°

now, difference

|θ_{650} -θ_{420}| =40.54°-24.83°

|θ_{650} -θ_{420}| =19.71°

Viewed through a spectroscope, the spectral profile of a yellow street lamp has a narrow line in the yellow region of the visibl

muminat

Answer:

discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC source

Explanation:

Bulbs can emit light in several ways:

* When the emission is carried out by the heating of its filament, the bulb is called incandescent, in general its spectrum is similar to that of a black body, this is a continuous spectrum with a maximum dependent on the fourth power of the temperature of the filament.

* The emission can be by atomic transitions, in this case there is a discrete spectrum formed by the spectral lines of the material that forms the gas of the lamp, in general for the yellow emission the most used materials are mercury and sodium or a mixture of they.

Consequently, as discrete lines are observed by the spectroscope, the emission of the lamp is of the ATOMIC type

True or false?

Ksju [112]

1. False

Explanation: it's exactly the opposite. In fact, Lenz's law states that the induced current and the induced emf in a conductor are generated in such a direction that opposes to the change in magnetic flux through the coil. This is summarized by the negative sign in the Faraday's Newmann Lenz law:

$\epsilon= -\frac{d\Phi }{dt}$

where $\epsilon$ is the emf induced and $\frac{d\Phi}{dt}$ is the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil.

Lenz's law is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy. In fact, we have:

- If the magnetic flux through a coil is increasing, then the induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field generated by the coil is opposite to the direction of the external magnetic field, in order to decrease the total flux

- If the magnetic flux through a coil is decreasing, then the induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field generated by the coil is in the same direction as the external field, in order to increase the total flux

2. False

Explanation: the magnetic flux through a surface is given by

$\Phi = BA cos \theta$

where

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

A is the surface area

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of B and the normal vector to the surface

As we see, the magnetic flux depends not only on B and A, but also on the orientation of the coil with respect to the magnetic field.

3. False

Explanation:

- Sound waves are mechanical waves: mechanical waves are waves consisting of oscillations of the particles in a medium. Due to their nature, therefore, mechanical waves can propagate only in the presence of a medium

- Electromagnetic waves are NOT mechanical waves: they consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Since em waves are not mechanical waves, they do NOT need a medium to propagate, since they can also travel through a vacuum; therefore the original statement is false.

Margarita [4]

Note that the centripetal force is proportional to the square of the velocity, implying that a doubling of speed will require four times the centripetal force to keep the motion in a circle.
