A laser with wavelength d/8 is shining light on a double slit with slit separation 0.300 mm. This results in an interference pat

tern on a screen a distance away from the slits. We wish to shine a second laser, with a different wavelength, through the same slits.
(a) What is the wavelength of the second laser that would place its second maximum at the same location as the fourth minimum of the first laser, if d = 0.300 mm?

Answer:

0.066mm

Explanation:

let wavelength be λ

1st laser

fourth minima occurs at a distance of 7λa/2d

which is equal to 7a/16 as λ = d/8

now for 2nd laser

let wavelength be λ'

second maxima occurs at a distance of 2λ'a/d

so 7a/16 = 2λ'a/d

∴ λ' = 7d/32 = 0.066 mm

Aloop of wire of area 71 cm^2 is placed with its plane parallel to a 16 mt magnetic field. the loop is then rotated so that its

kkurt [141]

Answer:

Approximately 1.62 × 10⁻⁴ V.

Explanation:

The average EMF in the coil is equal to

$\displaystyle \frac{\text{Final Magnetic Flux} - \text{Initial Magnetic Flux}}{2}$ ,

Why does this formula work?

By Faraday's Law of Induction, the EMF $\epsilon$ induced in a coil (one loop) is equal to the rate of change in the magnetic flux $\Phi$ through the coil.

$\displaystyle \epsilon(t) = \frac{d}{dt}(\Phi(t))$ .

Finding the average EMF in the coil is similar to finding the average velocity.

$\displaystyle \text{Average}\; \epsilon = \frac{1}{t}\int_0^t \epsilon(t)\cdot dt$ .

However, by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, integration reverts the action of differentiation. That is:

$\displaystyle \int_0^{t} \epsilon(t)\cdot dt = \int_0^{t} \frac{d}{dt}\Phi(t)\cdot dt = \Phi(t) - \Phi(0)$ .

Hence the equation

$\displaystyle \text{Average}\; \epsilon = \frac{1}{t}\int_0^t \epsilon(t)\cdot dt = \frac{\Phi(t)- \Phi(0)}{t}$ .

Note that information about the constant term in the original function will be lost. However, since this integral is a definite one, the constant term in $\Phi(t)$ won't matter.

Apply this formula to this question. Note that $\Phi$ , the magnetic flux through the coil, can be calculated with the equation

$\Phi = B \cdot A \cdot N \; \sin{\theta}$ .

For this question,

$B = \rm 16\; mT = 16\times 10^{-3}\; T$ is the strength of the magnetic field.
$A = \rm 71\; cm^{2} = 71\times \left(10^{-2}\right)^2 \; m^{2}$ is the area of the coil.
$N = 1$ is the number of loops in the coil.
$\theta$ is the angle between the field lines and the coil.
At $\rm 0\;s$ , the field lines are parallel to the coil, $\theta = 0^{\circ}$ .
At $\rm 0.7\; s$ , the field lines are perpendicular to the coil, $\displaystyle \theta = 90^{\circ}$ .

Initial flux: $\Phi(0)= 0$ .

Final flux: $\Phi(0.7) = \rm 1.1136\times 10^{-4}\; Wb$ .

Average EMF, which is the same as the average rate of change in flux:

$\displaystyle \frac{\Phi(0.7) - \Phi(0)}{0.7} \approx\rm 1.62\times 10^{-4}\; V$ .

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50

sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

t_m = T - t_p

t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

V = c / n

- Hence, d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate: d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm

How did doubling the pressure change the gas volume?

stiv31 [10]

<span>For an ideal gas, the product of pressure and volume equals a constant times the absolute temperature. If each of the temperature and pressure of the gas is doubled, the product of pressure and volume increases by a factor of 4, and the absolute temperature must increase by the same ratio.</span>
