The distance between the first and fifth minima of a single-slit diffraction pattern is 0.500 mm with the screen 37.0 cm away fr

WARRIOR [948]

In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by
$y_n= \frac{n \lambda D}{a}$ (1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern
$\lambda$ is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit

In our problem,
$D=37.0 cm=0.37 m$
$\lambda=530 nm=5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m$
while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is
$y_5-y_1 = 0.500 mm=0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m$ (2)

If we use the formula to rewrite $y_5, y_1$ , eq.(2) becomes
$\frac{5 \lambda D}{a} - \frac{1 \lambda D}{a} =\frac{4 \lambda D}{a}= 0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m$
Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
$a= \frac{4 \lambda D}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= \frac{4 (5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m)(0.37 m)}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= 1.57 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1.57 mm$

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years. Convert this distance

alukav5142 [94]

Explanation:

The nearest star to the Earth is the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.218 light-years.

Light year is the unit of distance covered by the heavenly bodies. 1 light year is equal to :

$1\ light\ year=3.72\times 10^{17}\ inches$
