Answer:

a) 2.4 mm

b) 1.2 mm

c) 1.2 mm

Explanation:

To find the widths of the maxima you use the diffraction condition for destructive interference, given by the following formula:

$m\lambda=asin\theta$

a: width of the slit

λ: wavelength

m: order of the minimum

for little angles you have:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}$

y: height of the mth minimum

a) the width of the central maximum is 2*y for m=1:

$w=2y_1=2\frac{1(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}=2.4*10^{-3}m=2.4mm$

b) the width of first maximum is y2-y1:

$w=y_2-y_1=\frac{(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}[2-1]=1.2mm$

c) and for the second maximum:

$w=y_3-y_2=\frac{(500*10^{-9}m)(1.2m)}{0.50*10^{-3}m}[3-2]=1.2mm$

How does the hydraulic garage lift helps to lift heavy weights?Explain in you words don't copy (write in the easiest way you cou

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

this the way that hydraulic pump works:

The system of hydraulic jack lifts the heavy objects by transferring the oil from one chamber to another.

Through the suction valves into the two cylinders which creates pressure distributing the fluid equally to the points causing the objects to lift up.

hope these points helped u

A migrating robin flies due north with a speed of 12 m/s relative to the air. The air moves due east with a speed of 6.7 m/s rel

mafiozo [28]

Here it is given that speed of migrating Robin is 12 m/s relative to air

so we can say that

$\vec v_{ra} = 12 m/s$ North

so it will be

Let North direction is along Y axis and East direction is along X axis

$\vec v_{ra} = 12\hat j$

also it is given that speed of air is 6.7 m/s relative to ground

$\vec v_a = 6.7 \hat i$

now as we know by the concept of relative motion

$\vec v_{ab} = \vec v_a - \vec v_b$

$\vec v_{ra} = \vec v_r - \vec v_a$

now by rearranging the terms

$\vec v_r = \vec v_{ra} + \vec v_a$

$\vec v_r = 12 \hat j + 6.7 \hat i$

now we need to find the speed of Robin which means we need to find the magnitude of its velocity which we found above

So here we will say

$v_r = \sqrt{12^2 + 6.7^2}$

$v_r = 13.7 m/s$

so the net speed of Robin with respect to ground will be 13.7 m/s

In an experiment, a large number of electrons are fired at a sample of neutral hydrogen atoms and observations are made of how t

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

N = 1036 times

Explanation:

The radial probability density of the hydrogen ground state is given by:

$p(r) = \frac{4r^{2} }{a_{0} ^{3} } e^{\frac{-2r}{a_{0} } }$

$p(\frac{a_{0} }{2} ) = \frac{4(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )^{2} }{a_{0} ^{3} } e^{\frac{-2(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )}{a_{0} } }$

$p(2a_{0} ) = \frac{4(2a_{0}) ^{2} }{a_{0} ^{3} } e^{\frac{-4a_{0} }{a_{0} } }$

$N = 1300\frac{p(2a_{0}) }{p(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )}$

$N = 1300\frac{(2a_{0}) ^{2}e^{\frac{-4a_{0} }{a_{0} } } }{(\frac{a_{0} }{2} )^{2} e^{\frac{-a_{0} }{a_{0} } }}$

$N = 1300(16) e^{-3}$

N = 1035.57

N = 1036 times
