Capillarity "Capillarity causes the part of the surface of a liquid in contact with a solid, to be either elevated above (e.g. water), or depressed below (e.g. mercury), the rest of the surface. This trait is named for the behaviour of liquids in capillary tubes placed perpendicular to the surface. The forces operating within capillarity are cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension."

Suppose you want to make an interferometer with two slits to show the wave nature of light to your friends. The most convenient
nevsk [136]

Answer:

a) the pattern is bright,  b)  y = 8.25 mm, c) the distance increases with the wavelength increases

Explanation:

This is a team building exercise to perform interference experiments, where the separation of the slits is d = 1 m = 1 10⁻³ m and the distance to the screen L = 1.5 m  

Constructive interference occurs when the path difference is equal to an integer number of wavelengths  

             d sin θ = m λ  

a) The center of the two-ray pattern has the same length so the intensity is MAXIMUM, that is, the pattern is bright  

b) to find the distance let's use trigonometry  

   tan θ= y / L  

   tan θ =sin θ/cos θ= sin θ  

because the angles are small  

we substitute  

     y = \frac{m \lambda L}{d} 

let's calculate  

     y = 10 550 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

     y = 8.25 10⁻³ m

c) for this part the incident light must be white or polychrome light  

let's find the distance (y) for some colors, in the first order  

Violet λ = 400  

y = 1 400 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 6 10⁻⁴ m  

green λ = 500 nm  

y = 1 500 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 7.5 10⁻⁴ m  

yellow λ = 600 nm  

y = 1 600 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1.10⁻³  

y = 9 10⁻⁴ m  

lam λ = 700 nm  

y = 1 700 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1. 10⁻³  

y = 1.05 10⁻³ m  

violet, green, orange, red  

the distance increases with the wavelength increases

d) To find the wavelength we must measure the distance y from the center of the slit for various interference orders and using the equation we can find the wavelength of rationality
