Coherent light of wavelength 540 nm passes through a pair of thin slits that are 3.4 × 10-5 m apart. At what angle away from the

centerline does the second bright fringe occur?

Answer: 1.8\°

Explanation:

The diffraction angles \theta_{n} when we have a slit divided into n parts are obtained by the following equation:

dsin\theta_{n}=n\lambda (1)

Where:

d=3.4(10)^{-5}m is the width of the slit

\lambda=540 nm=540(10)^{-9}m is the wavelength of the light  

n is an integer different from zero.

Now, the second-order diffraction angle is given when n=2, hence equation (1) becomes:

dsin\theta_{2}=2\lambda (2)

Now we have to find the value of \theta_{2}:

sin\theta_{2}=\frac{2\lambda}{d} (3)

Then:

\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2\lambda}{d})   (4)

\theta_{2}=arcsin(\frac{2(540(10)^{-9}m)}{3.4(10)^{-5}m})   (5)

Finally:

\theta_{2}=1.8\°   (6)

The width of a nuclear state is found to be 10^-2 ev. The corresponding lifetime of this state is?
Lelechka [254]

The width of a nuclear state is found to be 10^-2 ev. The corresponding lifetime are called Reconstruction debate that had federalism debate that had been an issue since the 1790s.

Reconstruction failed by most other measures: Radical Republican legislation ultimately nuclear to protect former slaves from white persecution and failed to engender fundamental changes to the social fabric of the South. When President Rutherford B. federalism debate that had been an issue since the 1790s almost mediately . Hayes removed federal troops from the South in 1877, former Confederate officials and slave returned to nuclear the support of a conservative Supreme Court, these newly empowered white southern politicians passed black codes, voter qualifications, and other anti-progressive legislation to reverse the rights that blacks had gained during Radical Reconstruction. The U.S. Supreme Court bolstered this federalism anti-progressive movement federalism  with decisions in the Slaughterhouse Cases, the Civil Rights Cases, and United States v.

What is the calculation for elastic potential?
grin007 [14]
Elastic potential energy is equal to the force times the distance of movement. Elastic potential energy = force x distance of displacement. Because the force is = spring constant x displacement, then the Elastic potential energy = spring constant x displacement squared.

A 1060-kg car moving west at 16 m/s collides with and locks onto a 1830-kg stationary car. determine the velocity of the cars ju
iren [92.7K]
M1U1 + M2V2 = (M1+M2)V, where M1 is the mass of the moving car, M2 is the mass of the stationary car, U1 is the initial velocity, and V is the common velocity after collision.
therefore; 
(1060× 16) + (1830 ×0) = (1060 +1830) V
 16960 = 2890 V
      V = 5.869 m/s
The velocity of the cars after collision will be 5.689 m/s

Calcular la rapidez promedio
Vlada [557]

Answer:

  v_average = 15 m / s

Explanation:

The average speed can be found in two ways,

* taking the distance traveled and divide it by the time spent

* taking the velocities in each time interval and then finding the weighted average by the time fraction

              v_average = 1 / t_total ∑  v_{i}  t_{i}vi ti

Let's apply this last equation

               

Total time is

               t = t₁ + t₂

               t = 10 + 10 = 20   min

              v_average = 10/20 10 + 10/20 20

              v_average = 10/2 + 20/2

              v_average = 15 m / s
