In a double-slit interference experiment, the wavelength is λ = 432 nm, the slit separation is d = 0.100 mm, and the screen is d

= 42.0 cm away from the slits. what is the linear distance between the 8th order maximum and the 4th order maximum on the screen?

In the double-slit interference experiment, the distance of the nth-maximum from the center of the screen is given by
y= \frac{n \lambda D}{d}
where
\lambda is the wavelength
D is the distance between the screen and the slits
d is the distance between the slits

In our problem, 
\lambda=432 nm= 432 \cdot 10^{-9} m
D=42.0 cm=0.42 m
d=0.100 mm=0.1 \cdot 10^{-3} m

By applying the previous formula, we can calculate the distance of the 4th maximum from the center of the screen:
y_4 =  \frac{(4)(432 \cdot 10^{-9} m)(0.42 m)}{(0.1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)}=7.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m

Similarly, the distance of the 8th- maximum is
y_8 = \frac{(8)(432 \cdot 10^{-9} m)(0.42 m)}{(0.1 \cdot 10^{-3}m)}=14.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m

Therefore, the distance between the two maxima is
\Delta y=y_8- y_4 = 14.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m- 7.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m =7.25 \cdot 10^{-3} m = 7.25 mm

when an object is charged by contact, how does the kind of charge transferred compare to that on the object giving the charge?
11111nata11111 [884]

Lets say sphere 1 has a charge of 12 + and sphere 2 has a charge of 0 +. After they are touched Sphere 1 becomes 6 + and sphere 2 6 +. So 6 - 12 = a change of 6 -, while 6 - 0 = a change of 6 + Therfore,

Answer: The sign of the charge change / transfered are opposites.

Given that average speed is distance traveled divided by time, determine the values of m and n when the time it takes a beam of
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

5,2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of light C=3.0×10^8 m/s.

Generally the equation for Average Speed is mathematically given by

V_{avg}=\frac{d}{t}

Where

d=Distance between the Earth and the sun

d=1.5*10^11m

Therefore

t=\frac{d}{V_{avg}}

t=\frac{1.5*10^11m}{3.0×10^8 m/s.}

t=5*10^2s

Since m and n is given in the form of

m*10^n

Therefore

m=5 & n=2
