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

Point charges q1=+2.00μC and q2=−2.00μC are placed at adjacent corners of a square for which the length of each side is 5.00 cm.
8_murik_8 [283]

The electric potential is a scalar unit, so we don't have to struggle with the vectors. The formula that gives electric potential is

V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r}

1) At point a, the electric potential is the sum of the potentials due to q1 and q2. So,

V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}

The distance from the center of the square to one of the corners is \sqrt2 L/2 = 0.035m

V_a = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.035} = 0

The answer is zero, because the point charges are at equal distances and their magnitudes are also equal but their directions are opposite.

2) V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{r_1} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_2}{r_2}

r_1 = 0.05\sqrt2m\\r_2 = 0.05m

V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05\sqrt2} + \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{-2\times10^{-6}}{0.05}\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{2\times10^{-6}}{0.05} (\frac{1}{\sqrt2}-1)\\V_b = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} (4\times 10^{-5})(-0.29)\\V_b = (-\frac{2.9\times10^{-6}}{\pi\epsilon_0})[tex]3) The work done on q3 by q1 and q2 is equal to the difference between  energies. This is the work-energy theorem. So,[tex]W = U_b - U_a

U = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q_1q_3}{r} = Vq_3

W = q_3(V_b - V_a) = q_3(V_b - 0)\\W = (-2\times10^{-6})(-\frac{2.9\times10^{-6}}{\pi\epsilon_0})\\W = \frac{5.8\times10^{-12}}{\pi\epsilon_0}

A 230.-mL sample of a 0.240 M solution is left on a hot plate overnight; the following morning, the solution is 1.75 M. What vol
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The volume of water evaporated is 199mL

Explanation:

Concentration is calculated with the following formula

C=\frac{n}{V}

where n is the number of moles of solute and V is the volume of the solution (in this case is the same as the solvent volume) in liters.

So we isolate the variable n to know the amount of moles, using the volume given in liters

230mL=0.23L

n=C*V=0.240 M*0.23L=0.055 mol

Now, we isolate the variable V to know the new volume with the new concentration given.

V=\frac{n}{C} =0.055mol/1.75M=0.031L=31mL

Finally, the volume of water evaporated is the difference between initial and final volume.

V_{ev}= V_{i} -V_{f} =230mL-31mL=199mL
