Answer:

Yes, it will produce a diffraction pattern.

a. 3.9 mm b. 1.95 mm

Explanation:

The light shined from a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern because,  the wavefront act as wavelets which generates its own wave according to Huygens principle. This therefore causes the diffraction pattern.

Given

wavelength of green light, λ = 520 nm = 520 × 10⁻⁹ m = 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ m

width of slit, d = 0.440 mm = 0.44 × 10⁻³ m = 4.4 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of slit from central maximum , D = 1.65 m

Distance of first minimum from central maximum, y = ?

a. The relationship between the slit width and wavelength is given by [tex} dsinθ = mλ [/tex]where d = slit width, θ = angular distance from central maximum, λ = wavelength of light and m = ±1, ±2, ±3...

The relationship between y and D is given by tanθ = y/D

Since θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ

so, dθ = mλ ⇒ θ = mλ/d = y/D

Therefore, y = mλD/d

Now, for the first minimum above the slit, m = +1 and for the first minimum below the slit, m = -1. So, y₁ =  λD/d and y₋₁ =  -λD/d. So, the width of the central maximum Δy is the difference between the first minima below and above the central maximum. So, Δy = y₁ - y₋₁ = λD/d -(-λD/d) = 2λD/d

Substituting the values from above, Δy= 2 × 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴ =  3900 × 10⁻⁶ m = 3.9 × 10⁻³ m = 3.9 mm

b. The first order fringe is the fringe located between the first minimum and the second minimum. From dsinθ = mλ and tanθ = y/D when θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ. So, y = mλD/d. Let m= 1 and m=2 be the first and second minima respectively. So,y₁ =  λD/d and y₂ =  2λD/d. The difference Δy₁ = y₂ - y₁ is the width of the first order fringe. Therefore, Δy₁ = 2λD/d - λD/d= λD/d. Substituting the values from above, we have

λD/d= 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴= 1.95 × 10⁻³ m = 1.95 mm

You are loading a toy dart gun, which has two settings, the more powerful with the spring compressed twice as far as the lower s
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

given,

compression for lower setting = x

work done to compress in lower setting = 5 J

compression in higher setting, x' = 2 x

work done in higher setting = ?

Work done in compression of spring at lower setting

W = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

5 = \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2............(1)

Work done in compression of spring at higher setting

W' = \dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2

W'= \dfrac{1}{2}k(2x)^2

W'= 4\times \dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

W'= 4\times W

from equation (1)

W'= 4\times 5

    W' = 20 J

Work take for the higher setting is equal to 20 J

Hence, the correct answer is option A

A particular solid is an excellent conductor of thermal energy. Is it more likely to be a metal or a non-metal?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
It is more likely to be a metal. This is because metals are good heat conductors whereas non metals tend to be poor heat conductors.

Starting from rest, a basketball rolls from the top to the bottom of a hill, reaching a translational speed of 6.1 m/s. Ignore f
tatiyna

Answer:

a) h=3.16 m, b)  v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy

Starting point. Highest on the hill

           Em₀ = U = mg h

final point. Lowest point

           Em_{f} = K

Scientific energy has two parts, one of translation of center of mass (center of the sphere) and one of stationery, the sphere

           K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} w²

angular and linear speed are related

           v = w r

           w = v / r

            K = ½ m v_{cm }^{2} + ½ I_{cm} v_{cm }^{2} / r²

            Em_{f} = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r2)

as there are no friction losses, mechanical energy is conserved

             Em₀ = Em_{f}

             mg h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} (m + I_{cm} / r²)         (1)

             h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + I_{cm} / mr²)

for the moment of inertia of a basketball we can approximate it to a spherical shell

             I_{cm} = ⅔ m r²

we substitute

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2} / g (1 + ⅔ mr² / mr²)

            h = ½ v_{cm }^{2}/g    5/3

             h = 5/6 v_{cm }^{2} / g

           

let's calculate

           h = 5/6 6.1 2 / 9.8

           h = 3.16 m

b) this part of the exercise we solve the speed of equation 1

          v_{cm }^{2} = 2m gh / (1 + I_{cm} / r²)

in this case the object is a frozen juice container, which we can simulate a solid cylinder with moment of inertia

              I_{cm} = ½ m r²

we substitute

             v_{cm } = √ [2gh / (1 + ½)]

             v_{cm } = √(4/3 gh)

let's calculate

             v_{cm } = √ (4/3 9.8 3.16)

             v_{cm }^ = 6.43 m / s
