The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Given:

diffraction grating slits = 900 slits per centimeter

interference pattern that is observed on a screen from the grating = 2.38m

maxima for two different wavelengths = 3.40mm

slit separation .. d = 1/900cm = 1.11^-3cm = 1.111^-5 m <span>

Whenas n = 1, maxima (grating equation) sinθ = λ/d
Grant distance of each maxima from centre = y ..
<span>As sinθ ≈ y/D y/D = λ/d λ = yd / D </span>

∆λ = (λ2 - λ1) = y2.d/D - y1.d/D
∆λ = (d/D) [y2 -y1]

<span>∆λ = 1.111^-5m x [3.40^-3m] / 2.38m .. .. ►∆λ = 1.587^-8 m</span></span>

A child whirls a 3.00 kg ball on a string .50 m from the axis of rotation in a horizontal circle. The ball makes 1 revolution in

melamori03 [73]

Answers:

a) $0.5 m/s^{2}$

b) $1.5 N$

Explanation:

a) The centripetal acceleration $a_{c}$ of an object moving in a uniform circular motion is given by the following equation:

$a_{c}=\omega^{2} r$

Where:

$\omega=1 \frac{rev}{s}$ is the angular velocity of the ball

$r=0.5 m$ is the radius of the circular motion, which is equal to the length of the string

Then:

$a_{c}=(1 \frac{rev}{s})^{2} 0.5 m$

$a_{c}=0.5 m/s^{2}$ This is the centripetal acceleration of the ball

b) On the other hand, in this circular motion there is a force (centripetal force $F$ ) that is directed towards the center and is equal to the tension ( $T$ ) in the string:

$F=T=m. a_{c}$

Where $m=3 kg$ is the mass of the ball

Hence:

$T=(3 kg)(0.5 m/s^{2})$

$T=1.5 N$ This is the tension in the string

A tourist being chased by an angry bear is running in a straight line toward his car at a speed of 3.9 m/s. The car is a distanc

sammy [17]

If it takes $t$ seconds to reach the car, then the distance $d$ is $3.9t$ .

The bear's distance from the tourist's starting point is
$6t-23$

For maximum $d$ , we set the equations equal to each other:
$3.9t=6t-23$
$\Rightarrow -2.1t=-23$
$\Rightarrow t=\frac{23}{2.1}$
so the distance is
$d=3.9(\frac{23}{2.1})\approx42.741\ m$

An open pipe of length 0.39m vibrates in the third harmonic with a frequency of 1400Hz. What is the distance from the center of

Gnoma [55]

Length of the pipe = 0.39 m

Third harmonic frequency = 1400 Hz

For the third harmonic:

Wavelength = $\frac{2L}{3}$

The center of the open pipe will host a node and the nearest anti - node from the center will be at the 0.25 × wavelength

Distance from center = 0.25 × wavelength

Distance = $0.25 x \frac{2L}{3}$

Plugging the value of the length of the pipe (L) = 0.39 m = 39 cm

Distance = $0.25 x \frac{2 \times 39}{3}$

Distance from the center to the nearest anti - node = 6.5 cm

Hence, the nearest distance to the anti - node from the center = 6.5 cm

So, option C is correct.

A laser source has a bandwidth of 30GHz (a) Calculate the coherence length of the source b) What is the time separation of secti

abruzzese [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Bandwidth of a laser source, $f=30\ GHz=30\times 10^9\ Hz$

(b) Let t is the time separation of sections of sections of the light wave that can still interfere. The time period is given by :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$T=\dfrac{1}{30\times 10^9}$

$T=3.33\times 10^{-11}\ s$

(a) Let h is the coherence length of the source. It is given by :

$l=c\times T$

c is the speed of light

$l=3\times 10^8\times 3.33\times 10^{-11}$

l = 0.0099 m

Hence, this is the required solution.
