Answer:

Phase difference = pi/4 radians

Explanation:

Given:

- The wavelength of incident light λ = 600 nm

- The split separation d = 0.85 mm

- Distance of screen from split plane L = 2.8 m

Find:

What is the phase difference between the two interfering waves on a screen, at a point 2.5 mm from the central bright fringe?

Solution:

- The phase difference can be evaluated by determining the type of interference that occurs at point y = 2.5 mm above central order. We will use the derived results from Young's double slit experiment.

                                  sin ( Q ) = m*λ /d  

                                  m = d*sin(Q) / λ

- Where, m is the order number and angle Q is the angle for mth order of fringe from central bright fringe.

                                  r = sqrt ( L^2 + 0.0025^ )

Where, r is the distance from split to the interference bright fringe.

                                  r = sqrt(2.8^ + 0.0025^) = 2.8

                                  sin(Q) = 0.0025 / 2.8

Hence.                        m = 0.00085*0.0025 / 2.8*(600*10^-9)

                                   m = 1.26

- We know that constructive interference would occurred at m = 1 and destructive interference @ m = 1.5. They have a phase difference of pi/2 radians.

- The order number lies in between constructive and destructive interference i.e m ≈ 1.25 then the corresponding phase difference = 0.5*(pi/2).

Answer:                  Phase difference = pi/4 radians

wo fixed charges, A and B are located at x axis. A is at x = 0 m, B is at x = 4 m. QA = +4.0 μC and QB = -5.0 μC. Calculate the
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

10250 N/C leftwards

Explanation:

QA = 4 micro Coulomb

QB = - 5 micro Coulomb

AP = 6 m

BP = 2 m

A is origin, B is at 4 m and P is at 6 m .

The electric field due to charge QA at P is EA rightwards

E_{A}=\frac{KQ_{A}}{AP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times4\times10^{-6}}{6^{2}}=1000 N/C (rightwards)

The electric field due to charge QB at P is EB leftwards

E_{B}=\frac{KQ_{B}}{BP^{2}}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times5\times10^{-6}}{2^{2}}=11250 N/C (leftwards)

The resultant electric field at P due the charges is given by

E = EB - EA

E = 11250 - 1000 = 10250 N/C leftwards

If a person climbed Mt. Everest has a mass of 105 kg and a weight of 625 N what would be the acceleration due to gravity?
DanielleElmas [232]

The acceleration due to gravity would be 5.95 m/s²

A force is known to be a push or pull and it is the change in momentum per time. It can be expressed by using the relation.

  • Force = mass × acceleration.

From the parameters given:

  • Mass = 105 kg
  • Force = 625 N

By replacing the given values into the above equation, we can determine the acceleration.

∴

625 N = 105 kg × acceleration.

\mathbf{acceleration = \dfrac{625 \ N}{105 \ kg}}

acceleration = 5.95 N/kg

  • Since 1 N/kg = 1 m/²

acceleration = 5.95 m/s²

It’s C
Cause Impulse is found by multiplying the force and change in time (which is simply time)
So if you rearrange the equation for time you end up dividing Impulse by force.
