Sunlight is used in a double-slit interference experiment. The fourth-order maximum for a wavelength of 490 nm occurs at an angl

e of θ = 90°. Thus, it is on the verge of being eliminated from the pattern because θ cannot exceed 90° in Eq. 35-14. (a) What least wavelength in the visible range (400 nm to 700 nm) are not present in the third-order maxima? To eliminate all of the visible light in the fourth-order maximum, (b) should the slit separation be increased or decreased and (c) what least change in separation is needed?

Answer:

(a) d = 1960nm

(b) The slit should be decreased.

(c) Δd = 360nm.

Explanation:

The double-slit interference is given by the following equation:

d sin(\theta) = m \lambda      (1)

<em>where d: is the distance between slits, Θ: is the angle between the path of the light and the screen, m: is the order of the interference and λ: is the wavelength of the light.  </em>

(a) To determine the least wavelength in the visible range in the third-order we need first to find the distance between slits, using equation (1) for a fourth-order:  

d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(\theta)} = \frac{4 \cdot 490nm}{sin(90)} = 1960nm  

Now, we can find the least wavelength in the visible range in the third-order:

\lambda = \frac{d sin(\theta)}{m} = \frac{1960nm sin(90)}{3} = 653nm

So, the least wavelength in the visible range (400nm - 700nm) in the third-order is 653nm.    

(b) To eliminate all of the visible light in the fourth-order maximum <u>means that the wavelength must be smaller than 400nm</u>, and hence the slit separation should be decreased <u>since they are proportional to each other</u> (see equation (1)).    

(c) The distance between slits needed to eliminate all of the visible light in the fourth-order maximum, with λ = 400 nm as limit value, is:

d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(\theta)} = \frac{4 \cdot 400nm}{sin(90)} = 1600nm  

Therefore the least change in separation needed is equal to the initial distance calculated for 490nm and the final distance calculated for 400nm:  

\Delta d = d_{i} - d_{f} = 1960nm - 1600nm = 360nm

I hope it helps you!

Explain the process of synaptic transmission, beginning with the neurotransmitters at the axon terminal of the presynaptic cell
nydimaria [60]

The synapse is actually the link between 2 neurons. Now when an action potential contacts the synaptic knob of a neuron, the voltage-gate calcium channels are unlocked, resulting in an influx of positively charged calcium ions into the cell. This makes the vesicles containing neurotransmitters, for example acetylcholine, to travel towards the pre-synaptic membrane. When the vesicle arrives at the membrane, the contents are released into the synaptic cleft by exocytosis. Neurotransmitters disperse across the space, down to its concentration gradient, up until it reaches the post-synaptic membrane, where it connects to the correct neuroreceptors. Connecting to the neuroreceptors results in depolarisation in the post-syanaptic neuron as voltage-gated sodium channels are also opened, and the positively charged sodium ions travel into the cell. When adequate neurotransmitters bind to neuroreceptors, the post-synaptic membrane overcame the threshold level of depolarisation and an action potential is made and the impulse is transmitted.
