A laser emits two wavelengths (λ1 = 420 nm; λ2 = 630 nm). When these two wavelengths strike a grating with 450 lines/mm, they pr
Westkost [7]

A) Order of the first laser: 3, order of the second laser: 2

B) The overlap occurs at an angle of 34.9^{\circ}

Explanation:

A)

The formula that gives the position of the maxima (bright fringes) for a diffraction grating is

d sin \theta = m \lambda

where

d is spacing between the lines in the grating

\theta is the angle of the maximum

m is the order of diffraction

\lambda is the wavelength of the light

For laser 1,

d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1

For laser 2,

d sin \theta = m_2 \lambda_2

where

\lambda_1 = 420 nm\\\lambda_2 = 630 nm

Since the position of the maxima in the two cases overlaps, then the term d sin \theta on the left is the same for the two cases, therefore we can write:

m_1 \lambda_1 = m_2 \lambda_2\\\frac{m_1}{m_2}=\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}=\frac{630}{420}=\frac{3}{2}

Therefore:

m_1 = 3

m_2 = 2

B)

In order to find the angle at which the overlap occurs, we use the 1st laser situation:

d sin \theta = m_1 \lambda_1

where:

N = 450 lines/mm = 450,000 lines/m is the number of lines per unit length, so the spacing between the lines is

d=\frac{1}{N}=\frac{1}{450,000}=2.2\cdot 10^{-6} m

m_1 = 3 is the order of the maximum

\lambda_1 = 420 nm = 420\cdot 10^{-9} m is the wavelength of the laser light

Solving for \theta, we find the angle of the maximum:

sin \theta = \frac{m_1 \lambda_1}{d}=\frac{(3)(420\cdot 10^{-9})}{2.2\cdot 10^{-6}}=0.572

So the angle is

\theta=sin^{-1}(0.572)=34.9^{\circ}

A 350-N child is in a swing that is attached to a pair of ropes 2.10 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy of the chil
o-na [289]

Answer:

a)  U = 735 J , b) U = 125.7 J , c)   U = 0 J

Explanation:

The gravitational power energy is

      U = mg y - mg y₀

The last value is a constant, for simplicity we can make it zero, if the lowest point is at the origin of the coordinate system, which in this case we will place in the lowest part

a) Rope is horizontal

The height in this case is the same length of the rope

     y = 2.10 m

    w = mg = 350 N

    U = 350 2.10

    U = 735 J

b) when the angle is 34º

     y = L - L cos 34

    y = L (1- cos34)

    y = 2.10 (1- cos 34)

    y = 0.359 m

    U = 350 0.359

    U = 125.7 J

c) in this case this point coincides with the reference system

     y = 0

     U = 0 J

A point charge of 5.0 x 10^-7 C moves to the right at 2.6 x 10^5 m/s in a magnetic field that is directed into the screen and ha
-BARSIC- [3]

The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the charge is 2.34×10⁻³ N.

<h3>What is magnetic force?</h3>

A magnetic force is the force that act in a magnetic field.

To calculate the magnetic force, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • F = qvB.........Equation 1

Where:

  • F = magnetic force
  • q = point charge
  • v = Velocity of the the charge
  • B = Field strength

From the question,

Given:

  • q = 5.0×10⁻⁷ C
  • v = 2.6×10⁵ m/s
  • B = 1.8×10⁻² T

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • F = (5.0×10⁻⁷)(2.6×10⁵)(1.8×10⁻²)
  • F = 23.4×10⁻⁴
  • F = 2.34×10⁻³ N

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the charge is 2.34×10⁻³ N.
