Coherent light of wavelength 525 nm passes through two thin slits that are 4.15Ã—10^(âˆ’2) mm apart and then falls on a screen 7

IRINA_888 [86]

A) 4.7 cm

The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is

$sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}$

where

n is the order of the maximum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$a$ is the distance between the slits

In this problem,

n = 5

$\lambda=525 nm =5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m$

$a=4.15\cdot 10^{-2} mm=4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m$

So we find

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(5)(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=3.62^{\circ}$

And given the distance of the screen from the slits,

$D=75.0 cm = 0.75 m$

The distance of the 5th bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

$y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 3.62^{\circ}=0.047 m = 4.7 cm$

B) 8.1 cm

The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:

$sin \theta=\frac{(n+\frac{1}{2}) \lambda}{d}$

To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(8+\frac{1}{2})(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=6.17^{\circ}$

And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

$y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 6.17^{\circ}=0.081 m = 8.1 cm$

2. A brick is sitting on a building 22 m high. It has a mass of 7.9 kg. What amount of potential

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1703.24J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of brick = 7.9kg

Height of building = 22m

Unknown:

Potential energy of the brick = ?

Solution:

The potential energy of a body is the energy at rest of the body. Mathematically;

P.E = mgh

m is the mass of the brick

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

Insert the given parameters and solve;

P.E = 7.9 x 9.8 x 22 = 1703.24J

How much work must be done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

$Potential\ Energy=Work \ Done=2.301*10^{-18} J$

Work done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners of an equilateral triangle) is $2.301*10^{-18} Joules$

Explanation:

The potential energy is given by:

U=Q*V

where:

Q is the charge

V is the potential difference

Potential Difference=V= $\frac{kq}{r}$

So,

$Potential\ Energy=\frac{Qkq}{r} \\Q=q\\Potential\ Energy=\frac{kq^2}{r}$

Where:

k is Coulomb Constant= $8.99*10^9 Nm^2/C^2$

q is the charge on electron= $-1.6*10^-19 C$

r is the distance= $3.0*10^{-10}m$

For 3 Electrons Potential Energy or work Done is:

$Potential\ Energy=3*\frac{kq^2}{r}$

$Potential\ Energy=3*\frac{(8.99*10^9)(-1.6*10^{-19})^2}{3*10^{-10}}\\Potential\ Energy=2.301*10^{-18} J$

Work done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 3.0×10−10 m from one another (at the corners of an equilateral triangle) is $2.301*10^{-18} Joules$

When does total internal reflection occur?

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Explanation:

I believe it is A because reflection is usually like a mirror or in water the other ones described are refraction or conversion. Hope this helps! :)
