A pair of slits in a double slit experiment are illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength 480 nm. The slits are separat

ed by 1.0mm. What is the separation of the fringes when observed at a distance of 2.0 m from the slits?

Using the appropriate approximations:

dx/L = mλ

d = slit separation

x = fringe spacing

L = distance between slits and screen

m = some integer, used to determine the distance from the central bright fringe to another bright fringe


We don't really need a value for m because we're calculating the distance between any pair of consecutive fringes. Let's just set m = 1


Given values:

d = 1.0mm

L = 2.0m

λ = 480nm


Substitute the terms in the equation with our given values and solve for x:

1.0*10⁻³*x/2 = 480*10⁻9

<h3>x = 0.96mm</h3>

Why caring a body and moving with it is not a work done<br><br> Why :​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Work done on an object is equal to

FDcos(angle).

So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.

However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.

But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?

Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.

(11) The speed of radio waves is 300 000 000 m/s.
Neko [114]

Answer:

Wavelength = 9.68 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 300,000,000m/s

Frequency = 31 Megahertz to Hertz = 31 * 10⁶ Hz

To find the wavelength;

Wavelength = speed/frequency

Wavelength = 300,000,000/31,000,000

Wavelength = 9.68 meters

At its maximum speed, a typical snail moves about 4.0 m in 5.0 min.
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance = 4.0m

Time = 5.0 mins = 300secs

Required

Average speed

Average speed = Distance/Time

Average speed = 4.0/300

Average speed = 0.01333m/secs

Hence the average speed of the snail is 0.01333m/s

Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor when an elephant who weighs 6000 N stands on one foot which has an area of 20 m2
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

300 Pascal

Explanation:

Given

weight or force (F) = 6000 N

area (A) = 20 m²

pressure (p) = ?

we know

the force acting normally per unit area is pressure. So

P = F / A

= 6000 / 20

= 300 Pascal

Hope it will help :)
