Given Information:
Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm
Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm
Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm
Required Information:
Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?
Answer:
Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?
Explanation:
The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,
y = Dλ/d
y/λ = D/d
Where
λ is the wavelength
y is the distance between bright fringes.
d is the double slit separation distance
D is the distance from the slits to the screen
For the red laser,
yr/λr = D/d
For the laser pointer,
yp/λp = D/d
Equating both equations yields,
yr/λr = yp/λp
Re-arrange for λp
λp = yp*λr/yr
λp = (5*632.8)/5.14
λp = 615.56 nm
Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.
Potential Energy (P.E) = Mass x
Acceleration due to Gravity x Altitude. Putting this value in the above equation we get, Dimensional Formula of
Potential energy= M1L2T-2.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
The negative feedback is responsible for maintaining equilibrium (stability) in a system as it lessens effects, which is contrary to positive feedback which increases reaction and moves a system further away from equilibrium (stability), It does so by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly. e.g
- Insulin lowers down blood sugar levels, so when the body detects that it has too much sugar, the pancreas is prompted to release insulin and only stops when balance is achieved; hence, negative feedback.
- When there is a tear on the skin, a chemical is released. This chemical causes platelets in the blood to activate, hence they release a chemical which signals more platelets to activate, until the wound is clotted, positive feedback.
