In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by
y_n= \frac{n \lambda D}{a} (1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern
\lambda is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit

In our problem, 
D=37.0 cm=0.37 m
\lambda=530 nm=5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m
while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is
y_5-y_1 = 0.500 mm=0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m (2)

If we use the formula to rewrite y_5, y_1, eq.(2) becomes
\frac{5 \lambda D}{a} - \frac{1 \lambda D}{a} =\frac{4 \lambda D}{a}= 0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m
Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
a= \frac{4 \lambda D}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= \frac{4 (5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m)(0.37 m)}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}=  1.57 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1.57 mm

Two coils of wire are placed close together. Initially, a current of 3.04 A exists in one of the coils, but there is no current
Alchen [17]

Answer:

M=0.0247H

Explanation:

Given data

V_{voltage}=4.29V\\I_{current}=3.04A\\t_{time}=1.75*10^{-2}s

To find

Mutual inductance of the two-coil system

Solution

The mutual inductance given as:

M= (-VΔt)/ΔI

Substitute the given values

So

M=-\frac{4.29V*1.75*10^{-2}s}{(0-3.04A)}\\ M=0.0247H

At what distance from a 27 mw point source of electromagnetic waves is the electric field amplitude 0. 060 v/m ?
n200080 [17]

The distance from a 27 mw point source of electromagnetic waves where the electric field amplitude 0. 060 v/m will be 21.21 m .

Electromagnetic waves or EM waves are waves that are created as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. In other words, EM waves are composed of oscillating magnetic and electric fields.

The highest point of a wave is known as 'crest' , whereas the lowest point is known as 'trough'. Electromagnetic waves can be split into a range of frequencies. This is known as the electromagnetic spectrum.

c = 3 * 10^{8} m/s

∈ = 8.85 * 10^{- 12} C^{2} / N/ m^{2}

E = 0. 060 v/m

I = P / 4πr^{2}

Also , I = c ∈ E^{2} /2

r^{2} = P / 4π I                                 equation 1

substituting the value of I in equation 1

r^{2} = 2 P / 4π (c ∈ E^{2} )

r^{2} = 2 * 27 * 10^{-3} / 4 * 3.14 * 3 * 10^{8} * 8.85 * 10^{- 12}  * (0.06)^{2}

r = 21.21 m
