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

A LED light source contains a 0.5-Watts GaAs (Eg =1.43 eV) LED. Assuming that 0.12% of the electric energy is converted to emiss
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

energy emitted by  source per second  = .5 J

Eg = 1.43 eV .

Energy converted into radiation = .5 x .12 = .06 J

energy of one photon = 1.43 eV

= 1.43 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.288 x 10⁻¹⁹ J .

no of photons generated = .06 / 2.288 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 2.6223 x 10¹⁷

wavelength of photon λ = 1275 / 1.43 nm

= 891.6 nm .

momentum of photon = h / λ  ;  h is plank's constant

= 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 891.6 x 10⁻⁹

= .0074 x 10⁻²⁵ J.s

Total momentum of all the photons generated

= .0074 x 10⁻²⁵  x 2.6223 x 10¹⁷

= .0194 x 10⁻⁸ Js

b ) spectral width in terms of wavelength = 30 nm

frequency width = ?

n = c / λ  , n is frequency , c is velocity of light and λ is wavelength

differentiating both sides

dn = c x dλ / λ²

given dλ = 30 nm

λ = 891.6 nm

dn = 3 x 10⁸ x 30 x 10⁻⁹ / ( 891.6  x 10⁻⁹ )²

= 11.3 x 10¹² Hz .

c )

10 nW = 10  x 10⁻⁹ W

= 10⁻⁸ W .

energy of 50 dB

50 dB = 5 B

I / I₀ = 10⁵   ;   decibel scale is logarithmic , I is energy of sound having dB = 50 and  I₀ = 10⁻¹² W /s

I = I₀ x 10⁵

= 10⁻¹² x 10⁵

= 10⁻⁷ W

= 10 x 10⁻⁸ W

power required

= 10⁻⁸ + 10 x 10⁻⁸ W

= 11  x 10⁻⁸ W.

A 5,257 kg rocket blasts off to the moon with an acceleration of 76 m/s ^2 what is the net force on the rocket
frutty [35]

Newton's subsequent law expresses that power is corresponding to what exactly is needed for an object of consistent mass to change its speed. This is equivalent to that item's mass increased by its speed increase.

We use Newtons, kilograms, and meters each second squared as our default units, albeit any proper units for mass (grams, ounces, and so forth) or speed (miles each hour out of every second, millimeters per second², and so on) could unquestionably be utilized also - the estimation is the equivalent notwithstanding.

Hence, the appropriate answer will be 399,532.

Net Force = 399532
