Using Rayleigh's criterion, what is the smallest separation between two pointlike objects that a person could clearly resolve at

his near point of 20.5 cm with a pupil diameter of 2.15 mm ? Assume that the light has a wavelength of 550 nm . (To get a reasonable estimate without having to go through complicated calculations, we'll ignore the effect of the fluid in the eye.)

 Answer:

y = 52.44 10⁻⁶  m

Explanation:

It is Rayleigh's principle that two points are resolved if the maximum of the diffraction pattern of one matches the minimum the diffraction pattern of the other

Based on this principle we must find the angle of the first minimum of the diffraction expression

         a sin θ= m λ

The first minimum occurs for m = 1

       sin θ =  λ  / a

Now let's use trigonometry the object is a distance L = 0.205 m

        tan θ = y / L

Since the angles are very small, let's approximate

        tan θ = sin θ/cos θ = sin  θ

        sin θ = y / L

We substitute in the diffraction equation

         y / L =  λ  / a

         y =  λ  L / a

Let's calculate

        y = 550 10⁻⁹ 0.205 / 2.15 10⁻³

        y = 52.44 10⁻⁶ m

A tire measures 20 inches in diameter. How many revolutions will the tire have completed when it has traveled 100 yards? Express
Soloha48 [4]
<h2>Number of revolutions required to travel 100 yards is 57.</h2>

Explanation:

Diameter of tire,D = 20 inches

Perimeter of tire = πD

Perimeter of tire = π x 20 = 62.8 inches

Distance traveled = 100 yards

1 yard = 36 inches

Distance traveled = 100 x 36 = 3600 inches

In one revolution it travels 62.8 inches.

\texttt{No of revolutions = }\frac{3600}{62.8}\\\\\texttt{No of revolutions = }57.32\\\\\texttt{No of revolutions = }57

Number of revolutions required to travel 100 yards is 57.

A capacitor is connected to an ac generator that has a frequency of 2.3 kHz and produces a rms voltage of 1.5 V. The rms current
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

AC frequency of 2.3KHz

f=2.3×10³Hz

Vrms produce is

Vrms=1.5V

Current rms

Irms= 31mA

The capacitor is reconnected to a generator of frequency

f=4.8KHz =4800Hz

The current rms becomes

Irms= 85mA

Vrms=?

Solution

First genrator

The capacitive reactance is given as

Xc=Vrms/Irms

Xc=1.5/31×10^-3

Xc=48.39 ohms

Now, to know the capacitance of the capacitor

Xc=1/2πfC

Then,

C=1/2πfXc

So,

C=1/2×π×2300×48.39

C=1.43×10^-6C

C=1.43μF

Note: the capacitance of the capacitor did not change,

Now for generator two.

The reactance are given as

Xc=1/2πfC

Xc=1/2×π×4800×1.43×10^-6

Xc=23.19ohms

Then,

Vrms2=Irms2 ×Xc

Vrms2=85×10^-3×23.19ohms

Vrms2=1.97V

Vrms2=1.97Volts
