In a Young's double-slit experiment, 610-nm-wavelength light is sent through the slits. The intensity at an angle of 2.95° from

the central bright fringe is 85% of the maximum intensity on the screen. What is the spacing between the slits?

Answer:

spacing between the slits is 405.32043 ×10^{-9}  m

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 610 nm

angle = 2.95°

central bright fringe = 85%

to find out

spacing between the slits

solution

we know that spacing between slit is

I = 4I_{0} × cos²∅/2

so

I/4I_{0}  = cos²∅/2

here I/4I_{0} is 85 % = 0.85

so

0.85 = cos²∅/2

cos∅/2 = √0.85

∅ = 2 ×cos^{-1} 0.921954

∅  = 45.56°

∅  = 45.56° ×π/180 = 0.7949 rad

and we know that here

∅  = 2π d sinθ / wavelength

so

d = ∅× wavelength /  ( 2π  sinθ )

put all value

d = 0.795 × 610×10^{-9} / ( 2π  sin2.95 )

d = 405.32043 ×10^{-9}  m

spacing between the slits is 405.32043 ×10^{-9}  m

What happens to the ball's velocity while the ball is traveling upwards?
Bess [88]
If the ball does not have a propeller or jet engine on it, then it is an object
in free fall.  That means its downward speed grows by 9.8 m/s for every
second that it's in the air. 

If it happens to be traveling upward at the moment, then that won't last long. 
Its upward speed is decreasing by 9.8 m/s every second.  It will eventually
run out of upward gas and start moving downward.  At that instant, you might
say that the direction of its velocity has changed by 180 degrees.

A horizontal desk surface measures 1.7 m by 1.0 m. If the Earth's magnetic field has magnitude 0.42 mT and is directed 68° below
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The magnetic flux through the desk surface is 6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field B = 0.42 T

Angle =68°

We need to calculate the magnetic flux

\phi=BA\costheta

Where, B = magnetic field

A = area

Put the value into the formula

\phi=0.42\times10^{-3}\times1.7\times1.0\cos22^{\circ}

\phi=0.42\times10^{-3}\times1.7\times1.0\times0.927

\phi=6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2

Hence, The magnetic flux through the desk surface is 6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2.

What is the maximum rated voltage for a 100 ohm 1/4 watt resistor?
Debora [2.8K]
This can be solve using the formula P = I^2 * Rwhere P is the powerI is the CurrentR is the resistanceP = I^2 * R
1/4 Watt = I^2 * 100 ohm solve for II^2 = 1/400  I = 0.05 amps then using the formula to solve for the voltage:V = I * RV = 0.05 amps * 100 ohms V = 5 volts
