Answer:

U = √Rg/sin2θ

Explanation:

Using the formula for "range" in projectile motion to derive the average speed before the ball hits the ground.

Range is the distance covered by the body in the horizontal direction from the point of launch to the point of landing.

According to the range formula,

R = U²sin2θ/g

Cross multiplying we have;

Rg = U²sin2θ

Dividing both sides by sin2θ, we have;

U² = Rg/sin2θ

Taking the square root of both sides we have;

√U² = √Rg/sin2θ

U = √Rg/sin2θ

Therefore, his average speed if he is to meet the ball just before it hits the ground is √Rg/sin2θ

Red light of wavelength 630 nm passes through two slits and then onto a screen that is 1.4 m from the slits. The center of the 3
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Part a)

f = 4.76 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

d = 3.48 \times 10^{-4} m

Part c)

\theta = 0.311 degree

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the speed of light is given as

c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s

\lambda = 630 nm

now the frequency of the light is given as

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

so we have

f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{630 \times 10^{-9}}

f = 4.76 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

Position of Nth maximum intensity on the screen is given as

y_n = \frac{n\lambda L}{d}

so here we know for 3rd order maximum intensity

y_3 = 0.76 cm

n = 3

L = 1.4 m

0.76 \times 10^{-2} = \frac{3(630 \times 10^{-9})(1.4)}{d}

d = 3.48 \times 10^{-4} m

Part c)

angle of third order maximum is given as

d sin\theta = 3 \lambda

3.48 \times 10^{-4} sin\theta = 3(630 \times 10^{-9})

\theta = 0.311 degree
