Coherent light of wavelength 525 nm passes through two thin slits that are 4.15Ã—10^(âˆ’2) mm apart and then falls on a screen 7

IRINA_888 [86]

A) 4.7 cm

The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is

$sin \theta=\frac{n \lambda}{d}$

where

n is the order of the maximum

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

$a$ is the distance between the slits

In this problem,

n = 5

$\lambda=525 nm =5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m$

$a=4.15\cdot 10^{-2} mm=4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m$

So we find

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(5)(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=3.62^{\circ}$

And given the distance of the screen from the slits,

$D=75.0 cm = 0.75 m$

The distance of the 5th bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

$y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 3.62^{\circ}=0.047 m = 4.7 cm$

B) 8.1 cm

The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:

$sin \theta=\frac{(n+\frac{1}{2}) \lambda}{d}$

To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{(8+\frac{1}{2})(5.25\cdot 10^{-7} m)}{4.15\cdot 10^{-5} m})=6.17^{\circ}$

And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by

$y=D tan \theta = (0.75 m)tan 6.17^{\circ}=0.081 m = 8.1 cm$

A college student is working on her physics homework in her dorm room. Her room contains a total of 6.0 x 10^26 gas molecules. A

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Temperature, T = 3.62 kelvin

Explanation:

It is given that,

Total number of gas molecules, $N=6\times 10^{26}$

Her body is converting chemical energy into thermal energy at a rate of 125 W, P = 125 W

Time taken, t = 6 min = 360 s

Energy of a gas molecules is given by :

$\Delta E =\dfrac{3}{2}NkT$

$T=\dfrac{2E}{3Nk}$ , k is Boltzmann constant

$T=\dfrac{2\times P\times t}{3Nk}$

$T=\dfrac{2\times 125\times 360}{3\times 6\times 10^{26}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23}}$

T = 3.62 K

So, the temperature increases by 3.62 kelvin. Hence, this is the required solution.

I NEED HELP ON 2 QUESTIONS PLEASEEE

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

2) c) give-way vessel

3) a) With one short blast

Explanation:

2) A vessel that is required to take early substantial action to ensure avoiding collision called Give way vessel

In overtaking, the vessel intending to overtake is the Give-Way Vessel the vessel that is going to be overtaken is the Stand-On Vessel

Therefore, the correct option is c) give-way vessel

3) When vessels use sound signals in a meeting head on situation both vessel are Give-Way vessels and both vessel pass the each other by turning to the starboard side therefore they intend to pass each other on their port side requiring one short blast

Therefore, the correct option is a) With one short blast.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

We have that valence electrons poses the three characteristics stated, as

Group 14 (carbon group) are identified by 4 valence electrons.

Valence electrons of atoms are used to form bonds.

Group 14 (carbon group) are identified by 4 valence electrons.

Option A,B,C

<h3>Properties of Valence electrons</h3>

All elements in the same group or family have the same number of valence electrons: Yes, this is true as Group 14 (carbon group) are identified by 4 valence electrons.

Valence electrons are the only subatomic particles involved in forming bonds: Yes, Valence electrons of atoms are used to form bonds.

Carbon has 4 valence electrons because it is found in group 14:

True, Group 14 (carbon group) are identified by 4 valence electrons.
