In a double slit experiment, if the separation between the two slits is 0.050 mm and the distance from the slits to a screen is

2.5 m, find the spacing between the first-order and second-order bright fringes when coherent light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates the slits.

Answer:

30 cm

Explanation:

Hi! Lets find the angles for the first and second order maxima

The first order maximum will occur for Ф=0

The second order maximum will satisfy the following relationship:

sinФ = λ/d

Where   λ = 600 x 10^-9 m  and d = 5 x 10^-5 m

Therefore:

sinФ = 0.012

And the vertical distance bewteen the first and second will be given by:

l = (2.5 m) tanФ

But since 2.5 m>>0.05 mm  ;  sinФ≈tanФ

Therefore:

l = (2.5 m) sinФ

l = 0.03 m = 30 cm

Answer:

1) D, 2) D, 3) B, 4) B, 5) C

Explanation:

You are asked to select the correct answer

1)  The conservation of energy is one of the most important principles of physics that allows solving countless problems in life.

the correct answer is D

2) when a body falls, the gravitational potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy and both are transformed into thermal energy

the correct answer is D

3) When the gravitational potential energy is maximum, the kinetic energy is minimum and when the kinetic energy is maximum, the gravitational energy is minimum.

Correct answer B

4) speed is defined by

         v = x / t

so the correct answer is B in the SI system

5) when we repeat a measurement several times, the random or statistical errors decrease, therefore the confidence of the measurement increases.

The correct answer is C

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to a light bulb? the electrical energy put into the light bulb equals the light
andrew-mc [135]
<span>The law of conservation of energy applies to a light bulb because the energy is being transformed into light and the light bulb is acting as a catalyst. The light bulb itself is not a form of energy, however when in combination with the electrical outlet to the bulb the electricity heats up the metal interior forming it into light. according to the law of conservation energy cannot be created or destroyed, but instead is formed into different kinds of energy. In relation to a light bulb electrical currents are forming heat energy by heating up the metal interior, then the bulb or glass around it allows to radiate light.</span>

On a day when the temperature reaches 50°F, the temperature in degrees Celsius is: 20°C
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

10°C

Explanation:

To convert °F to °C, we use the formula:

°C =  (°F - 32) * ( 5/9)

So, to convert 50°F to the equivalent  in °C, we can proceed as follows:  

°C = ( 50 - 32 ) * (5/9)  

°C = ( 18 ) *  (5/9), which is, approximately,

°C = 9.999999999... ≈ 10 (5/9 ≈0.555555...)

So, 50°F is equivalent to 10°C.

Answer:

Answer: Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves.

Explanation:

There are 2 types of waves:

1. Longitudinal waves: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium move in the direction of the wave. This requires a medium to travel. For Example: Sound Waves.

2. Transverse wave: These waves are defined as the waves in which the particles of the medium travel perpendicularly to the direction of the wave. This does not require a medium to travel. These can travel in vacuum also. For Example: Light waves.

Hence, Sound waves and some earthquake waves are longitudinal waves. Ocean, light and other earthquake waves are transverse waves
