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

This is the Doppler effect.

1. As the sound leaves the horn the sound waves are at first close to each other and as they move outwards they become further apart. The closer the sound waves are the louder the noise.

As the car gets the closer the sound waves get closer, so the horn becomes louder.

2. As the horn moves away, the sound waves become less frequent, causing the pitch to get lower.

How much work do you do on a 15 N book in lifting it straight up for a distance of<br> 0.40 meters?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Work done, W = 6 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force of gravity acting on the book, weight of the book is 15 N

We need to find the work done in lifting the book straight up for a distance of  0.4 meters.

The weight of the book is acting in downward direction and the book is lifted straight up, it means angle between them is 180 degrees. Work done is given by :

W=Fd\cos180\\\\W=15\times 0.4\times \cos180\\\\W=-6\ J

So, the magnitude of work done in lifting the book is 6 joules.

When visiting some countries, you may see a person balancing a load on the head. Explain why the center of mass of the load need
Vinvika [58]

Explanation:

If the center of the load is directly above the vertebrae, there is no torque in the system. This is a good thing so that the vertebrae are not put out of alignment over time. (Of course, this still doesn't prevent compression of the vertebrae over time, which is a possibility.)
