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

A point charge is at the origin. With this point charge as the source point, what is the unit vector r^ in the direction of (a)

KiRa [710]

Answer:

a. $\hat{r} =- \hat{j}$
b. $\hat{r} = \ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \ \hat{i} + \ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \ \hat{j}$
c. $\hat{r} = \ -0.3871 \ \hat{i} + \ 0.91501\ \hat{j}$

Explanation:

Using Coulomb's Law we know that the electric field E at point $\vec{r}$ is:

$\vec{E(\vec{r})} = k_e \frac{q}{d^2} \frac{\vec{r}-\vec{r'}}{d}$

where $k_e$ is the Coulomb's Constant, q is the source charge, d is the distance between point and position of the source point charge, and $\vec{r}'$ is the position of the source point charge.

Taking all this in consideration, the unit vector clearly is:

$\hat{r} =\frac{\vec{r}-\vec{r'}}{d}$

For our problem, $\vec{r'} = (0,0)$ , as the charge is located at the origin.

So

$\hat{r} =\frac{\vec{r}}{d}$

and d will be the magnitude of $\vec{r}$

Now, we can take the values for each point.

<h3>a.</h3>

$\vec{r}= (0,-1.35 \ m)$

and, the magnitude of the vector is

$|\vec{r}| = \sqrt{r_x^2 + r_y^2}$

$|\vec{r}| = \sqrt{(0 \ m)^2 + (-1.35 \ m )^2}$

$|\vec{r}| =1.35 \ m$

So, the unit vector is:

$\hat{r} =\frac{(0,-1.35 \ m)}{1.35 \ m}$

$\hat{r} =(0,-1,0)$

$\hat{r} =- \hat{j}$

<h3>b.</h3>

$\vec{r}= (12 \ cm,12 \ cm)$

and, the magnitude of the vector is

$|\vec{r}| = \sqrt{r_x^2 + r_y^2}$

$|\vec{r}| = \sqrt{(12 \ cm)^2 + (12 \ cm )^2}$

$|\vec{r}| = \sqrt{2} \ 12 \ cm$

So, the unit vector is:

$\hat{r} =\frac{(12 \ cm,12 \ cm)}{\sqrt{2} \ 12 \ cm}$

$\hat{r} =(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}},0)$

$\hat{r} = \ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \ \hat{i} + \ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \ \hat{j}$

<h3>c.</h3>

$\vec{r}= (-1.10 \ m, 2.60 \ m)$

and, the magnitude of the vector is

$|\vec{r}| = \sqrt{r_x^2 + r_y^2}$

$|\vec{r}| = \sqrt{(-1.10 \ m)^2 + (2.60 \ m)^2}$

$|\vec{r}| = 2.8415 \ m$

So, the unit vector is:

$\hat{r} =\frac{ (-1.10 \ m, 2.60 \ m)}{2.8415 \ m}$

$\hat{r} =(-0.3871 ,0.91501)$

$\hat{r} = \ -0.3871 \ \hat{i} + \ 0.91501\ \hat{j}$

Homer agin leads the varsity team in home runs. In a recent game, homer hit a 96 mi/hr sinking curve ball head on, sending it of

USPshnik [31]

Answer;

= 90600 m/s...

Explanation;

velocity of ball = 96 mi/hr = 42.916 m/s...

velocity of bat = -56mi/hr = -25.034m/s.. ( note the negativity here..)

time = 0.75 millisec = 0.75 * 10^-3 sec

acceleration = (velball - velbat) / time

= (42.916 - (-25.034)) / (0.75 * 10^-3)

=90600 m/s
