Answer:
1.696 nm
Explanation:
For a diffraction grating, dsinθ = mλ where d = number of lines per metre of grating = 5510 lines per cm = 551000 lines per metre and λ = wavelength of light = 467 nm = 467 × 10⁻⁹ m. For a principal maximum, m = 1. So,
dsinθ = mλ = (1)λ = λ
dsinθ = λ
sinθ = λ/d.
Also tanθ = w/D where w = distance of center of screen to principal maximum and D = distance of grating to screen = 1.03 m
From trig ratios 1 + cot²θ = cosec²θ
1 + (1/tan²θ) = 1/(sin²θ)
substituting the values of sinθ and tanθ we have
1 + (D/w)² = (d/λ)²
(D/w)² = (d/λ)² - 1
(w/D)² = 1/[(d/λ)² - 1]
(w/D) = 1/√[(d/λ)² - 1]
w = D/√[(d/λ)² - 1] = 1.03 m/√[(551000/467 × 10⁻⁹ )² - 1] = 1.03 m/√[(1179.87 × 10⁹ )² - 1] = 1.03 m/1179.87 × 10⁹ = 0.000848 × 10⁻⁹ = 0.848 × 10⁻¹² m = 0.848 nm.
w is also the distance from the center to the other principal maximum on the other side.
So for both principal maxima to be on the screen, its minimum width must be 2w = 2 × 0.848 nm = 1.696 nm
So, the minimum width of the screen must be 1.696 nm
Answer:
Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves. :)
Answer:
7,166 hrs =430 minutes
Explanation:
Since both train are on the same track, going one towards the other, the relative speed is the addition of both, then the time they need to meet, and consistently crash, is the time that (65mph + 55 mph)=120mph need to travel the total distance of 860 miles, of course in this case one part is traveled by the first train and the rest by the other. Then to find the time we use a three rule
1 h --->120mi
X ---->860mi, then X=(860 mi* 1h)/120 mi = 43/6 hrs= 7,16666 hrs, turning this into minutes need that we notice 1h=60min, then 43/6 hrs *60 min/hrs = 430 minutes.
