The solution would be like this for this specific problem:
Given:
diffraction grating
slits = 900 slits per centimeter
interference pattern that
is observed on a screen from the grating = 2.38m
maxima for two different
wavelengths = 3.40mm
slit separation .. d =
1/900cm = 1.11^-3cm = 1.111^-5 m <span>
Whenas n = 1, maxima (grating equation) sinθ = λ/d
Grant distance of each maxima from centre = y ..
<span>As sinθ ≈ y/D y/D =
λ/d λ = yd / D </span>
∆λ = (λ2 - λ1) = y2.d/D - y1.d/D
∆λ = (d/D) [y2 -y1]
<span>∆λ = 1.111^-5m x [3.40^-3m] / 2.38m .. .. ►∆λ = 1.587^-8 m</span></span>
Scientists use theories to explain these things
Answer:
a) B = 1.99 x 10⁻⁴ Tesla
b) B = 0.88 x 10⁻⁴ Tesla
Explanation:
According to Biot - Savart Law, the magnetic field due to a currnt carrying straight wire is given as:
B = μ₀ I L/4πr²
where,
μ₀ = permebility of free space = 1.25 x 10⁻⁶ H m⁻¹
I = current = 2 A
L = Length of wire = 40 cm = 0.4 m
a)
r = radius of magnetic field = 2 cm = 0.02 m
Therefore,
B = (1.25 x 10⁻⁶ H m⁻¹)(2 A)(0.4 m)/4π(0.02 m)²
<u>B = 1.99 x 10⁻⁴ Tesla</u>
<u></u>
b)
r = radius of magnetic field = 3 cm = 0.03 m
Therefore,
B = (1.25 x 10⁻⁶ H m⁻¹)(2 A)(0.4 m)/4π(0.03 m)²
<u>B = 0.88 x 10⁻⁴ Tesla</u>
