A diffraction grating contains 15,000 lines/inch. We pass a laser beam through the grating. The wavelength of the laser is 633 n

m. On a screen 2.66m away, we observe spots of light. (a) How far (m) from the central maximum (m = 0) is the first-order maximum (m = 1) observed? (b) How far (m) from the central maximum (m = 0) is the second-order maximum (m = 2) observed? DO NOT calculate this using the

Answer:

Recall the Diffraction grating formula for constructive interference of a light

y = nDλ/w                                      Eqn 1

Where;

w = width of slit = 1/15000in =6.67x10⁻⁵in =   6.67x10⁻⁵ x 0.0254m = 1.69x10⁻⁶m

D = distance to screen  

λ = wavelength of light  

n = order number  = 1

Given  

y1 = ? from 1st order max to the central  

D = 2.66 m  

λ = 633 x 10-9 m  

and n = 1  

y₁ = 0.994m  

Distance (m) from the central maximum (n = 0) is the first-order maximum (n = 1)                =         0.994m

Q b. How far (m) from the central maximum (m = 0) is the second-order maximum (m = 2) observed?

w = width of slit = 1/15000in =6.67x10⁻⁵in =   6.67x10⁻⁵ x 0.0254m = 1.69x10⁻⁶m

D = distance to screen  

λ = wavelength of light  

n = order number  = 1

Given  

y1 = ? from 1st order max to the central  

D = 2.66 m  

λ = 633 x 10⁻⁹ m  

and n =  2

y₂ = 0.994m  

Distance (m) from the central maximum (n = 0) is the first-order maximum (n = 2) =1.99m

Which situation is work not being done? A) A bookcase is slid across carpeting. B) A stack of books is carried at waist level ac
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

B) A stack of books is carried at waist level across a room

Explanation:

Work is defined as:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the force applied

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and of the displacement

From the formula, we see that the work done is zero when the force and the displacement are perpendicular to each other. Let's now analyze each situation:

A) A bookcase is slid across carpeting. --> work is done, because the force that pushes the bookcase is in the same direction of the displacement

B) A stack of books is carried at waist level across a room. --> no work is done, because the force to carry the book is vertical, while the displacement of the books is horizontal

C) A chair is lifted vertically with respect to the floor. --> work is done, because the force that lifts the chair is vertical, and the displacement is vertical as well

D) A table is dropped onto the ground. --> work is done, because the force of gravity (that makes the table falling down) is vertical and the displacement of the table is also vertical.

Define limitations in the operation conditions of a pn junction<br>​
suter [353]

Answer:

Such limitations are given below.

Explanation:

  • Each pn junction provides limited measurements of maximum forwarding current, highest possible inversion voltage as well as the maximum output level.
  • If controlled within certain adsorption conditions, the pn junction could very well offer satisfying performance.
  • In connector operation, the maximum inversion voltage seems to be of significant importance.

Pls help, me, i nees to submit now
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

12m

Explanation:

To obtain the answer to the question given, we must observe the characteristics of image formed by a plane mirror.

The image formed by a plane mirror have the following characteristics:

1. Laterally inverted.

2. Same distance as the object from the mirror.

3. Same height as the object.

4. Virtual.

With the above information, we can calculate the distance between the boy and his image as follow:

Initially:

Object distance (u) = 4m

Image distance (v) = 4m

The boy moved 2m away, therefore:

Object distance (u) = 2 + 4 = 6m

Image distanc(v) = 2 + 4 = 6m

The distance between the boy and his image will be the sum of his distance (u) and image distance (v) i.e (u + v)

The distance between the boy and his image = 6 + 6 = 12m

Therefore, the distance between the boy and his image is 12m.

PLS ANSWER FAST WILL GIVE BRAINLEST!!!
Kipish [7]

Answer:

2 Newtons

Explanation:

F = ma

Therefore, your mass would be 1kg and your acceleration would be 2m/s/s

Plug the numbers into the equation:

(1kg)(2m/s/s)

which will equal

2 Newtons
