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

A vector of components (−3, −2) is multiplied by the scalar value of -6. What is the magnitude and direction of the resultant ve

mixer [17]

The components of the resultant will be: (18, 12)

In order to find the magnitude you have to apply the Pythagorean theorem:
√(18² + 12²) = √468 = 21.6
Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant vector is 21.6

The direction is given by the formula:
α = tan⁻¹(v_y / v_x)
= <span>tan⁻¹(12/18)
= 33.7°
Therefore, the direction will be 33.7° from the x-axis.</span>

A hockey puck is struck so that it slides at a constant speed and strikes the far side of the rink, 58.2 m away. The shooter hea

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

$v = 33.66 m/s$

Explanation:

Let hockey puck is moving at constant speed v

so here we have

$d = vt$

so time taken by the puck to strike the wall is given as

$t = \frac{58.2}{v}$

now time taken by sound to come back at the position of shooter is given as

$t_2 = \frac{58.2}{340}$

$t_2 = 0.17s$

so we know that total time is 1.9 s

$1.9 = t + t_2$

$1.9 = t + 0.17$

$1.9 - 0.17 = t$

$t = 1.73 s$

now we have

$1.73 = \frac{58.2}{v}$

$v = 33.66 m/s$

A uniform electric field of strength E points to the right. An electron is fired with a velocity v0 to the right and travels a d

zvonat [6]

Answer:

<u /> $D_l=d$ <u />

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

The Electric field of strength direction =Right

The Velocity of The First Electron=V_0

The Velocity of The Second Electron=V_0

Therefore

$V_{e1}=V_{e2}$

Generally, the equation for the Horizontal Displacement of electron is mathematically given by

$D=\frac{at^2}{2}$

Where

Acceleration is given as

$a=\frac{V_o}{2d}$

And

Time

$T=\frac{d}{v_0}$

Therefore horizontal displacement towards the left is

$D_l=\frac{(\frac{V_o}{2d})(\frac{d}{v_0})^2}{2}$

<u /> $D_l=d$ <u />
