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

Can we use momentum to see how fast the earth is going?
Kisachek [45]

Yes, if we know the Earth's mass

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is a vector quantity given by the equation

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

In this case, we are asked if we can find the velocity of the Earth by starting from its momentum. Indeed, we can. In fact, we can rewrite the equation above as

v=\frac{p}{m}

Therefore, if we know the momentum of the Earth (p) and we know its mass as well (m), we can solve the formula to find the Earth's velocity.

The car in the figure travels at a constant speed along the road shown. Draw vector showing its acceleration at the point C if t
yuradex [85]

Answer:

The vector form is as shown in the attachment

Explanation:

The figure as shown in the diagram, indicates that the car is moving along the road at a constant speed. Centripetal acceleration comes into play for an object moving in a circular motion at uniform speed. The centripetal acceleration is the acceleration experienced by an object while in uniform circular motion.

Mathematically from centripetal acceleration; a = v2/r

The equation shows that there is an inverse relationship between the acceleration and the radius of curvature as such the radius of curvature at the point A will be more than the radius of curvature at the point C, this shows that the centripetal acceleration at point C will be more than the centripetal acceleration at point A.

The attachment shows the figure and the representation in vectorial form.
