Two narrow, parallel slits separated by 0.850 mm are illuminated by 600-nm light, and the viewing screen is 2.80 m away from the

slits. (a) What is the phase difference between the two interfering waves on a screen at a point 2.50 mm from the central bright fringe? (b) What is the ratio of the intensity at this point to the intensity at the center of a bright fringe?

Answer:

a) 7.947 radians

b) \mathbf{\frac{I}{I_{max}}=0.4535}

Explanation:

y = Distance from central bright fringe = 2.5 mm

λ = Wavelength = 600 nm

L = Distance between screen and source = 2.8 m

d = Slit distance = 0.85 mm

tan\theta =\frac{y}{L}\\\Rightarrow tan\theta =\frac{2.5}{2800}=0.000892\\\Rightarrow \theta=tan^{-1}0.000892=0.05115^{\circ}

\Delta r= dsin\theta\Rightarrow \Delta r=dsin0.05115=7.589\times10^{-7}

a) Phase difference

\phi=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}\Delta r\\\Rightarrow \phi=\frac{2\pi}{600\times 10^{-9}}7.589\times10^{-7}=7.947\ rad

∴ Phase difference between the two interfering waves on a screen at a point 2.50 mm from the central bright fringe is 7.947 radians

b) \frac{I}{I_{max}}=cos^2\frac{\phi}{2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{I}{I_{max}}=cos^2\frac{7.947}{2}\\\Rightarrow \mathbf{\frac{I}{I_{max}}=0.4535}

∴ Ratio of the intensity at this point to the intensity at the center of a bright fringe \mathbf{\frac{I}{I_{max}}=0.4535}

One
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

8.0 mm

Explanation:

Force of a spring is:

F = kx

where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement.

When the force is equal to Ben's weight:

mg = kx

(180 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = (220,000 N/m) x

x = 0.0080 m

The spring compresses 0.0080 m, or 8.0 mm.

In a solar system far, far away the sun's intensity is 400 W/m2 for an inner planet located a distance R away. What is the sun's
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

 I₂ = 25 W / m²

Explanation:

Intensity is defined as the relationship between power and area

       I = P / A

the power emitted by the sun is constant

      P = I A

for the two points of interest

      I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

energy is distributed on the surface of a sphere

      A = 4π R²

      I₁ R₁² = I₂ R₂²

      I₂ = \frac{R_1^2}{R_2^2} \ I_1

let's calculate

      I₂ = \frac{R^2}{(4R)^2}  \ 400    

      I₂ = 25 W / m²

A book shelf is at rest in a room a force of 35.0 newton i applied to bookshelf
BigorU [14]

The frictional force would be horizontal. If the 35.0 N force is also horizontal, those 2 forces would be in opposite directions. That would simplify the calculation. Since no mention is made of any angle, it is unlikely that the 35.0 N force is not horizontal.
Assuming that the 35.0 N force is horizontal, the net force is
