A five pushing and letting go of the yoyo
Given Information:
Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm
Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm
Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm
Required Information:
Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?
Answer:
Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?
Explanation:
The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,
y = Dλ/d
y/λ = D/d
Where
λ is the wavelength
y is the distance between bright fringes.
d is the double slit separation distance
D is the distance from the slits to the screen
For the red laser,
yr/λr = D/d
For the laser pointer,
yp/λp = D/d
Equating both equations yields,
yr/λr = yp/λp
Re-arrange for λp
λp = yp*λr/yr
λp = (5*632.8)/5.14
λp = 615.56 nm
Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.
Answer:
Explanation:
The diagram has a fairly simple explanation. In the top diagram, the space between the particle is increasing. That means that acceleration is increasing. The bottom diagram shows just the opposite. The particle starts off making large "distances" between where the particle is recorded and then the distances between recordings lessens and the particle is slowing down.
Rule: the greater the "distance" between dot positions, the greater the acceleration, because the speed is large.
Top diagram: increasing distance between dots = larger speed. The distance becomes greater as the particle moves to the right.
Bottom diagram: starts off large and decreases as we move from left to right = - acceleration.
