A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli

ts, and interference pattern formed on a wall several meters away has bright fringes spaced 5.00 mm apart near the center of the pattern. When the laser is replaced by a small laser pointer, the fringes are 5.14 mm apart. What is the wavelength of the light produced by the laser pointer?

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.

A simple model of a hydrogen atom is a positive point charge +e (representing the proton) at the center of a ring of radius a wi
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Now e is due to the ring at a

So

We say

1/4πEo(ea/ a²+a²)^3/2

= 1/4πEo ea/2√2a³

So here E is faced towards the ring

Next is E due to a point at the centre

So

E² = 1/4πEo ( e/a²)

Finally we get the total

Et= E²-E

= e/4πEo(2√2-1/2√2)

So the direction here is away from the ring

In 1.71 minutes, a ski lift raises four skiers at constant speed to a height of 148 m. The average mass of each skier is 62.9 kg
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

3560.36 Watts

Explanation:

Power, P=\frac {nΔW}{Δt) where P is power, n is the number of skiers, t is time in seconds and Δt is change in time, ΔW is given by mgh where m is mass, g is gravitational constant, h is height

Substituting n for 4 skiers, m for 62.9 Kg, g for 9.81, h for 148 m and t for 1.71*60=102.6 seconds

P=\frac {4*62.9*9.81*148}{1.71*60}=3560.360702  Watts

Average power is approximately 3560.36 Watts
