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.

Answer:

There are six kinds of forces that act on objects when they come into contact with one another: Normal force, applied force, frictional force, tension force, spring force and resisting force. These forces make objects change their motion or movement , the act of going from one place to another.

Define these terms about speed and state their units<br> speed​<br>distance covered<br>time taken
Neporo4naja [7]

Explanation:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. It is a scalar quantity with magnitude both no direction.

  Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

The unit is m/s or km/hr or mile/hr

Distance covered is simply the length of the path traveled.

 The unit is m or km or miles

Time taken is the duration of an event.

  The unit is seconds or minutes or hour.
