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.

You have four fixed-volume containers at STP . Container A has 0.5 mol of gas in 11.2 L. Container B has 2 mol of gas in 22.4 L.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Container A and C

Explanation:

ideal gas equation gives P=nRT/V

so at constant Temperature and pressure, P=n/T

Container A and C after dividing number of moles and Volume, are found to be the same=0.0446

1. Space probes have not landed on Pluto yet. Describe three types of information you would collect if you were designing the pr
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Space probes are made to conduct science experiments. They do not have people on them. Space probes have helped scientists get information about our solar system. Most probes are not designed to return to Earth. Some have landed on other planets! Others have flown past the planets and taken pictures of them for scientists to see. There are even some space probes that go into orbit around other planets and study them for a long time. The information they gather is used to help us understand the weather and other changes which happen on planets other than the Earth. This information is important in helping to plan other space missions such as ones to Mars and to Saturn.

Tasya [4]

Answer:1.04 N

Explanation:

Given

Gravitational Force on the Platter is 5 N

Tray makes an angle of \theta =12^{\circ}

This gravitational Force has components along and Perpendicular to Platter

Perpendicular Force W_p=W\cos \theta

W_p=5\times \cos 12=4.89 N

Along the Tray

W_{along}=W\sin \theta

W_{along}=5\times \sin 12=1.04 N

Thus 1.04 N is the magnitude of force that will cause Platter to slide down

Airida [17]

Answer:

1) The human skeleton performs six major functions: support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals, and endocrine regulation. protection of internal organs

2) Joints are where two bones meet. They make the skeleton flexible — without them, movement would be impossible. Joints allow our bodies to move in many ways.

3)A joint is a point where two or more bones meet. There are three main types of joints; Fibrous (immovable), Cartilaginous (partially moveable) and the Synovial (freely moveable) joint

4)A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
