In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the

first light source has a wavelength of 587 nm. Two different interference patterns are observed. If the 10th order bright fringe from the first light source coincides with the 11th order bright fringe from the second light source, what is the wavelength of the light coming from the second monochromatic light source?

Answer:

The wavelength is \lambda_2 =  534 *10^{-9} \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength of the first light is  \lambda _ 1 =  587 \ nm

    The order of the first light that is being considered is  m_1  =  10

     The order of the second light that is being considered is  m_2  =  11

Generally the distance between the fringes for the first light is mathematically represented as

      y_1 =  \frac{ m_1  * \lambda_1 *  D}{d}

 Here  D is the distance from the screen

 and    d  is the distance of separation of the slit.

      For the second light the distance between the fringes is  mathematically represented as

         y_2 =  \frac{ m_2  * \lambda_2 *  D}{d}

Now given that both of the light are passed through the same double slit

       \frac{y_1}{y_2}  =  \frac{\frac{m_1 *  \lambda_1 * D}{d}  }{\frac{m_2 *  \lambda_2 * D}{d}  } = 1

=>    \frac{ m_1 *  \lambda _1  }{ m_2  *  \lambda_2} =  1

=>     \lambda_2 =  \frac{m_1 *  \lambda_1}{m_2}

=>    \lambda_2 =  \frac{10  *   587 *10^{-9}}{11}

=>   \lambda_2 =  534 *10^{-9} \ m

definition of breeder reactors.

These are a type of nuclear reactors which produce more fissile material than they consume

Advantages: Breeder reactors produce Pu-239 which can be extensively used as a nuclear fuel. Also, Pu-239 can absorb neutron to form Pu-240, which is another fertile material.[1]

the video identifies the force pair produced when an apple falls through the air. which force belongs in a free-body diagram of
trapecia [35]

The free-body diagram of an apple falling through the air has weight of the apple pointing downwards and the air-resistance on the apple acting upwards.

When an object falls from up to the ground, the object falls under in the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

The vertical component of the force on the apple as it falls trough the air is given as;

∑Fy = 0

Fₙ - W = 0

Fₙ = W

where;

  • <em>Fₙ is the frictional force on the apple acting upwards</em>
  • <em>W is the weight of the apple acting downwards</em>

The free-body diagram of the apple is represented as follows;

                                         ↑ Fₙ

                                         Ο

                                         ↓ W

Thus, the free-body diagram of an apple falling through the air has weight of the apple pointing downwards and the air-resistance on the apple acting upwards.

A 55.4 g sample of water at 99.61 °C is placed in a constant pressure calorimeter. Then, 23.4 g of zinc metal at 21.6 °C is adde
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the zinc metal measured in this experiment is 0.427 J/g.°C

Explanation:

From the experimental data, the water loses heat because its initial temperature is greater than the final temperature of the mixture. On the other hand, the zinc metal gains heat because its initial temperature is less than the final temperature of the mixture

Heat loss by water = Heat gain by zinc metal

m1C1(T1 - T3) = m2C2(T3 - T2)

m1 is mass of water = 55.4 g

C1 is specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J/g.°C

m2 is mass of zinc metal = 23.4 g

C2 is specific heat capacity of zinc metal

T1 is the initial temperature of water = 99.61 °C

T2 is the initial temperature of zinc metal = 21.6 °C

T3 is the final temperature of the mixture = 96.4 °C

55.4×4.2(99.61 - 96.4) = 23.4×C2(96.4 - 21.6)

746.9028 = 1750.32C2

C2 = 746.9028/1750.32 = 0.427 J/g.°C
