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

a hammer drops from a height of 8 meters. calculate the speed with which it hits the ground. show work
ioda

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:

s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer

u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)

v is the final velocity

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:

v=\sqrt{u^2+2as}=\sqrt{0+2(9.8)(8)}=12.5 m/s

So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.

An open pipe of length 0.58 m vibrates in the third harmonic with a frequency of 939Hz. What is the speed of sound through the a
vaieri [72.5K]

363 m/s is the speed of sound through the air in the pipe.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The formula used to calculate the wavelength given as below,

      Wavelength (\lambda)=\frac{\text { wave velocity }(v)}{\text { frequency }(f)}

      v=\lambda \times f   --------> eq. 1

In power system, harmonics define by positive integers of the fundamental frequency. So the third order harmonic is a multiple of the third fundamental frequency. Each harmonic creates an additional node and an opposite node, as well as an additional half wave within the string.

If the number of waves in the circuit is known, the comparison between standing wavelength and circuit length can be calculated algebraically. The general expression for this given as,

         L=\frac{n \lambda}{2}

For first harmonic, n =1

         L=\frac{\lambda}{2}

For second harmonic, n =2

         L=\frac{2 \lambda}{2}=\lambda

For third harmonic, n =3

         L=\frac{3 \lambda}{2}

         \lambda=\frac{2 L}{3}   -------> eq. 2

Here given f = 939 Hz, L = 0.58 m...And, substitute eq 2 in eq 1 and values, we get

   v=\frac{2 \times 0.58 \times 989}{3}=\frac{1089.24}{3}=363.08 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}
