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

In a certain process, the energy change of the system is 250 \rm kJ. The process involves 480 \rm kJ of work done by the system.
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

\Delta Q=-230kJ

Explanation:

Using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=\Delta Q-W

Where \Delta U is the change in the internal energy of the system, in this case  \Delta U=250kJ, \Delta Q is the heat tranferred, and W is the work,  W=-480kJ with a negative sign since the work is done by the system.

From the previous equation we solve for heat, because it is the unknown variable in this problem

\Delta Q=\Delta U +W

And replacing the known values:

\Delta Q=250kJ +(-480kJ)

\Delta Q=250kJ -480kJ

\Delta Q=-230kJ

The negative sign shows us that the heat is tranferred from the system into the surroundings.

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. the orbit for satellite a is at a height of 542 km above the earth's sur
Evgen [1.6K]
Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite 
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g' 
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h): 
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)] 
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec 
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec

A source charge generates an electric field of 4286 N/C at a distance of 2. 5 m. What is the magnitude of the source charge? (Us
svp [43]

The magnitude of the source charge is 3 μC which generates 4286 N/C of the electric field. Option B is correct.

What does Gauss Law state?

It states that the electric flux across any closed surface is directly proportional to the net electric charge enclosed by the surface.

Q = \dfrac {ER^2}k

Where,

E = electric force = 4286 N/C

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99 \times  10^9 \rm\ N m ^2 /C ^2

Q\\
     = charges = ?

r = distance of separation = 2.5 m

Put the values in the formula,

Q  = \dfrac {4286\times  2.5 ^2}{8.99 \times  10^9 }\\\\
Q  = 3\rm \  \mu C

Therefore, the magnitude of the source charge is 3 μC.
