An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 550 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s

lits separated by a distance (between centers) of 0.500 mm .
a. If the slits are very narrow, what would be the angular position of the second- order, two-slit interference maxima?
b. Let the slits have a width 0.300 mm. In terms of the intensity lo at the center of the central maximum, what is the intensity at the angular position in part "a"?

Answer:

a

 \theta  =  0.0022 rad

b

 I  =  0.000304 I_o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The  wavelength of the light is \lambda  = 550 \ nm  =  550 *10^{-9} \ m

    The  distance of the slit separation is  d = 0.500 \ mm = 5.0 *10^{-4} \ m

 

Generally the condition for two slit interference  is  

     dsin \theta =  m \lambda

Where m is the order which is given from the question as  m = 2

=>    \theta  =  sin ^{-1} [\frac{m \lambda}{d} ]

 substituting values  

      \theta  =  0.0022 rad

Now on the second question  

   The distance of separation of the slit is  

       d =  0.300 \ mm  =  3.0 *10^{-4} \ m

The  intensity at the  the angular position in part "a" is mathematically evaluated as

      I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin \beta}{\beta} ]^2

Where  \beta is mathematically evaluated as

       \beta  =  \frac{\pi *  d  *  sin(\theta )}{\lambda }

  substituting values

     \beta  =  \frac{3.142  *  3*10^{-4}  *  sin(0.0022 )}{550 *10^{-9} }

    \beta  = 0.06581

So the intensity is  

    I  =  I_o  [\frac{sin (0.06581)}{0.06581} ]^2

   I  =  0.000304 I_o

Answer: A river delta is a landform created by deposition of sediment that is carried by a river as the flow leaves its mouth and enters slower-moving or stagnant water. This occurs when a river enters an ocean, sea, estuary, lake, reservoir, or (more rarely) another river that cannot carry away the supplied sediment. The size and shape of a delta is controlled by the balance between watershed processes that supply sediment.

What are the conditions required for a rigid body to be in translational equilibrium?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The condition for translation equilibrium is that is that the net force acting on the body must be zero.

The sum all the external forces acting on the body in horizontal as well as vertical direction must be zero.

∑Fₓ=0  and ∑Fy=0

now if the above two condition are satisfied the rigid body is said to be in  translational equilibrium.

God bless... hope this help to clear your doubt.
