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

An energy source forces a constant current of 2A to flow through a light bulbfilament for twenty seconds. If 4.6 kJ is given off
QveST [7]

Answer:

The voltage drop across the bulb is 115 V

Explanation:

The voltage drop equation is given by:

V=\frac{\Delta W}{\Delta q}

Where:

ΔW is the total work done (4.6kJ)

Δq is the total charge

We need to use the definition of electric current to find Δq

I=\frac{\Delta q}{\Delta t}

Where:

I is the current (2 A)

Δt is the time (20 s)

2=\frac{\Delta q}{20}

q=40 C

Then, we can put this value of charge in the voltage equation.

V=\frac{4600}{40}=115 V

Therefore, the voltage drop across the bulb is 115 V.

I hope it helps you!
