A ray of light contains two colors: red with wavelength of 660 nm and blue with wavelength 470 nm. The ray passes through two na

rrow slits separated by 0.30 mm and the interference pattern is observed on a screen 5.0 m from the slits. What is the distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes for each wavelength?

Answer:

The distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes  for each wavelength is 3.17 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 660 nm

Wavelength of blue = 470 nm

Separated d= 0.30 mm

Distance between screen and slits D= 5.0 m

We need to calculate the distance for red wavelength

Using formula for distance

y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

Where, D = distance between screen and slits

d = separation of slits

Put the value into the formula

y=\dfrac{660\times10^{-9}\times5.0}{0.30\times10^{-3}}

y=11\ mm

For blue wavelength,

Put the value into the formula again

y'=\dfrac{470\times10^{-9}\times5.0}{0.30\times10^{-3}}

y'=7.83\ mm

We need to calculate the distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes for each wavelength

Using formula for distance

\Delta y=y-y'

\Delta y=11-7.83

\Delta y=3.17\ mm

Hence, The distance on the screen between the first-order bright fringes  for each wavelength is 3.17 mm.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy. If a car was released down the track from a height what happens to the potential ene
erastova [34]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.25-kg mass is hung from the spring. After all vibrations have died away, the spring
ch4aika [34]

The kinetic energy of the mass at the instant it passes back through its equilibrium position is about 1.20 J

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Let's recall Elastic Potential Energy formula as follows:

\boxed{E_p = \frac{1}{2}k x^2}

where:

<em>Ep = elastic potential energy ( J )</em>

<em>k = spring constant ( N/m )</em>

<em>x = spring extension ( compression ) ( m )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem!

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of object = m = 1.25 kg

initial extension = x = 0.0275 m

final extension = x' = 0.0735 - 0.0275 = 0.0460 m

<u>Asked:</u>

kinetic energy = Ek = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>Firstly , we will calculate the spring constant by using </em><em>Hooke's Law</em><em> as follows:</em>

F = k x

mg = k x

k = mg \div x

k = 1.25(9.8) \div 0.0275

k = 445 \frac{5}{11} \texttt{ N/m}

\texttt{ }

<em>Next , we will use </em><em>Conservation of Energy</em><em> formula to solve this problem:</em>

Ep_1 + Ek_1 = Ep_2 + Ek_2

\frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh + 0 = \frac{1}{2}k x^2 + Ek

Ek = \frac{1}{2}k (x')^2 + mgh - \frac{1}{2}k x^2

Ek = \frac{1}{2}k ( (x')^2 - x^2 ) + mgh

Ek = \frac{1}{2}(445 \frac{5}{11}) ( 0.0460^2 - 0.0275^2 ) + 1.25(9.8)(0.0735)

\boxed {Ek \approx 1.20 \texttt{ J}}

One end of a steel rod of radius R = 10 mm and length L = 80cm is held in a vise. A force of magnitude F = 60kN is then applied
Alexandra [31]

Answer: 1.91*10^8 N/m²

Explanation:

Given

Radius of the steel, R = 10 mm = 0.01 m

Length of the steel, L = 80 cm = 0.8 m

Force applied on the steel, F = 60 kN

Stress on the rod, = ?

Area of the rod, A = πr²

A = 3.142 * 0.01²

A = 0.0003142

Stress = Force applied on the steel/Area of the steel

Stress = F/A

Stress = 60*10^3 / 0.0003142

Stress = 1.91*10^8 N/m²

From the calculations above, we can therefore say, the stress on the rod is 1.91*10^8 N/m²
