A double-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. If the separation between the slits decreases, what happens to

the distance between interference fringes? Assume the angles involved remain small.The distance between interference fringes remains the same.The effect cannot be determined unless the distance between the slits and the screen is known.The distance between interference fringes also decreases.The distance between interference fringes increases.

Answer:

The distance between interference fringes increases.

Explanation:

In a double-slit diffraction pattern, the angular position of the nth-maximum in the diffraction patter (measured with respect to the central maximum) is given by

sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda}{d}

where

\theta is the angular position

\lambda is the wavelength

d is the separation between the slits

In this problem, the separation between the slits decreases: this means that d in the formula decreases. As we see, the value of sin \theta (and so, also \theta) is inversely proportional to d: so, if the d decreases, then the angular separation between the fringes increases.

So, the correct answer is

The distance between interference fringes increases.

What physical property causes liquids to not separate in a container?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

B) boiling point

Explanation:

The movement of the particles causes the shape of the liquid to change. The liquid will flow and fill to the lowest part of the container, in the shape of the container

But the volume does not change. The limited amount of space between the particles means that the liquid has only very limited compressibility.

The monkey experiment is an example of what?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

D.) Sensory adaptation

Explanation:

Assuming you are talking about the cloth and metal monkey experiment performed in the field of psychology (not physics), the monkey formed an attachment to the cloth mother because it felt closer to it, as it was more appealing to its senses.
