Light from a helium-neon laser (λ = 633 nm) is used to illuminate two narrow slits. The interference pattern is observed on a sc

reen 3.00 m behind the slits. Eleven bright fringes are seen, spanning a distance of 52.0 mm. What is the spacing (in mm) between the slits?

Answer:

The spacing between the slits is <u>0.40233 mm</u>

Explanation:

Let 'd' be the distance between the slits and 'D' be the distance of the screen from the plane of slits.

We know that , in an interference pattern the fringe(dark or bright) width is given by -

f = \dfrac{Dλ}{d}

For 11 bright fringes , if its total spanning distance is 52.0 mm , then for one bright fringe , the fringe width(f) would be -

f = \dfrac{52}{11} = 4.72 mm

∴ From above equations ,

\dfrac{Dλ}{d} = 4.72 mm = (4.72 × 10^{-3}[/teλx]) mHere, D = 3 m           λ = 633 nm =(633 × [tex]10^{-9}) m

Substituting the values in above equation -

\dfrac{3×633×10^{-9} }{d} = 4.72 ×10^{-3}

∴ d = 0.0004023 m =0.4023 mm

With what tension must a rope with length 3.00 mm and mass 0.105 kgkg be stretched for transverse waves of frequency 40.0 HzHz t
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

the tension of the rope is 34.95 N

Explanation:

Given;

length of the rope, L = 3 m

mass of the rope, m = 0.105 kg

frequency of the wave, f = 40 Hz

wavelength of the wave, λ = 0.79 m

Let the tension of the rope = T

The speed of the wave is given as;

v = f\lambda = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\where;\\\\\mu \ is \ mass \ per \ unit \ length\\\\\mu  = \frac{0.105}{3} = 0.035 \ kg/m\\\\v = f\lambda = 40 \times 0.79 = 31.6 \ m/s\\\\v =  \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu} \\\\T = v^2 \mu\\\\T = (31.6^2)(0.035)\\\\T = 34.95 \ N

Therefore, the tension of the rope is 34.95 N

A heavy boy and a lightweight girl are balanced on a massless seesaw. The boy moves backward, increasing his distance from the p
victus00 [196]

Answer:

The side the boy is sitting on will tilt downward.

Explanation:

According to the law of moments when the same force is applied at a greater distance from the pivot then the effect of moment is greater about that point.

<u>Mathematically momentum is given as:</u>

M=F\times r

where:

F is the applied force at a distance 'r' acting in a direction perpendicular to the line joining the point of application and the hinge.

  • Moment is the rotational effect of the applied force on the body.

<em>When the boy of a heavier mass than the girl was sitting on a balanced see-saw then it is certain that he was closer to the hinge than the girl to balance the turning effect (in case of an unbiased see-saw). When the body moves farther his weight is same but the radial distance from the hinge increases which increases his moment of weight.</em>
