Young's experiment is performed with light from excited helium atoms (LaTeX: \lambdaλ=502 nm). Fringes are measured carefully on

a screen 1.33 m away from the double slit, and the center of the 18th fringe (not counting the central bright fringe) is found to be 10.7 mm from the center of the central bright fringe. What is the separation of the two slits? Give an answer in mm. Pay attention to the number of significant figures.

Answer:

d = 1.12 mm

Explanation:

The expression for the separation of the interference lines in Young's double slit experiment, for constructive interference is

     d sin θ = m λ

Where d is the separation of the slits, m is the order of interference and λ is the wavelength

Let's use trigonometry to separate the lines on the screen

   tan θ = y/L

As the angles are very small

   tan θ = sin θ / cos θ ≈ Sen θ

We substitute in the initial equation

   d (y/L) = m λ

Let's calculate

    d = m λ L / y

Reduce the SI System

    λ = 502 nm = 502 10⁻⁹ m

    L = 1.33 m

    m = 18

     y = 10.7 mm = 10.7 10⁻³ m

     d = 18 502 10⁻⁹ 1.33 /10.7 10⁻³

    d = 1.12 10⁻³ m

    d = 1.12 mm

We give the answer with three significant figures because all experimental measures have three figures, n is an integer and is not an experimental measure.

according to newton's law of inertia, a railroad train in motion should continue going forever even if its engine is turned off.
Umnica [9.8K]

Unless acted upon by an external force, an object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest prefers to stay at rest.

We can also see that we regress when a car abruptly begins to move from a condition of rest. The inertia of repose also contributes to this. Our bodies have a tendency to stay in a condition of rest, but as soon as the automobile starts moving, we start to regress.

Unless influenced by an imbalanced force, an item at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion keeps moving in a straight path at a constant pace. Second Law of Motion by Newton.

As you can see from the Group 1 stars, the cooler or hotter a star is, the brighter it will be. Group 2 and Group 3 stars do not
forsale [732]

Answer:

brightness that we observe from a star is related to the energy produced and the distance to the Earth

Explanation:

In stars, the color that we observe is directly related to the temperature of the star by the y of the Wien displacement.

             λ_{max} T = 2,898 10³

the brightness that we observe from a star is related to the energy produced and the distance to the Earth

If you tried to use a diverging lens as a magnifier by placing the object at the focal point, what type of image would be produc
gladu [14]

Answer:

Upright and smaller than the object

Explanation:

Diverging lens as the name suggests that the rays diverge after the refraction and do not meet in reality. A concave lens is called diverging lens. When there is refraction of light through a concave lens then the light bends away from the principal axis and hence never meet in reality but on tracing the rays backwards the rays appear to meet leading to the formation of a virtual image, which is erect and smaller than the object for an object placed at the focus of the lens.

Similar image is formed for any case when the object is between optical center and infinity.
