A chamber 5.0 cm long with flat, parallel windows at the ends is placed in one arm of a Michelson interferometer (see below). Th

e light used has a wavelength of 500 nm in a vacuum. While all the air is being pumped out of the chamber, 29 fringes pass by a point on the observation screen. What is the refractive index of the air?

Answer:

1.00029

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance which travels through a medium and transfers energy without displacing the medium itself.

interference is one of the characteristics of a wave motion

The Michelson interferometer produces interference fringes by splitting a beam of monochromatic light so that one beam strikes a fixed mirror and the other a movable mirror. When the reflected beams are reflected, an interference pattern results.

∝Δm=Δud

∝=wavelength  500nm

Δm=number of fringes

d=length 9f the  Michelson interferometer chamber

Δu= change in refractive index

500*10^-9*29=0.05*Δu

Δu=0.00029

REFRACTIVE INDEX=1+0.00029

refractive index=

1.00029

2. As a pendulum swings, its energy is constantly converted between kinetic
Alex

Answer:

at point F

Explanation:

To know the point in which the pendulum has the greatest potential energy you can assume that the zero reference of the gravitational energy (it is mandatory to define it) is at the bottom of the pendulum.

Then, when the pendulum reaches it maximum height in its motion the gravitational potential energy is

U = mgh

m: mass of the pendulum

g: gravitational constant

The greatest value is obtained when the pendulum reaches y=h

Furthermore, at this point the pendulum stops to come back in ts motion and then the speed is zero, and so, the kinetic energy (K=1/mv^2=0).

The diver uses compressed air to breathe under water. 1700 litres of air from the atmosphere is compressed into a 12-litre gas c
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A diver works in the sea on a day when the atmospheric pressure is 101 kPa. The diver uses compressed air to breathe under water. 1700 litres of air from the atmosphere is compressed into a 12-litre gas cylinder. The compressed air quickly cools to its original temperature. Calculate the pressure of the air in the cylinder.

Solution:

Boyles law states that the volume of a given gas is inversely proportional to the pressure exerted by the gas, provided that the temperature is constant.

That is:

P ∝ 1/V;   PV = constant

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

Given that P₁ = initial pressure = 101 kPa, V₁ = initial volume = 1700 L, P₂ = cylinder pressure, V₂ = cylinder volume = 12 L. Hence:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

100 kPa * 1700 L = P₂ * 12 L

P₂ = (100 kPa * 1700 L) / 12 L

P₂ = 14308 kPa

Is the wavelength comparable to the size of atoms?
Helen [10]

It totally depends on what kind of wave you're talking about.

-- a sound wave from a trumpet or clarinet playing a concert-A pitch is about 78 centimeters long ... about 2 and 1/2 feet.  This is bigger than atoms.

-- a radio wave from an AM station broadcasting on 550 KHz, at the bottom of your radio dial, is about 166 feet long ... maybe comparable to the height of a 10-to-15-story building.  This is bigger than atoms.

-- a radio wave heating the leftover meatloaf inside your "microwave" oven is about 4.8 inches long ... maybe comparable to the length of your middle finger.  this is bigger than atoms.

-- a deep rich cherry red light wave ... the longest one your eye can see ... is around 750 nanometers long.  About 34,000 of them all lined up will cover an inch.  These are pretty small, but still bigger than atoms.

-- the shortest wave that would be called an "X-ray" is 0.01 nanometer long.     You'd have to line up 2.5 billion of <u>those</u> babies to cover an inch.  Hold on to these for a second ... there's one more kind of wave to mention.

-- This brings us to "gamma rays" ... our name for the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  To be a gamma ray, it has to be shorter than 0.01 nanometer.

Talking very very very very roughly, atoms range in size from about 0.025 nanometers to about 0.26 nanometers.

The short end of the X-rays, and on down through the gamma rays, are in this neighborhood.

An object has a force of 10 newtons from the right and 17 newtons from the left. Once the object starts moving toward the right,
Debora [2.8K]
The object will come to a halt.

Resultant force at start:17-10=7 to the left
When additional force is added to the right,it balances the forces acting in the object.

7N to the right and 7N to the left suggests that the object will come to a halt as it is in equilibrium.
