To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the related concepts to the principle of overlap, specifically to single slit diffraction experiment concept.

Mathematically this can be expressed as:

$dsin\theta = m\lambda$

Where,

d = Width of the slit

$\lambda =$ Wavelength

$\theta =$ Angle relative to the original direction of the light

m = Any integer which represent the order of the equation (number of repetition of the spectrum)

To solve the problem we need to rearrange the equation and find the wavelength

$\lambda = \frac{dsin\theta}{m}$

Our values are given as,

$d = 1.46\mu m = 1.46*10^{-6}m$

$\theta = 21\°$

$m = 1$

Replacing in our equation we have,

$\lambda = \frac{dsin\theta}{m}$

$\lambda = \frac{(1.46*10^{-6})sin(21)}{1}$

$\lambda = 5.232*10^{-7}m$

$\lambda = 523.2nm$

Therefore the wavelength is 523.2nm

A sled slides down a hill 42 meters high with a slope of 27 o. The total mass of the sled plus contents is 256 kg. It starts fro

kkurt [141]

Answer:

v = 28.7 m/s

Explanation:

According to the Work Energy Theorem, the work done by external forces on the system, is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the system.
In absence of friction, the only force that does work , producing a displacement in the direction of the force, is the component of gravity parallel to the slide:

$Fg_{p } = m*g* sin \theta (1)$

The displacement d,along the slide, can be found from the definition of the sine of an angle, as follows:

$sin \theta =\frac{h}{d}$

Solving for d, we get:

$d = \frac{h}{sin \theta} (2)$

Now, the work done by Fgp, is just the product of the force times the displacement, as follows:

$W = Fgp * d$

From (1) and (2) we can find W as follows:

$W =Fg_{p }* d = m*g* sin \theta * \frac{h}{sin \theta} = m*g*h$

This expression must be equal to ΔK, as follows:

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m *v^{2} = m*g*h$

Simplifying common terms, we can solve for v (the velocity of the sled at the bottom of the slide), as follows:

$v =\sqrt{2*g*h} = \sqrt{2*9.8 m/s2*42 m} = 28.7 m/s$

The velocity of the sled at the bottom of the slide is 28.7 m/s, taking as positive the direction down the slide.

The metal with the highest melting temperature is tungsten which melts at around 3400 K. What is the wavelength of the peak of t

alekssr [168]

Explanation:

It is given that, the metal with the highest melting temperature is tungsten which melts at around 3400 K, T = 3400 K

We need to find the wavelength of the peak of the black body distribution for this temperature. It can be calculated using Wein's displacement law as :

$\lambda\times T=k$

k is the constant, $k=2.89\times 10^{-3}\ m.k$

$\lambda=\dfrac{k}{T}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2.89\times 10^{-3}\ m.k}{3400\ k}$

$\lambda=8.5\times 10^{-7}\ m$

or

$\lambda=850\ nm$

The wavelength of infrared is from 700 nm to 1 mm. So, the lies in infrared region of the spectrum. Hence, this is the required solution.
