In a double-slit experiment, the slits are illuminated by a monochromatic, coherent light source having a wavelength of 609 nm.

An interference pattern is observed on the screen. The distance between the screen and the double-slit is 1.69 m and the distance between the two slits is 0.118 mm. A light wave propogates from each slit to the screen. What is the path length difference between the distance traveled by the waves for the sixth-order maximum (bright fringe) on the screen?

Ray Of Light [21]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\Delta x = 3.65 \mu m

Explanation:

As we know that the sixth order maximum will have path difference given as

\Delta x = N\lambda

here we know that

N = order of maximum

\lambda = 609 nm

now we have

N = 6

so we know that

\Delta x = 6(609 nm)

\Delta x = 3.65 \mu m

Snell's law: n1Sinα=n2Sin β where α=Incidence angle, β=angle of refraction, n1 and n2 are the indices of refraction for water and air respectively.
Therefore,
Sinα=n2/n1 Sinβ For refracted ray to be along the surface of water, β=90° and thus Sinβ = 1

Sinα=n2/n1= 1/1.33 = 0.7519 => α=sin^-1 (0.7519) = 48.75°
When light moves from a medium of higher index of refraction (such as water) to medium of lesser index of refraction (such as air), the refracted ray is bend such that α is bigger than β. This  is internal refraction. At some value of α, β approaches 90°. This incidence angle is called critical incidence angle. Therefore, the current scenario is shows critical angle of incidence.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

options A and C

Explanation:

Since, the spheres are of same size and rotational speed of the sphere are not dependent on their masses. So, both the sphere will reach the bottom of the at the same time with the same speed. But their kinetic energies are different.

So, options A and C are correct.

sashaice [31]

Answer: Melting

Explanation:

When Frieda made a pyramid of marshmallows, she was representing the atoms in a solid substance as the atoms are clumped together and unable to move.

When she then knocks it down, she is showing the movement of atoms in a liquid substance as they are now freer than they were before. The process by which substances go from solid to liquid is melting.
