Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.400mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed

kogti [31]

Answer:

a) $y_{first}=5.3mm$

b) $y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm$

Explanation:

The width of the central bright in this diffraction pattern is given by:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}$ when m is a natural number.

here:

m is 1 (to find the central bright fringe)
D is the distance from the slit to the screen
a is the slit wide
λ is the wavelength

So we have:

$y_{first}=\frac{633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}$

$y_{first}=5.3mm$

Now, if we do m=2 we can find the distance to the second minima.

$y_{2}=\frac{2*633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}$

$y_{2}=10.6 mm$

Now we need to subtract these distance, to get the width of the first bright fringe :

$y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm$

I hope it heps you!

How large must the coefficient of static friction be between the tires and the road if a car is to round a level curve of radius

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

<h2>The coefficient of static friction will be 0.7</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

the radius of curve= 90m

speed v= 90 km/h to m/s = (90*100)/60*60= 25 m/s

we know that the expression for the centripetal force acting on the car

$Fc= \frac{mv^2}{r}$ -------1

we also know that the expression for the frictional force between road and tire.

Ff= μmg--------2

Equating equation 1 and 2 we have

μmg= mv^2/r

μ= v^2/gr

substituting the values of speed and radius we have (assuming g= 9.81m/s^2)

μ= 25^2/9.81*90

μ= 625/882.9

μ= 0.7

Problem 1: Spherical mirrorConsider a spherical mirror of radius 2 m, and rays which go parallel to the optic axis. What is thep

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1) iii i= 1m, 2) iii and iv, 3) i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

Explanation:

Problem 1

For this problem we use two equations the equations of the focal distance in mirrors

f = r / 2

f = 2/2

f = 1 m

The builder's equation

1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, "o and i" are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

For a ray to arrive parallel to the surface it must come from infinity, whereby o = ∞ and 1 / o = 0

1 / f = 0 + 1 / i

i = f

i = 1 m

The image is formed at the focal point

The correct answer is iii

Problem 2

For this problem we have two possibilities the lens is convergent or divergent, in both cases the back face (R₂) must be flat

Case 1 Flat lens - convex (convergent)

R₂ = infinity

R₁ > 0

Cas2 Flat-concave (divergent) lens

R₂ = infinity

R₁ <0

Why the correct answers are iii and iv

Problem 3

For a thick lens the rays parallel to the first surface fall in their focal length (f₁), this is the exit point for the second surface whereby the distance to the object is o = L –f₁, let's apply the constructor equation to this second surface

1 / f₂ = 1 / (L-f₁) + 1 / i

1 / i = 1 / f₂ - 1 / (L-f₁)

1 / i = (L-f₁-f₂) / f₂ (L-f₁)

i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

This is the image of the rays that enter parallel to the first surface

A light bulb in a camper’s flashlight is labeled 4.1 V, 0.40 A. Find the equivalent current if three of these light bulbs are co

Gnesinka [82]

Explanation:

first rule of parallel circuits : the voltage is the same in the whole circuit, no matter where we measure.

so, we have 1.5V at every bulb.

second rule of parallel circuits : the total current is the sum of the individual branch currents.

so, if the battery really allows it, then we have 3 times 0.4 A = 3×0.4 = 1.2 A as current in the circuit.
