A scientist directs monochromatic light toward a single slit in an opaque barrier. The light has a wavelength of 580 nm and the

slit is 0.215 mm wide. The light that passes through the slit creates a diffraction pattern on a screen, which is 1.80 m from the slit. (a) How wide (in mm) is the central maximum (the central, bright fringe), as measured on the screen? ______ mm
(b) How wide (in mm) is either of the two first-order bright fringes, as measured on the screen? ______ mm

Answer:

a) 9.72 mm

b) 4.86 mm

Explanation:

wave length of light  λ is  580 nm = 580 \times 10⁻⁹ m

Width of slit d = 0.215\times 10⁻³ m

Distance of screen D  = 1.8 m.

Width of one fringe = \frac{\lambda\times D}{d}

Putting the values we get fringe width

= \frac{580\times10^{-9}\times1.8}{.000315}

=4.86 mm.

a) Width of central maxima = 2 times width of one fringe

= 2 times 4.86

=9.72 mm

b) width of each fringe except central fringe  is same , no matter what the order is.Only brightness changes .

So width of either of the two first order bright fringe will be same and it will be  

= 4.86 mm.

A 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 15 m/s . Estimate the net force on the person if he or sh
zalisa [80]

Complete question:

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a "crumple zone" in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1 m as the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. In contrast,  a passenger not wearing a seat belt or using an air bag decelerates over a distance of 5mm.

(a) A 60 kg person is in a head-on collision. The car's speed at impact is 15 m/s . Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys.

Answer:

The net force on the person as the air bad deploys is -6750 N backwards

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the passenger, m = 60 kg

velocity of the car at impact, u = 15 m/s

final velocity of the car after impact, v = 0

distance moved as the front of the car crumples, s = 1 m

First, calculate the acceleration of the car at impact;

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 15² + (2 x 1)a

0 = 225 + 2a

2a = -225

a = -225 / 2

a = -112.5 m/s²

The net force on the person;

F = ma

F = 60 (-112.5)

F = -6750 N backwards

Therefore, the net force on the person as the air bad deploys is -6750 N backwards
