Answer:

a) 1.8°

b) 0.18°

c) 0.018°

Explanation:

Wavelength (λ) = 630nm = 630 *10^-9m

The equation that describes the angular deflection of a dark band is

Wsin(βm) = mλ

w = width of the single slit

λ = wavelength of the light

βm = angular deflection of the mth dark band.

a) In order to get the angular deflection of the first dark band for a slit with 0.02mm width, substitute w = 0.02mm = 0.02*10^-3 , m = 1 , λ= 630*10^-9

0.02*10^-3 sin(β1) = 1 * 630*10^-9

Sin(β1) = 630 * 10^-9 / 0.02*10^-3

Sin(β1) = 0.0315

β1 = Sin^-1(0.0315)

= 1.8°

b) substitute w = 0.2mm = 0.2*10^-3 , m = 1 , λ= 630*10^-9

0.2*10^-3 sin(β1) = 1 * 630*10^-9

Sin(β1) = 630 * 10^-9 / 0.2*10^-3

Sin(β1) = 0.00315

β1 = Sin^-1(0.00315)

= 0.18°

c) substitute w = 2mm = 2*10^-3 , m = 1 , λ= 630*10^-9

2*10^-3 sin(β1) = 1 * 630*10^-9

Sin(β1) = 630 * 10^-9 / 2*10^-3

Sin(β1) = 3.15*10^-4

β1 = Sin^-1(3.15*10^-4)

= 0.018°

Temka [501]
Similar elements with similar properties were in the same groups and periods for instance lithium(Li) and sodium(Na) are alkaline metals and so belong to the same group (that is group 1).Also Hydrogen(H) and Helium(He) both have only one shell or energy level and so belong to the same period.

In general, if the temperature of a chemical reaction is increased, the reaction rateA. IncreasesB. decreasesC. remains the same
In-s [12.5K]
A. Increases

I would assume this to be the answer because heat is another form of energy. If there is more energy the molecules will become more active. This makes A the most logical answer.
