A Michelson interferometer uses red light with a wavelength of 656.45 nm from a hydrogen discharge lamp. Part A How many bright-
kati45 [8]

Answer:

51793 bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed when the mirror M2 moves through 1.7cm

Explanation:

The number of maxima appearing when the mirror M moves through distance \Delta L is given as follows,

\Delta m = \frac{\Delta L}{\frac{\lambda}{2}}

Here,

\Delta L= is the distance moved by the mirror M

\lambda is the wavelenght of the light used.

\Delta L= 0.017m

\lambda = 656.45*10^{-9}m

\Delta m = \frac{0.017}{\frac{656.45*10^{-9}}{2}}

\Delta m = 51793.72

Therefore, 51793 bright-dark-bright fringe shifts are observed when the mirror M2 moves through 1.7

1.A student attaches a string to a puck on a frictionless air table, and pulls with a constant force on the puck. a. Draw the fo
Mrrafil [7]

a)

for the puck :

F = force applied in the direction of pull

N = normal force on the puck in upward direction by the surface of table

W = weight of the puck in down direction due to force of gravity


b)

along the vertical direction , normal force balance the weight of the puck , hence the net force is same as the force of pull F .

so  F = ma                                    where m = mass of puck  , a = acceleration

Fnet = F


c)

since the net force acts in the direction of force of pull F , hence the puck accelerates in the same direction .
