Blue light from a tunable laser is shined on a pair of closely space slits. If the laser light is changed to red light on the sa

Answer:

<em>The fringe spacing on a distant diffraction screen will increase.</em>

Explanation:

Blue light has a shorter wavelength than red light, so, changing from blue to red light is basically increasing the wavelength of the light involved in the experiment.

In the double slit experiment, the fringe spacing on a diffraction screen is calculated from the equation below

ω = zλ/d

where ω is the fringe spacing

z is the distance of the slit to the screen

λ is the wavelength of the light used

d is separation or distance between the slits

From the equation, one can see that if other parameters are held constant, <em>increasing the wavelength will lead to an increase in the spacing between the fringes, and hence, changing the light from blue to red light will increase the fringe spacing.</em>

create a formula giving the strength of the induced field (B) i terms of current (I) and the distance from the wire to the probe
iren [92.7K]
So we need to find the formula for magnetic field B using the current (I) and the distance from the probe (d). So, We know that the stronger the current I, the stronger the magnetic field B. That tells us that the I and B are proportional. Also we know that the strength of the magnetic field B is weaker as the distance d of the probe increases. That tells us that B and d are inversely proportional. So our formula should have B=(I/d)*c where c is a constant of proportionality. c=μ₀/2π where μ₀ is the permeability of free space. So finally our formula is B=(μ₀I)/(2πd).

What does frequency describe?
ddd [48]

The whole definition of frequency is:  <em>How often something happens.  </em>

Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.

One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.

"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent".  That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.

Some other examples:

Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .

Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .

Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.

(If it's something <u><em>per second</em></u>, then we call it "Hertz".  That's not for the car rental company.  It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist.  He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)

Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.

Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day

Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .

Each of the following would cause an increase in blood pressure except __________.
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

an inhibitor of angiotensin II

Explanation:

Angiotensin, specifically angiotensin II binds to many receptors in the body to affect several systems. It can normally increase blood pressure by constricting the blood vessels but with the introduction of an inhibitor, it wouldn't bring about an increase in blood pressure.
