In an experiment conducted using the Young's double-slit apparatus, the separation between the slits is 20 µm. A first-order con

structive interference fringe appears at an angle of 2.5o from the zeroth order (central) fringe.
A. What wavelength of light is used in the experiment?
B. At what angle would the fourth-order (m = 4) bright fringe appear?
C. At what angle would the fourth-order (m=4) dark fringe appear?

To solve this problem, we use the formula
λ = s sin θ
where s is the separation and θ is the angle interference
So,
λ = 20 x 10^-6 sin 2.5
λ = 8.72 x 10^-7 m

The required angle for the fourth order bright fringe is
θb = sin⁻¹ (4λ / s) = sin⁻¹ (4 (8.72 x 10^-7 m)/ 20 x 10^-6 ) = 10.04°

The required angle for the fourth order dark fringe is
θd = sin⁻¹ (4.5 λ / s) = sin⁻¹ (4.5 (8.72 x 10^-7 m)/ 20 x 10^-6 ) = 11.31°

Gala2k [10]

Distance covered by the squirrel to look for an acorn :

d = ( 3 m/s ) × 10 s = 30 m.

Time taken to eat an Acron is 5 seconds.

Time taken to cover distance of 30 m with 2 m/s speed is :

T=\dfrac{30}{2}\ s= 15 \ s

Therefore, total time take to  get back to where he started is ( 10+5+15 ) = 30 s.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

4.14 m/s

Explanation:

m¹u¹+m²u²=(m¹+m²)v

5(5)+2(2)=(5+2)v

25+4=7v

29=7v

29/7=v

v=4.14 m/s
