What is an Amplitude

DescriptionThe amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change in a single period. There are various definitions of amplitude, which are all functions of the magnitude of the differences between the variable's extreme values. In older texts the phase is sometimes called the amplitude.

Amplitude is a measurement of the magnitude of displacement (or maximum disturbance) of a medium from its resting state, as diagramed in the peak deviation example below (it can also be a measurement of an electrical signal's increased or decreased strength above or below a nominal state).

What is the maximum number of lines per centimeter a diffraction grating can have and produce a complete first-order spectrum fo

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

1315789.47368 lines/m

Explanation:

m = Order = 1

$sin\theta$ = 1 For maximum condition

$\lambda$ = Wavelength = 760 nm maximum

From Rayleigh criteria we have the expression for the gap

$d=\dfrac{m\lambda}{sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{1\times 760}{1}\\\Rightarrow d=760\ nm$

The number of lines is the reciprocal of the slit distance

$n=\dfrac{1}{d}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{1}{760\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow n=1315789.47368\ /m$

The number of lines is 1315789.47368 per meter

Physics how to calculate disintegration energy

dimulka [17.4K]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data (a) Calculate the disintegration energy when 232/92U decays by alpha emission into 228/90Th. Atomic masses of 232/92U and 228/90Th are 232.037156u and 228.028741u, respectively. (b) For the 232/92U decay in part (a), how much of the disintegration energy will be carried off by the alpha particle? Given: Mass of 4/2He = 4.002603u c^2 = 931.5MeV

2. Relevant equations E=mc^2

3. The attempt at a solution Well for part (a), first I found the difference in the starting masses and the end masses ie, 232.037156u - (228.028741u + 4.002603u) = 0.005812u I then put this into the equation and got 5.413878MeV. I thought this was right until I read part (b) and now I'm starting to think this might be how I'm meant to do that part, not part (a). Could anyone tell me if I'm even on the right track with this question or should I be using different equations?
