Answer:

= 6.55cm

Explanation:

Given that,

distance = 1.26 m

distance between  two fourth-order maxima = 53.6 cm

distance between central bright fringe and fourth order maxima

y = Y / 2

  =  53.6cm / 2

  = 26.8 cm

  =0.268 m

tan θ = y / d

         = 0.268 m /  1.26 m

         = 0.2127

       θ = 12°

4th maxima

d sinθ = 4λ

d / λ = 4 / sinθ

d / λ = 4 / sin 12°

d / λ = 19.239

for first (minimum)

d sinθ = λ / 2

sinθ =  λ / 2d

       =  1 / 2(19.239)

       = 1 / 38.478

       = 0.02599

    θ =  1.489°

tan θ = y / d

y = d tan θ

  = 1.26 tan 1.489°

  = 0.03275

the total width of the central bright fringe  

Y = 2y

  = 2(0.03275)

  = 0.0655m

  = 6.55cm

Two marbles (m = 0.050 kg each) moving on a table TOWARDS each other with the speed of 0.3 m/s collide, and start moving away fr
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

V1 = ____0.3______ m/s, V2 = ____-0.3______ m/s,

p1 = ____0.015______ kg m/s, p2 = ___-0.015_______ kg m/s,

ptotal = _0___________ kg m/s

Explanation:

Taking the marble ball that moves from right to left as Marble 1 and the one that moves from left to right as Marble 2. We take direction from left to right as negative and from right to left as positive. Therefore, velocity of marble 1 will be +0.3 m/s while velocity of marble 2 will be -0.3 m/s. The mass of marble 1, m2 0.05 Kg and same to marble 2, m2=0.05 Kg

Momentum is product of mass and velocity hence using p to represent momentum

P1=0.05*0.3=0.015 Kg m/s

P2=0.05*-0.3=-0.015 Kg m/s

V1=0.3 m/s, V2=-0.3 m/s

The total momentum before collision will be the sum of P1 and P2 hence 0.015 Kg m/s+-0.015 Kg m/s=0

Ptotal=0 Kg m/s
