A laser beam of unknown wavelength passes through adiffraction grating having 5510 lines/cm after striking itperpendicularly. Ta

king measurements, you find that the first pairof bright spots away from the central maximum occurs at±15.4° with respect to the original beam direction. (a) What is the wavelength of thelight? (b) at what angle will the next pair ofbright spots occur?

Answer:

Explanation:

distance between two slit d = $\frac{1 \times 10^{-2}}{5510}$

d = 18.15 x 10⁻⁷ m

Let wave length of light λ

formula for position of first pair of bright spot

Tanθ = λ / d , λ is wave length of light and d is distance between two slit .

Tan 15.4 = $\frac{\lambda}{18.15\times10^{-7}}$

λ = Tan 15.4 x 18.15 x 10⁻⁷

=5 x 10⁻⁷ m

If θ be the position of next bright spot

Tanθ = 2 λ / d

= $\frac{2 \times\ 5\times\ 10^ {-7}}{18.15\times10^{-7}}$

= $\frac{2\times5}{18.5}$

θ = 28.4 degree .

a swimmer can swim in still water at a speed of 9.50 m/s. he intends to swim directly across the river that has a downstream cur

Doss [256]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Still-water speed = 9.5 m/s
River speed = 3.75 m/s down stream.

The velocity of the swimmer relative to the bank is the vector sum of his still-water speed and the speed of the river.

The velocity relative to the bank is
V = √(9.5² + 3.75²) = 10.21 m/s

The downstream angle is
θ = tan⁻¹ 3.75/9.5 = 21.5°

Answer: 10.2 m/s at 21.5° downstream.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

$z= 2.5 \ m$

b

$z = (1 \ m , 4 \ m )$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Their distance apart is $d = 5.00 \ m$

The wavelength of each source wave $\lambda = 6.0 \ m$

Let the distance from source A where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

$z - (d-z) = m \lambda$

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m = 0

so

$z - (5-z) = 0$

=> $2 z - 5 = 0$

=> $z= 2.5 \ m$

Generally the path difference for destructive interference is

$|z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

=> $|2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

=> $|2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}$

substituting values

$|2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}$

=> $z = \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}$

So

$z = \frac{5 + 3}{2}$

$z = 4\ m$

and

$z = \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}$

=> $z = 1 \ m$

=> $z = (1 \ m , 4 \ m )$
