Increase the slit width to 1050 nm. What happens to the width of the central bright fringe? (Always remember to wait a few secon
1 answer:
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
In case of Single Slit, diffraction will occur.
Then In Single slit Diffraction, width of central fringe is
where D= distance b/w screen and slit
a= slit width
\lambda = wavelength
Thus if Screen width increases keeping other factors same then width of central fringe becomes narrower as
On increasing the slit width the central bright fringe width The width of the central bright fringe becomes narrower.

Answer:
The minimum angle at which the box starts to slip (rounded to the next whole number) is α=19°
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must start by drawing a sketch of the problem and its corresponding fre body diagram (See picture attached).
So, when we are talking about friction, there are two types of friction coefficients. Static and kinetic. Static friction happens when the box is not moving no matter what force you apply to it. You get to a certain force that is greater than the static friction and the box starts moving, it is then when the kinetic friction comes into play (kinetic friction is generally smaller than static friction). So in order to solve this problem, we must find an angle such that the static friction is the same as the force applie by gravity on the box. For it to be easier to analyze, we must incline the axis of coordinates, just as shown on the picture attached.
After doing an analysis of the free-body diagram, we can build our set of equations by using Newton's thrid law:
we can see there are only two forces in x, which are the weight on x and the static friction, so:
when solving for the static friction we get:
We know the weight is found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration of gravity, so:
W=mg
and:
we can substitute this on our sum of forces equation:
the static friction will depend on the normal force applied by the plane on the box, static friction is found by using the following equation:
so we can substitute this on our equation:
but we don't know what the normal force is, so we need to find it by doing a sum of forces in y.
In the y direction we got two forces as well, the normal force and the force due to gravity, so we get:
when solving for N we get:
When seeing the free-body diagram we can determine that:
so we can substitute that in the sum of y-forces equation, so we get:
we can go ahead and substitute this equation in the sum of forces in x equation so we get:
we can divide both sides of the equation into mg so we get:
as you may see, the angle doesn't depend on the mass of the box, only on the static coefficient of friction. When solving for we get:
when simplifying this we get that:
now we can solve for the angle so we get:
and we can substitute the given value so we get:
which yields:
α=19.29°
which rounds to:
α=19°
