Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.360 mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed

on a screen 3.75 m away. Define the width of a bright fringe as the distance between the minima on either side.
(a) What is the width of the central bright fringe?(b) What is the width of the first bright fringe on either side of the central one?

Answer:

a) 0.0130 m

b') w' = =6.46*10^{-3] m

Explanation:

given data:

\lambda of light = 633 nm

width of siit a =0.360 mm

distance from screen = 3.75 m

a) the first minima is located at

$sin\theta = \frac{\lambda}{a}$

= $= \frac{633 *10^{-9}}{.360*10^{-3}}$

$\theta = 0.100$

$y_1 = dtan\theta_1 = 3.75*tan(0.100) = 6.54 *10^{-3} m$

with of central fringe = 2y_1 = 2*6.54 *10^{-3} = 0.0130 m

b)

width of the first bright fringe on either side of the central one = $w' = y_2 -y_1$

calculation for y_2

$sin\theta = 2\frac{\lambda}{a}$

= $= 2*\frac{633 *10^{-9}}{.360*10^{-3}}$

$\theta = 2*0.100 = 0.200$

$y_2 = dtan\theta_1 = 3.75*tan(0.200) =0.0130 m$

$w' = 0.0130 -6.54 *10^{-3}$

w' = =6.46*10^{-3] m

An emf of 28.0 mV is induced in a 501 turn coil when the current is changing at a rate of 12.0 A/s. What is the magnetic flux th

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Wb

Explanation:

The inductance of a coil is given as

L = e/(di/dt) ..................... Equation 1

Where L = inductance of the coil, e = induced e.m.f, di/dt = rate of change of current in the coil.

Also,

The inductance of each turn of the coil when a magnetic field is step up in the coil is

L = NΦ/i ................. Equation 2

Where N = number of turns, Φ = magnetic field, i = current.

equating equation 1 and equation 2

e/(di/dt) = NΦ/i

making Φ the subject of the equation,

Φ = (e×i)/N.(di/dt) .................. Equation 3

Given: e = 28.0 mV = 0.028 V, N = 501 turns, di/dt = 12.0 A/s, i = 4.00 a

Substitute into equation 3,

Φ = (0.028×4)/(12×501)

Φ = 0.112/2004

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Weber

Φ = 5.589×10⁻⁵ Wb

How does solubility change with temperature changes?

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Solubility increases with temperature.

Explanation:

-Increasing temperatures, increases the kinetic energy that allows solvent molecules to more effectively break apart the solute molecules.

-This solute molecules are held together by intermolecular attractions which weakens in higher temperatures.

-Solubility therefore increases with increasing temperatures.

A team exerts a force of 10 N towards the south in a tug of war. The other, opposite team, exerts a force of 17 N towards the no

ikadub [295]

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

According to the question:

Force exerted by the team towards south, F = 10 N

Force exerted by the opposite team towards North, F' = 17 N

Net Force, $\vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F}$

$\vec{F_{net}} = \vec{F'} - \vec{F} = 17 - 10 = 7 N$

Thus the force will be along the direction of force whose magnitude is higher

Therefore,

$\vec{F_{net}} = 7 N$ towards North

An object is originally moving at a constant velocity of 8 m/s in the -x direction. It moves at this constant velocity for 3 sec

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

244.64m

Explanation:

First, we find the distance traveled with constant velocity. It's simply multiplying velocity time the time that elapsed:

$x = V*t = -8\frac{m}{s} *3s = -24m$

After this, the ball will start traveling with a constant acceleration motion. Due to the fact that the acceleration is the opposite direction to the initial velocity, this motion will have 2 phases:

1. The velocity will start to decrease untill it reaches 0m/s.

2. Then, the velocity will start to increase at the rate of the acceleration.

The distance that the ball travels in the first phase can be found with the following expression:

$v^2 = v_0^2 + 2a*d$

Where v is the final velocity (0m/s), v_0 is the initial velocity (-8m/s) and a is the acceleration (+9m/s^2). We solve for d:

$d = \frac{v^2 - v_0^2}{2a} = \frac{(0m/s)^2 - (-8m/s)^2}{2*7m/s^2}= -4.57m$

Now, before finding the distance traveled in the second phase, we need to find the time that took for the velocity to reach 0:

$t_1 = \frac{v}{a} = \frac{8m/s}{7m/s^2} = 1.143 s$

Then, the time of the second phase will be:

$t_2 = 9s - t_1 = 9s - 1.143s = 7.857s$

Using this, we using the equations for constant acceleration motion in order to calculate the distance traveled in the second phase:

$x = \frac{1}{2}a*t^2 + v_0*t + x_0$

V_0, the initial velocity of the second phase, will be 0 as previously mentioned. X_0, the initial position, will be 0, for simplicity:

$x = \frac{1}{2}*7\frac{m}{s^2}*t^2 + 0m/s*t + 0m = 216.07m$

So, the total distance covered by this object in meters will be the sum of all the distances we found:

$x_total = 24m + 4.57m + 216.07m = 244.64m$

Why can concave mirror is used in cosmetic mirror

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

"When face is placed between the concave mirror and its focus, it produces a magnified image. This enlarged image of face is helpful in makeup as even pores of skin are clearly visible."
