Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o

n a screen that is 2.40 m from the grating. Part A In the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.92 mm . What is the difference between these wavelengths? Express your answer in meters.

Answer:

13.51 nm

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we are going to use angle approximation that sin θ ≈ tan θ ≈ θ where our θ is in radians

y/L=tan θ ≈ θ

and ∆θ ≈∆y/L

Where ∆y= wavelength distance= 2.92 mm =0.00292m

L=screen distance= 2.40 m

=0.00292m/2.40m

=0.001217 rad

The grating spacing is d = (90000 lines/m)^−1

=1.11 × 10−5 m.

the small-angle

approx. Using difraction formula with m = 1 gives:

mλ = d sin θ ≈ dθ →

∆λ ≈ d∆θ = =1.11 × 10^-5 m×0.001217 rad

=0.000000001351m

= 13.51 nm

What is the connection between angle of incidence and angle of reflection
Radda [10]

Answer:

The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection.

Calculate the Poynting vector at the surface of the filament, associated with the static electric field producing the current an
Vesnalui [34]

We anticipate a constant Poynting vector of magnitude since the hot resistor will be emitting heat and none of the electric or magnetic fields will change over time.

S = P/A

  = I2R/ 2πrL

 = 332 kW/m2

Always pointing away from the wire, this Poynting vector.

<h3>What is the Poynting vector?</h3>

Describes the size and direction of the energy flow in electromagnetic waves using a Poynting vector. It bears the name of the 1884 invention of English physicist John Henry Poynting. It stands for the electromagnetic field's directional energy flux or power flow. The Poynting vector is significant in a static electromagnetic field because it determines the direction of energy flow in an electromagnetic field. This vector represents the radiation pressure of an electromagnetic wave and points in its direction of propagation.

A cyclist is travelling eastwards at a velocity
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

0.02 m/s^2

Explanation:

change in velocity= 4.5m/s - 2.3m/s = 2.2 m/s

acceleration= change in velocity/change in time

acceleration= 2.2/120= 0.0183

= 0.02 (to 2 significant figures)
