Monochromatic light of wavelength 580 nm passes through a single slit and the diffraction pattern is observed on a screen. Both

the source and screen are far enough from the slit for Fraunhofer diffraction to apply.
a) If the first diffraction minima are at ±90.0∘, so the central maximum completely fills the screen, what is the width of the slit?

b) For the width of the slit as calculated in part (a), what is the ratio of the intensity at θ=45.0∘ to the intensity at θ=0?

Answer:

Part a)

Width of the slit is

a = 580 nm

Part b)

Ratio of intensity is given as

\frac{I}{I_o} = 0.81

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know by the formula of diffraction we will have

a sin\theta = \lambda

so we have

\theta = 90

\lambda = 580 nm

so we will have

a sin90 = 580 nm

a = 580 nm

Part b)

As we know that the intensity in diffraction pattern is given as

I = I_o (\frac{sin\theta}{\theta})^2

\frac{I}{I_o} = (\frac{sin\theta}{\theta})^2

so for angle 45 degree

\frac{I}{I_o} = (\frac{sin45}{\pi/4})^2

\frac{I}{I_o} = (\frac{sin45}{\pi/4})^2

\frac{I}{I_o} = 0.81

Answer:

The correct wording is

  1. Pressure increases with the depth of the fluid.
  2. A plane's engines produce thrust to push the plane forward.
  3. A fluid can be a liquid or a gas.
  4. A hydraulic device uses Pascal's principle to lift or move objects.
  5. lift is the upward force exerted on objects by fluids.

Explanation:

1. As you go deeper into a fluid,<em> there is more of it on top of you; </em>therefore, the pressure excreted on you is greater.

2. A plane's engines pushes the air in opposite direction, which according to newton's third law, produces necessary force to move the plane forward.

3.  <em>A fluid has no fixed shape,</em> and it deforms under the influence of external forces applied—liquid and gases fit into this definition.

4. Pascal's principle <em>says that pressure applied on one region of the fluid must equal pressure transmitted to another region of the same fluid</em>. This principle is used in a hydraulic device to exert forces on fluids to lift objects that would otherwise be difficult to move.

5. By definition, the upward force exerted by the fluids on objects is the lift.

Why do objects not cool to absolute zero by emitting all their thermal energy
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Because the object should shrink its volume to zero, which is impossible

Explanation:

Let's talk about gases for simplicity. Ideal gases are governed by the ideal gas equation:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

From the formula, we see that T and V are directly proportional: therefore, in order for a gas to have an absolute temperature of zero, it must also have a volume of zero, which is impossible.
