Answer:

2.8 cm

Explanation:

y_1 = Separation between two first order diffraction minima = 1.4 cm

D = Distance of screen = 1.2 m

m = Order

Fringe width is given by

\beta_1=\dfrac{y_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=\dfrac{1.4}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=0.7\ cm

Fringe width is also given by

\beta_1=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}

For second order

\beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1

Distance between two second order minima is given by

y_2=2\beta_2

\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.7\\\Rightarrow y_2=2.8\ cm

The distance between the two second order minima is 2.8 cm

Ejercicio 1: Un cuerpo gira en un círculo de 8cm de diámetro con una rapidez constante
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Exercise 1;

The centripetal acceleration is approximately 94.52 m/s²

Explanation:

1) The given parameters are;

The diameter of the circle = 8 cm = 0.08 m

The radius of the circle = Diameter/2 = 0.08/2 = 0.04 m

The speed of motion = 7 km/h = 1.944444 m/s

The centripetal acceleration = v²/r = 1.944444²/0.04 ≈ 94.52 m/s²

The centripetal acceleration ≈ 94.52 m/s²

At each corner of a square of side l there are point charges of magnitude Q, 2Q, 3Q, and 4Q.What is the magnitude and direction
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

magnitude of force on charge 2Q  = \frac{KQ^{2} }{I^{2} }

Direction of force on charge = 61 ⁰

Explanation:

The magnitude on the force on the charge can be evaluated by finding the net force acting on the charge 2Q  i.e x-component of the net force and the y-component of the net force

║F║ = \sqrt{f_{x}^{2} + f_{y}^{2}    }  =  after considering the forces coming from Q, 3Q and 4Q AND APPLYING COULOMBS LAW

magnitude of force acting on 2Q = \frac{KQ^{2} }{I^{2} }

The direction of the force on charge 2Q is calculated as

tan ∅ = \frac{f_{y} }{f_{x} } = 1.8284

therefore ∅ = tan^{-1}  1.8284

= 61⁰

What is the speed of a wave in (m/s) with a 5 meter wavelength and a period of 20 seconds?
arlik [135]

Answer: 0.25 m/s

Explanation:  Speed = wavelengt · frequency  

v = λf   and frequency is 1/period  f = 1/T

Then v = λ/T = 5 m / 20 s = 0.25 m/s

Novay_Z [31]

There’s a first “clump”/drum beat every half second. That clump will travel about 170m in half a second. Someone 170m away would do their “clump” as the second “clump” was taking place. I think. <span> </span>
