The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove

reflects circular waves that look exactly like the circular waves transmitted by the slits in a grating. You shine a green laser pointer (λ = 532 nm) perpendicularly to the surface of a CD and observe a diffraction pattern on a screen that is 3.0 m away from the CD. You observe that the 1st order maximum (m = 1) appears 1.1 m away from the central maximum (m = 1).
Determine the distance between the adjacent grooves on a CD.

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, \lambda = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

A_{m} = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}

sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m

Alexeev081 [22]

Note: if the professor wants the distance between the m = 0 and m = 1 maxima to be 25 cm

Answer:

d = 1.0128×10⁻⁵m

Explanation:

given:

length L = 4.0m

maximum distance between m = 0 and m = 1 , y = 25cm = 0.25m

wavelength λ = 633nm = 633×10⁻⁹m

note:

dsinθ = mλ (constructive interference)

where d is slit seperation, θ is angle of seperation , m is order of interference , and λ is wavelength

for small angle

sinθ ≈ tanθ

d (\frac{y}{L})  = mλ

d (\frac{y}{L}) = (1)(633nm)

d(\frac{0.25}{4} ) = (1)(633nm)

d = 1.0128×10⁻⁵m

All of the following are factors affecting flow rate except what?
faust18 [17]

Answer:

c. Vessel side holes

Explanation:

  • The "Poiseuille formula" which is given by \\\begin{aligned} \small Q& =  \small \frac{\pi r^4}{8 \eta}.\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta L}\\\end{aligned} describes the volumetric flow rate (\small Q) through tubular sections.
  • Here, \Delta P,\,\, \Delta L,\,\, r,\,\, \eta represent the injection pressure difference, the length of the section, the radius of the section and the viscosity index of the fluid that flows through the section respectively.
  • With this, one can confirm that all the factors except the vessel side holes affect the flow rate.
  • Side holes, however, are a factor that could give a measure of how much volume would flow to a particular location. In such a situation the flow rate remains unchanged and one location would receive a lower volume (not the whole) as some volume would spill out at the side holes.
