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

Why does ice reflect more energy compared to water?
Stells [14]

Answer:

while ice is made by water again it melts and becomes water. water is colourless and odourless and has no taste but ice is only cold and hard. water is used for drinking and other things. but is for freshness and it never flows

Explanation:

so ice reflect more energy compared to water

When the liquid line is restricted, the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced. What is the effect on suction p
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The suction pressure decreases and the superheat increases when the liquid line is restricted and the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced.

Explanation:

1. The five components of refrigeration are:

  • Fluid refrigerant
  • Compressor
  • Condenser coil
  • Evaporator coil
  • Expansion device.

       The compressor limits the vapor released by the refrigerant. This            

       causes a rise in pressure (in refrigerant), which then pushes the  

       vapor into the coils on the outside of the refrigerator.

2. Now when the cooler air meets the warm gas present in the coils, it

   gets converted into liquid form.

3. Thus, when the liquid form is at high pressure, the refrigerant then  

   cools down as it flows through the coils placed in the fridge ( in both

   freezing and normal sections).

4. The refrigerant also absorbs the warm air present in the fridge, which  

   causes it to evaporate and flow back through the compressor and the

   cycle repeats in the same form.

Thus, when the liquid line is restricted and the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced it causes a decrease in suction pressure and an increase in superheat.
