Consider the interference pattern produced by two parallel slits of width a and separation d, in which d = 3a. The slits are ill

uminated by normally incident light of wavelength λ.
Required:
a. First we ignore diffraction effects due to the slit width. At what angles θ from the central maximum will the next four maxima in the two-slit interference pattern occur?
b. If the intensity at θ = 0 is I0, what is the intensity at each of the angles in part (a)?
c. Which double-slit interference maxima are missing in the pattern?

Answer:

a)   m =1  θ = sin⁻¹  λ  / d,  m = 2        θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 2d) ,   c)     m = 3

Explanation:

a) In the interference phenomenon the maxima are given by the expression

         d sin θ = m λ

the maximum for m = 1 is at the angle

          θ = sin⁻¹  λ  / d

the second maximum m = 2

          θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 2d)

the third maximum m = 3

        θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 3d)

the fourth maximum m = 4

       θ = sin⁻¹ ( λ  / 4d)

b) If we take into account the effect of diffraction, the intensity of the maximums is modulated by the envelope of the diffraction of each slit.

       I = I₀ cos² (Ф) (sin x / x)²

       Ф = π d sin θ /λ

       x = pi a sin θ /λ

where a is the width of the slits

with the values ​​of part a are introduced in the expression and we can calculate intensity of each maximum

c) The interference phenomenon gives us maximums of equal intensity and is modulated by the diffraction phenomenon that presents a minimum, when the interference reaches this minimum and is no longer present

maximum interference       d sin θ = m λ

first diffraction minimum    a sin θ = λ

we divide the two expressions

                       d / a = m

In our case

                   3a / a = m

                    m = 3

order three is no longer visible

The prop blades of an airplane spin with a linear velocity of 875 m/s and have a centripetal acceleration on the farthest edge o
storchak [24]

The radius of the prop blade of an airplane is determined as 4.25 m.

<h3>Radius of the prop blade</h3>

The radius of the prop blade of an airplane is calculated as follows;

a = v²/r

where;

  • v is the linear speed
  • r is the radius of the prop blade
  • a is the centripetal acceleration

r = v²/a

r = (875²)/(180,000)

r = 4.25 m

Thus, the radius of the prop blade of an airplane is determined as 4.25 m.

Help me pls???!!
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A. I = V / R = 12 / 252 = .048 amps

V = I * R = .048 * 252 = 12 V

V is also the reading the voltage across the battery (12 Volts)

How does the surface tension of water compared with the surface tension of most other liquids?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
Surface tension is the direct measure of the cohesive forces between liquid molecules that allows them to form "film", making it more difficult to move an object through the liquid surface. Compared to other known liqiuds, the surface tension of water is much greater.
