Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.320 mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

W = 10.28\ mm

Explanation:

Given,

Red light wavelength = 633 nm

width of slit = 0.320 mm

distance,d = 2.60 m

Condition of first maximum

a sin \theta_1 = m\lambda

\theta_1 =sin^{-1}(\dfrac{m\lambda}{a})

m = 1

\theta_1 =sin^{-1}(\dfrac{633\times 10^{-9}}{0.32\times 10^{-3}})

\theta_1 = 0.1133^\circ

Width of the first minima

y_1 = L tan \theta_1

y_1 = 2.60\times tan( 0.11331)

y_1 = 5.14 \ mm

Now, width of the central region

W = 2 y_1

W = 2\times 5.14

W = 10.28\ mm

How stars are twinkling in the sky?
vitfil [10]

Answer:

As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it. Since the hot and cold layers of air keep moving, the bending of the light changes too, which causes the star's appearance to wobble or twinkle.

A supertrain with a proper length of 100 m travels at a speed of 0.950c as it passes through a tunnel having a proper length of
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

19m

Explanation:

we have proper length L = 100m

the speed of the train v = 0.95

the speed of light is given as = 3x10⁸

length of the tunnel is given as = 50 meters

we can solve for the lenght contraction as

LX√1-v²/c²

= 100 * √1-(0.95*3x10⁸)²/(3x10⁸ )

= 31.22 metres

the train would be well seen at

50 - 31.22

= 18.78

= this is approximately 19 metres

we conclude tht the trains ends clears the ends of the tunnel by 19 meters.

thank you!

An engine converts 95% of its energy to mechanical. What happens to the other 5% of its energy?
Elza [17]

Answer:

Here, 5% of energy wasted as a heat lost or work done against frictional forces.

Explanation:

No engine has yet made that can convert its all input energy into mechanical energy. Some of the input energy goes in vain in the form of heat and friction.

Use Poiseuille's Law to calculate the rate of flow in a small human artery where we can take η = 0.028, R = 0.008 cm, l = 2 cm,
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1.435 x 10^-4 cm^3/s

Explanation:

coefficient of viscosity, η = 0.028 poise

Radius, R = 0.008 cm

length, l = 2 cm

Pressure, P = 5000 dyne/cm^2

The Poiseuille's formula is given below

V=\frac{\pi PR^{4}}{8\eta l}

Where, V is the rate of flow, that means volume flowing per second

V=\frac{3.14\times5000 \times {0.008}^{4}}{8 \times 0.028 \times 2}

V = 1.435 x 10^-4 cm^3/s

Thus, the rate of flow is 1.435 x 10^-4 cm^3/s.
