A slit 0.240mm wide is illuminated by parallel light rays with a wavelength 600nm . The diffraction pattern is observed on a scr

een that is 3.50m from the slit. The intensity at the center of the central maximum (theta = 0) is 4.10�10?6 W/m^2. What is the distance on the screen from the center of the central maximum to the first minimum? What is the intensity at a point on the screen midway between the center of the central maximum and the first minimum?Expert Answer

To solve this exercise, it is necessary to apply the concepts on the principle of superposition, specifically on constructive interference,

Constructive interference (light spot) is defined by

dsin\theta=m\lambda

Where,

m = The integer m is called the interference order and is the number of wavelengths by which the two paths differ.

\lambda = wavelenght

d = Distance

For smaller angles sin\theta = tan\theta,

d tan\theta = m \lambda

From the trigonometric properties it is understood that so the is - in this case - the length measured vertically by reason of distance, that is

d*\frac{y}{L} = m\lambda

Re-arrange to find y,

y = \frac{m\lambda L}{d}

Replacing our values

y  = \frac{(1)(600*10^{-9}(3.5m)}{0.240*10^{-3}m}

y = 8.75*10^{-3}m

y = 8.75mm

PART B) To calculate the intensity it is necessary to find the angle between the previously calculated height and distance in order to calculate the phase angle, in other words,

tan\theta' = \frac{y}{L}

tan\theta' = \frac{1/2(8.75*10^{-3})}{3.5}

\tetha = 0.07161\°

Therefore phase angle is

\gamma = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}sin\theta'

\gamma = \pi

The intensity formula would then be given by,

I = I_0 \frac{sin\frac{\gamma}{2}^2}{\frac{\gamma}{2}}

I = 4.1*10^{-6}(\frac{4}{\pi})

I = 1.66*10^{-6}W/m^2

What is the frequency of a microwave with a wavelength of 3.52 mm?
AlekseyPX

As per the question the wavelength of the microwave is given as 3.52 mm.

we are asked to calculate the frequency of the wave.

we know that microwave is a electromagnetic wave.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory ,every electromagnetic wave moves with a velocity equal to the velocity of light in vacuum and that is equal to 3×10^8 m/s.

From the equation of the wave,we know that velocity of wave is the product of frequency and wavelength.

Mathematically   wave velocity v=f*\lambda   where f is the frequency of the wave and \lambda is the wavelength.

As per the question \lambda=3.52 mm

                                               = 3.52*10^{-3} m

                       Here  v=c=3*10^{8} m/s

Hence frequency of the wave f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

                                                       =\frac{3*10^{8} }{3.52*10^{-3} } s^{-1}

                                                        =0.852272727272*10^{11} Hz

Here Hertz [Hz] is the unit of frequency.

Radio waves travel 300,000,000 m/s. The frequency is 101,700,000. ehats the wavelength​
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

we have formula of frequency :

frequency(f)= speed of sound(c)/wavelength(λ)

for wavelength we swipe it with frequency as follows

λ=c/f

λ=300,000,000/101,700,000

λ=2.949

what is the main reason that attitudes are more often revealed in spoken rather than written language
pishuonlain [190]
It's a combination of all those things. probably because we are taught from an early age to write in an academic fashion, giving balanced arguments and a conclusion. When speaking from the heart, there is no opposing argument nor is there a conclusion, just emotion.
