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

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

a) charges of the opposite,  b)  Δq = q₄₂-q₄₁, force is repulsive

c) q = 5.27 10⁻⁵ C

Explanation:

a) In electrostatic studies it is found that charges of the same sign repel and charges of the opposite sign attract.

On the other hand, as the force between the spheres is attractive, the charges on them are of different sign

b) When the balls touch, the charges are quickly distributed between the two spheres, therefore there are two possibilities:

* if the charges were equal and as they are of the opposite sign, they are neutralized, therefore the spheres remain uncharged

    The force between them is zero

* if the charges are different, a residual charge remains

             Δq = q₄₂-q₄₁

that is distributed between the two spheres and the force between them is repulsive

c) For this case the charges on the two spheres is equal

          q₄₁ = q₄₂ = q

the force is repulsive so the charges are of the same sign.

We can apply Coulomb's law

          F = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

in this case

          F = k \frac{q^2}{r^2}

          q = \sqrt{ \frac{F \ r^2}{k} }

let's calculate

          q = \sqrt{ \frac{25 \ 1^2}{9 \ 10^{9}} } = \sqrt{27.7778 \ 10^{-10}}

          q = 5.27 10⁻⁵ C

makkiz [27]

Answer:

7.19 * 10^14J

Explanation:

Given that

Density of water Pwater= 1000kg/m3

R=2.1km = 2.1*10^3m

H= 2.3cm. = 2.3*10^-2m

Lv water= 2256 * 10^3J/kg

First, mass of water need to be calculated, using an imaginary cylinder

Density= Mass /Volume

Mass= Density* Volume

Volume of a cylinder= πR2h

Therefore mass= PπR2H

= 1000 * π * (2.1 *10^3)^2 * (2.3 * 10^-2)

= 3.18 *10^8

Heat Released Qv = mLV

= 3.18*10^8 * 2236*10^3

= 7.19 * 10^14J
