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

The space shuttle travels at a speed of about 7.6times10^3 m/s. The blink of an astronaut's eye lasts about 110 ms. How many foo
sveta [45]

Answer:

It covers distance of 9.15 football fields in the said time.

Explanation:

We know that

Distance=Speed\times Time

Thus distance covered in blinking of eye =

Distance=7.6\times 10^{3}m/s\times 110\times 10^{-3}s\\\\Distance=836 meters

Thus no of football fields=\frac{936}{91.4}=9.15Fields

A projectile is launched horizontally from a height of 8.0 m. The projectile travels 6.5 m before hitting the ground.
Effectus [21]
Time it takes the projectile to hit the ground after being thrown up:

√h/1/2a

√8/(.5)(9.81)

√8/4.905

√1.630988787

= 1.277101714

= 1. 28

hope this helps :)

Explain why ionic compounds are neutral even though they are made up of charged particles
Lelechka [254]
Ionic compounds are made up of two charged species, a cation (+) and an anion (–).

The charges must balance out to zero for a stable ionic compound, because ionic bonds are formed between two charged species. They form in ratios according to their charges to balance out.

A 1200-kg car initially at rest undergoes constant acceleration for 8.8 s, reaching a speed of 10 m/ s. It then collides with a
atroni [7]

Answer:

The final kinetic energy of the two-car system is 60,000 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m = 1200 kg

time of motion, t = 8.8 s

final velocity of the car, v = 10 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of kinetic energy; the initial kinetic energy is equal final kinetic energy.

K.E_i = K.E_f\\\\K.E_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K.E_f =  \frac{1}{2}(1200)(10)^2\\\\K.E_f = 60,000 \ J

Therefore, the final kinetic energy of the two-car system is 60,000 J.
