Suppose you are observing the interference pattern formed by a Michelson interferometer in a laboratory and a joking colleague h

olds a lit match in the light path of one arm of the interferometer. Will this have an effect on the interference pattern

Troyanec [42]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

In Michelson interferometer , two light waves from different directions are made to overlap so that fringes are formed on the screen due to interference . In it,  two monochromatic and coherent light are made to overlap which have some path difference or phase difference. They form dark and bright fringes .

Now when a match stick is lit in the path of a wave , the fringes will disappear  and an general illumination will be observed on the screen as the light from the lit match stick will not be coherent . Incoherent light can not form stable fringes.

A wave has a wavelength of 3.3 m and a speed of 5.6 m/s. What is the frequency of this wave
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: λ (wavelength) = 3.3 m →  ΔS = 3.3 m

v (speed) = 5.6 m/s → ΔV = 5.6 m/s

T (period) → ΔT = ?

f (frequency) = ?

If:

Now: (if, ΔT = T), Using the formula of the period of a wave, find the frequency:

A rugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent's goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally
Over [174]

Answer:

minimum angle is 128.69°

Explanation:

given data

player velocity with respect ground v1 = 3.5 m/s

ball velocity with respect himself v2 = 5.6 m/s

to find out

smallest angle

solution

we know ball velocity with respect field will be

ball velocity = v1  +v2

ball velocity = 3.5 + 5.6 = 9.1m/s

we consider angle that player hit ball is θ

then by as per figure triangle

cosθ = \frac{v1}{v2}

cosθ = \frac{3.5}{5.6}

θ = 51.31

so minimum angle is 180 - 51.31 = 128.69°

Two men are standing on a frictionless ice surface holding opposite ends of a rope. One man (mass = 80 kg) pulls on the rope wit
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The acceleration of man 1 and 2 is 3.125\ m/s^2 and 4.167\ m/s^2.

Explanation:

Mass of man 1, m₁ = 80 kg

Mass of man 2, m₂ = 60 kg

One man pulls on the rope with a force of 250 N.

Let a₁ is acceleration of man 1,

F = m₁a₁

a_1=\dfrac{F}{m_1}\\\\a_1=\dfrac{250}{80}\\\\a_1=3.125\ m/s^2

Let a₂ is acceleration of man 1,

F = m₂a₂

a_2=\dfrac{F}{m_2}\\\\a_2=\dfrac{250}{60}\\\\a_2=4.167\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of man 1 and 2 is 3.125\ m/s^2 and 4.167\ m/s^2.
