Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use what is called geometric mean to solve this.

The hypotenuse of this triangle is split into two sections. One section corresponds to/equal to the altitude which is our "X", which corresponds to/equal to the second section.

You find "X" by using geometric mean and the proportion:

16/X=X/9

Then cross multiply to get 16 x 9= 144

then 144=x²

Solve for X.

X=12

The intensity of light with wavelength λ traveling through a diffraction grating with N slits at an angle θ is given by I(θ) = N

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

0.007502795

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

N = 10,000

$\bf d=10^{-4}$

$\bf \lambda = 632.8*10^{-9}$

Replacing these values in the expression for k:

$\bf k=\frac{\pi Ndsin\theta}{\lambda}=\frac{\pi10^4*10^{-4}sin\theta}{632.8*10^{-9}}=\frac{\pi 10^9sin\theta}{632.8}$

So, the intensity is given by the function

$\bf I(\theta)=\frac{N^2sin^2(k)}{k^2}=\frac{10^8sin^2(\frac{\pi 10^9sin\theta}{632.8})}{(\frac{\pi 10^9sin\theta}{632.8})^2}$

The total light intensity is then

$\bf \int_{-10^{-6}}^{10^{-6}} I(\theta)d\theta=\int_{-10^{-6}}^{10{-6}}\frac{10^8sin^2(\frac{\pi 10^9sin\theta}{632.8})}{(\frac{\pi 10^9sin\theta}{632.8})^2}d\theta$

Since $\bf I(\theta)$ is an even function

$\bf \int_{-10^{-6}}^{10^{-6}} I(\theta)d\theta=2\int_{0}^{10^{-6}}I(\theta)d\theta$

and we only have to divide the interval $\bf [0,10^{-6}]$ in five equal sub-intervals $\bf I_1,I_2,I_3,I_4,I_5$ with midpoints $\bf m_1,m_2,m_3,m_4,m_5$

The sub-intervals and their midpoints are

$\bf I_1=[0,\frac{10^{-6}}{5}]\;,m_1=10^{-5}\\I_2=[\frac{10^{-6}}{5},2\frac{10^{-6}}{5}]\;,m_2=3*10^{-5}\\I_3=[2\frac{10^{-6}}{5},3\frac{10^{-6}}{5}]\;,m_3=5*10^{-5}\\I_4=[3\frac{10^{-6}}{5},4\frac{10^{-6}}{5}]\;,m_4=7*10^{-5}\\I_5=[4\frac{10^{-6}}{5},10^{-6}]\;,m_5=9*10^{-5}$
