An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 590 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s

lits separated by a distance (between centers) of 0.580 mm .
Required:

a. If the slits are very narrow, what would be the angular position of the first-order, two-slit, interference maxima?

b. What would be the angular position of the second-order, two-slit, interference maxima in this case?

Answer:

a. 0.058°

b.  0.117°

Explanation:

a. The angular position of the first-order is:

d*sin(\theta) = m\lambda

\theta = arcsin(\frac{m \lambda}{d}) = arcsin(\frac{1* 590 \cdot 10^{-9} m}{0.580 \cdot 10^{-3} m}) = 0.058 ^{\circ}

Hence, the angular position of the first-order, two-slit, interference maxima is 0.058°.

b. The angular position of the second-order is:

\theta = arcsin(\frac{m \lambda}{d}) = arcsin(\frac{2* 590 \cdot 10^{-9} m}{0.580 \cdot 10^{-3} m}) = 0.12 ^{\circ}

Therefore, the angular position of the second-order, two-slit, interference maxima is 0.117°.

I hope it helps you!

A car accelerates uniformly in a straight line
julia-pushkina [17]

The car travels a distance <em>d</em> from rest with acceleration <em>a</em> after time <em>t</em> of

<em>d</em> = 1/2 <em>a</em> <em>t</em>²

It covers 69 m with 2.8 m/s² acceleration, so that

69 m = 1/2 (2.8 m/s²) <em>t</em>²

<em>t</em>² = 2 (69 m) / (2.8 m/s²)

<em>t</em> ≈ 7.02 s

where we take the positive square root because we're talking about time *after* the car begins accelerating.

A. Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with
zzz [600]

(a) 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

(b) 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

Answer:

Explanation:

(a). 1 MHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

(b)  0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Frequency is the measure of number of times a same thing will be repeated in a given time interval for a given time. And wavelength is the measure of distance between two successive crests or troughs. So wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. And velocity of light is the proportionality constant.

So frequency of microwave radiation = Speed of light/Wavelength of radiation

Frequency = \frac{3*10^{8} }{3*10^{-2} }

Frequency = 10^{8+2} = 10^{10}=10 GHz

So 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

b). As microwave is a part of light waves, so it will be experiencing the speed of light.

As the speed is 3*10^{8} m/s and the distance between the two mountains is given as 50 km, then time can be calculated as

Time = Distance/Velocity

Time = \frac{50*10^{3} m}{3*10^{8} }=16.67*10^{3-8}=16.67*10^{-5}

So time = 0.167 ms.

Thus, 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.
