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!

In an atomic clock there are approximately 9.193 × 109oscillations of the specified light emitted by cesium-133 atoms. The text

Aleks [24]

Explanation:

6000 years = 6000 x 365 x 24 x 60 x 60

= 1.892 x 10¹¹ second

gain is 1 second

1 second is equivalent to 9.193 × 10⁹ oscillations .

In 1.892 x 10¹¹ second , change in oscillation is 9.193 × 10⁹ oscillation

in one second change in oscillation = (9.193 / 1.892 ) x 10⁹⁻¹¹

= 4.859 x 10⁻² oscillations .

Amazon rectangular bar of low carbon steel A-36 is exposed to an axial strees of 150 MPa. What is the original length of the bar

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

1.8m

Explanation:

Let the Elastics of the steel ASTM-36 $E = 200000 MPa$

The strain of the bar when subjected to 150 MPa is

$\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{E} = \frac{150}{200000} = 0.00075$

Therefore, if the bar elongates by 1.35 mm, then the original length L would be:

$\epsilon = \frac{\Delta L}{L}$

$L = \frac{\Delta L}{\epsilon} = \frac{1.35}{0.00075} = 1800 mm$ or 1.8m

A motor keep a Ferris wheel (with moment of inertia 6.97 × 107 kg · m2 ) rotating at 8.5 rev/hr. When the motor is turned off, t

Talja [164]

Answer:

$P = 133.13 Watt$

Explanation:

Initial angular speed of the ferris wheel is given as

$\omega_i = 2\pi f$

$\omega_i = 2\pi(8.5/3600)$

$\omega_i = 0.015 rad/s$

final angular speed after friction is given as

$\omega_f = 2\pi f$

$\omega_f = 2\pi(7.5/3600)$

$\omega_f = 0.013 rad/s$

now angular acceleration is given as

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$

$\alpha = \frac{0.015 - 0.013}{15}$

$\alpha = 1.27 \times 10^{-4} rad/s^2$

now torque due to friction on the wheel is given as

$\tau = I \alpha$

$\tau = (6.97 \times 10^7)(1.27 \times 10^{-4})$

$\tau = 8875.3 N m$

Now the power required to rotate it with initial given speed is

$P = \tau \omega$

$P = 8875.3 \times 0.015$

$P = 133.13 Watt$

Where should an object be placed in front of a concave mirror’s principal axis to form an image that is real, inverted, larger t

Charra [1.4K]

If the object is kept in between the principle axis and the focus but some what nearer to the focus then we will get the enlarge,erect,and real image.
