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 ball is thrown with a velocity of 35 meters per second at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. which quantity has a magnitude

enot [183]

The quantity that has a magnitude of zero when the ball is at the highest point in its trajectory is the vertical velocity.

In fact, the motion of the ball consists of two separate motions:
- the horizontal motion, on the x-axis, which is a uniform motion with constant velocity $v_x=v_0 cos 30^{\circ}$ , where $v_0=35 m/s$
- the vertical motion, on the y-axis, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration $g=9.81 m/s^2$ directed downwards, and with initial velocity $v_y=v_= sin 30^{\circ}$ . Due to the presence of the acceleration g on the vertical direction (pointing in the opposite direction of the initial vertical velocity), the vertical velocity of the ball decreases as it goes higher, up to a point where it becomes zero and it reverses its direction: when the vertical velocity becomes zero, the ball has reached its maximum height.

The speed of a projectile when it reaches its maximum height is 0.58 times its speed when it is at half its maximum height. What

Ne4ueva [31]

Speed of the projectile at its maximum height is only along horizontal direction

so at highest point

$v_1 = v_x$

now when he is at half of the maximum height the speed will be in x and y direction both

$v_2 = \sqrt{v_y^2 + v_x^2}$

here it is given that

$v_1 = 0.58 v_2$

$v_x = 0.58\sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$2.97 v_x^2 = v_x^2 + v_y^2$

$1.97 v_x^2 = v_y^2$

also we know that

$v_y^2 = v_{iy}^2 - 2 g \frac{H}{2}$

here we know that maximum height is given as

$H = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2g}$

$v_y^2 = v_{iy}^2 - 2 g\frac{v_{iy}^2}{4g}$

$v_y^2 = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2}$

now from above

$1.97 v_x^2 = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2}$

$1.98 v_x = v_{iy}$

also we know that angle of projection is

$tan\theta = \frac{v_{iy}}{v_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{1.98v_x}{v_x}$

so angle is

$\theta = tan^{-1} 1.98$

$\theta = 63.3 degree$

The metric unit of force is the

grandymaker [24]

The unit of force is the 'Newton'.

1 newton is the force that accelerates 1 kilogram of mass
at the rate of 1 meter per second-squared.

1 N = 1 kg-m/s²

-- A force of 1 pound is about 4.448 newtons.

-- A force of 1 newton is about 3.6 ounces.

A bus travels north on some busy city streets for 2.5 km, and a trip

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

V = 4.63 m/s

V = 11.31 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

The distance traveled by the bus, towards north, d = 2.5 km

= 2500 m

The time taken by the trip is, t = 9 min

= 540 s

The velocity of the bus,

V = d / t

= 2500 / 540

= 4.63 m/s

At another point, the bus travels at a constant speed of v = 18 m/s

Therefore the velocity becomes

V = (4.63 + 18)/2

= 11.31 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the bus, V = 11.31 m/s
