Answer:

We can retain the original diffraction pattern if we change the slit width to d) 2d.

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern of a single slit has a bright central maximum and dimmer maxima on either side. We will retain the original diffraction pattern on a screen if the relative spacing of the minimum or maximum of intensity remains the same when changing the wavelength and the slit width simultaneously.

Using the following parameters: <em>y</em> for the distance from the center of the bright maximum to a place of minimum intensity, <em>m</em> for the order of the minimum, <em>λ </em>for the wavelength, <em>D </em>for the distance from the slit to the screen where we see the pattern and <em>d </em>for the slit width. The distance from the center to a minimum of intensity can be calculated with:

                                                    y\approx\frac{m\lambda D}{d}

From the above expression we see that if we replace the blue light of wavelength λ by red light of wavelength 2λ in order to retain the original diffraction pattern we need to change the slit width to 2d:

<em>                                                 </em>y\approx\frac{m\lambda D}{d} =\frac{m2\lambda D}{2d}

Nuetrik [128]

Answer: he did travel 15 meters.

Explanation:

We have the data:

Acceleration = a = 1.2 m/s^2

Time lapes = 3 seconds

Initial speed = 3.2 m/s.

Then we start writing the acceleration:

a(t) = 1.2 m/s^2

now for the velocity, we integrate over time:

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + v0

with v0 = 3.2 m/s

v(t) = (1.2 m/s^2)*t + 3.2 m/s

For the position, we integrate again.

p(t) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*t^2 + 3.2m/s*t + p0

Because we want to know the displacementin those 3 seconds ( p(3s) - p(0s)) we can use p0 = 0m

Then the displacement at t = 3s will be equal to p(3s).

p(3s) = (1/2)*(1.2 m/s^2)*(3s)^2 + 3.2m/s*3s = 15m

The magnetic field inside a superconducting solenoid is 4.00 T. The solenoid has an inner diameter of 6.20 cm and a length of 26
Delvig [45]

Answer:

(a) The magnetic energy density in the field is 6.366 J/m³

(b) The energy stored in the magnetic field within the solenoid is 5 kJ

Explanation:

magnitude of magnetic field inside solenoid, B = 4 T

inner diameter of solenoid, d = 6.2 cm

inner radius of the solenoid, r = 3.1 cm = 0.031 m

length of solenoid, L = 26 cm = 0.26 m

(a) The magnetic energy density in the field is given by;

u _B = \frac{B^2}{2\mu_o} \\\\u _B = \frac{(4)^2}{2(4\pi*10^{-7})}\\\\u_B = 6.366*10^6 \ J/m^3

(b) The energy stored in the magnetic field within the solenoid

U_B = u_B V\\\\U_B = u_B AL

U_B = u_B(A)(L)\\\\U_B = 6.366*10^6(\pi * 0.031^2)(0.26) \\\\U_B = 4997.69 J\\\\U_B = 5 \ KJ\\
