In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 0.2 mm and the distance to the screen is 100 cm. What is the phas

Anni [7]

Answer:

The phase difference is $\Delta \phi = 180^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between the slits is $d = 0.2 \ mm = \frac{0.2}{1000} = 0.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance to the screen is $D = 100 cm = \frac{100}{100} = 1 \ m$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 400nm$

The distance of the wave from the central maximum is $L = 5mm = 5*10^{-3} m$

Generally the path difference of this waves is mathematically represented as

$y = d sin \theta$

Here $\theta$ is the angle between the the line connecting the mid-point of the slits with the screen and the line connecting the mid-point of the slits to the central maximum

This implies that

$tan \theta = \frac{L}{D}$

=> $\theta = tan ^{-1} \frac{L}{D}$

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{5*10^{-3}}{1}]$

$\theta =0.2865$

Substituting values into the formula for path difference

$y = 0.2 *10^{-3} sin(0.2864)$

$y = 9.997*10^{-7} \ m$

The phase difference is mathematically represented as

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda } * y$

Substituting values

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{400 *10^{-9} } \ * 9.997*10^{-7}$

$\Delta \phi =5 \pi$

Converting to degree

$\Delta \phi =5 \pi radians = 5 (180^o) = 180^o$

the solution is subtracted by 360° in order to get the actual angle

Anna [14]

Answer:12 meter

Explanation:

acceleration(a)=6m/s^2

Time(t)=2 seconds

Distance =(a x t^2)/2

Distance =(6 x 2^2)/2

Distance=(6 x 2 x 2)/2

Distance=24/2

Distance =12

Distance is 12 meters

A 5.67-kg block of wood is attached to a spring with a spring constant of 150 N/m. The block is free to slide on a horizontal fr

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

v=0.94 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

M= 5.67 kg

k= 150 N/m

m=1 kg

μ = 0.45

The maximum acceleration of upper block can be μ g.

a= μ g ( g = 10 m/s²)

The maximum acceleration of system will ω²X.

ω = natural frequency

X=maximum displacement

For top stop slipping

μ g =ω²X

We know for spring mass system natural frequency given as

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{M+m}}$

By putting the values

$\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{150}{5.67+1}}$

ω = 4.47 rad/s

μ g =ω²X

By putting the values

0.45 x 10 = 4.47² X

X = 0.2 m

From energy conservation

$\dfrac{1}{2}kX^2=\dfrac{1}{2}(m+M)v^2$

$kX^2=(m+M)v^2$

150 x 0.2²=6.67 v²

v=0.94 m/s

This is the maximum speed of system.

In an automobile collision, a 44-kilogram passenger moving at 15 meters per second is brought to rest by an air bag during a 0.1

const2013 [10]

Answer:

6,600N

Explanation:

According to second law of motion, Force = mass × acceleration

If acceleration = change in velocity/time = 15/0.10

Acceleration = 150m/s²

Given mass = 44kg

Force = 44× 150

Force = 6,600N

Magnitude of the average force exerted on the passenger during this time is 6,600N

What is necessary for a substance to be a conductor of electricity?

Stella [2.4K]

The main requirement for a good conductor of electricity is to have a lot of valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons of the outer shells of atoms not bound with other atoms (for example through covalent bounds). These electrons are "free to escape" as soon as an electric field with enough intensity is applied to the material, and therefore these electrons will be free to move in the material producing an electric current.
