The distance between slits in a double-slit experiment is decreased by a factor of 2. If the distance between fringes is small c
Elodia [21]

Answer:

the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

Explanation:

To find how the distance between fringes is modified you can use the following formula for the calculation of the distance between fringes:

\Delta y=\frac{\lambda D}{d}

D: distance to the screen

d: distance between slits

λ: wavelength of the light

if d is decreased by a factor of 2, that is d'=1/2d, you have:

\Delta y'=\frac{\lambda D}{d'}=\frac{\lambda D}{(1/2)d}=2\Delta y

hence, the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

A penny rides on top of a piston as it undergoes vertical simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 4.0cm. If the frequency is
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

the penny loses contact at the piston's highest point.

f = 2.5 Hz

Explanation:

Concepts and Principles  

1- Newton's Second Law: The net force F on a body with mass m is related to the body's acceleration a by  

∑F = ma                                                          (1)  

2- The maximum transverse acceleration of a particle in simple harmonic motion is found in terms of the angular speed w and the amplitude A as follows:  

a_max = -w^2A                                                (2)  

3- The angular frequency w of a wave is related to the frequency f by:  

w = 2π f                                                              (3)  

Given Data  

- The amplitude of the piston is: A = (4.0 cm) ( 1/ 100 cm)=  0.04 m.  

- The frequency of oscillation of the piston is steadily increased.

Required Data

<em>In part (a), we are asked to determine the point at which the penny first loses contact with the piston.  </em>

<em>In part (b), we are asked to determine the maximum frequency for which the penny just barely remains in place for a full cycle.  </em>

Solution  

(a)  

The free-body diagram in Figure 1 shows the forces acting on the penny; mi is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the penny andrt is the normal contact force exerted by the piston on the penny.  

figure 1 is attached

Apply Newton's second law from Equation (1) in the vertical direction to the penny:  

∑F_y -mg= ma        

Solve for n=m(g+a) The penny loses contact with the surface of the oscillating piston when the normal force n exerted by the piston is zero. So  

0 = m(g + a)

a = —g  

Therefore, the penny loses contact with the piston when the piston starts accelerating downwards. The piston first acceleratesdownward at its highest point and hence the penny loses contact at the piston's highest point.

(b)  

The maximum acceleration of the penny at the highest point of the piston is found from Equation (2):  

a = —w^2A  

where a = —g at the highest point. So  

g = w^2A  

Solve for w:  

w =√g/A

Substitute for w from Equation (3):

2πf =  √g/A

Solve for f :  

f = 1/2π√g/A

Substitute numerical values:  

f = 1/2π√9.8 m/s^2/0.04

f = 2.5 Hz

A solid block, with a mass of 0.15kg, on a frictionless surface is pushed directly onto a horizontal spring, with a spring const
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

16.1 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

At the beginning, the spring is compressed by x = 35 cm = 0.35 m, and it stores an elastic potential energy given by

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where k = 316 N/m is the spring constant. Once the block is released, the spring returns to its natural length and all its elastic potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of the block (which starts moving). This kinetic energy is equal to

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where m = 0.15 kg is the mass of the block and v is its speed.

Since the energy must be conserved, we can equate the initial elastic energy of the spring to the final kinetic energy of the block, and from the equation we obtain we can find the speed of the block:

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(316 N/m)(0.35 m)^2}{0.15 kg}}=16.1 m/s
