The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, $d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }$ ..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, $\lambda$ = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

$A_{m}$ = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

$sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}$

$sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}$

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

$d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m$

Given that an electric field of 3×106V/m3×106V/m is required to produce an electrical spark within a volume of air, estimate the

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Length, l = 33.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrical field, $E=3\times 10^6\ V/m$

Let the electrical potential is, $V=10^8\ V$

We need to find the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt. The relation between electric field and the electric potential is given by :

$V=E\times d\\\\d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{10^8}{3\times 10^6}\\\\d=33.4\ m$

So, the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which is not an example of a scalar?

Crank

Answer:

b) 2ft/s

Explanation:

A scalar has only magintude, not direction

6.2m, 3kg, and -100 o C are all scalars because they only have magnitude.

2ft/s is not a scalar because it has a direction.

True or false, both mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy involve the interaction of molecules with electromagnetic energy

zavuch27 [327]

Yes, it is true, both mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy involve interaction of molecules with electromagnetic waves. ;Mass spectrometry method is used to determine the mass of a substance while infrared spectroscopy is used to determine the functional groups in molecules. Both methods involve the analysis of electromagnetic light interaction with molecules.
