Complete Question

A student locates a double-slit assembly 1.40 m from a reflective screen. The slits are separated by 0.0572 mm.

(a) Suppose the student aims a beam of yellow light, with a wavelength of 589 nm, toward the slit assembly, and this makes an interference pattern on the screen. What distance (in cm) separates the zeroth-order and first-order bright fringes (a.k.a. maxima)?

(b)

Now suppose that blue light (with

λ = 415 nm)

is used instead. What distance (in cm) will now separate the second-order and fourth-order bright fringes?

Answer:

a

The distance of separation is  z_1 - z_o = 1.44cm

b

The distance of separation is  z_4 - z_2  =  2.031cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The distance from the screen is  D = 1.40m

      The slit separation is d = 0.0572 mm = 0.0572 *10^{-3} m

       The wavelength of the yellow light is  \lambda_y = 598nm

       

The distance of a fringe from the central maxima is mathematically represented as

       z_n  = n \frac{\lambda_y D}{d}

Where n is the order of the fringe so the distance of separation between  

   The distance that separates first order from zeroth order bright fringe can be evaluated as

            z_1 - z_o = (1 - 0 ) \frac{\lambda_y D}{d}

Substituting values

          z_1 - z_o = (1 - 0 ) \frac{590*10^{-9} 1.40}{0.0572 *10^{-3}}

          z_1 - z_o = 0.0144m

Converting to cm

            z_1 - z_o = 0.0144m =  0.0144*100 = 1.44cm

b

The  wavelength of blue light is  \lambda _b

       So the distance that separates second  order from fourth order bright fringe can be evaluated as

         z_4 - z_2 = (4 - 2 ) \frac{\lambda_y D}{d}

Substituting values

        z_4 - z_2 = (4 - 2 ) \frac{415*10^{-9} 1.40}{0.0572 *10^{-3}}

        z_4 - z_2 = 0.02031 \ m

Converting to cm

            z_4 - z_2 = 0.02031m =  0.02031*100 = 2.031cm

Hello!

The statement that <span>describes the solar feature shooting off into space labeled C is An envelope of plasma surrounding the Sun. 

This is called the Solar Corona. It is the outmost layer of the Sun's atmosphere. The Corona is hotter than the visible surface of the Sun. (1 000 000 - 3 000 000 K). It is composed of Plasma (The fourth state of the matter, similar to the gaseous state, but with electrically charged particles). All structural details of the Solar Corona are derived from the Magnetic Field of the Sun. 

Have a nice day!</span>

The distance between the first and fifth minima of a single-slit diffraction pattern is 0.500 mm with the screen 37.0 cm away fr
WARRIOR [948]
In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by
y_n= \frac{n \lambda D}{a} (1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern
\lambda is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit

In our problem, 
D=37.0 cm=0.37 m
\lambda=530 nm=5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m
while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is
y_5-y_1 = 0.500 mm=0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m (2)

If we use the formula to rewrite y_5, y_1, eq.(2) becomes
\frac{5 \lambda D}{a} - \frac{1 \lambda D}{a} =\frac{4 \lambda D}{a}= 0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m
Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
a= \frac{4 \lambda D}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}= \frac{4 (5.3 \cdot 10^{-7} m)(0.37 m)}{0.5 \cdot 10^{-3} m}=  1.57 \cdot 10^{-3} m=1.57 mm

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<h2>289.9 kg.m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The momentum of an object can be found by using the formula

momentum = mass × velocity

From the question we have

momentum = 130 × 22.3

We have the final answer as

<h3>289.9 kg.m/s</h3>

Dolphin echolocation is similar to ultrasound. Reflected sound waves
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

Waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.

Explanation:

To understand why high-frequency waves work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation, first we have to understand the relation between frequency and wavelength.

The relation between frequency and wavelength is given by

λ = c/f

Where λ is wavelength, c is the speed of light and f is the frequency.

Since the speed of light is constant, the wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

So that means high frequency waves have shorter wavelengths, which is the very reason for the successful echolocation because waves having shorter wavelength are more likely to reach and hit the target and then reflect back to the dolphin to form an image of the object.

Thus, waves with high frequencies have shorter wavelengths that work better  than low frequency waves for successful echolocation.
