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

At what speed does a 1,248 kg compact car have the same kinetic energy as a 18,777 kg truck going 26 km/h?
notka56 [123]

The speed of car is 100.8km/h

KE =  \frac{1}{2} m(v \: truck ) {}^{2}

= 0.5 \times 18777 \times  \frac{26}{3.6} \times  \frac{26}{3.6}

= 489708.79j

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1248 \times( v \: car) {}^{2}

= 624v {}^{2}

so \: v {}^{2}  =  \frac{489708.7}{624}

= 784

v =  \sqrt{784}

v = 28m/s

v car= 28×3.6

=100.8km/h

Hence, the speed of the car is 100.8km/h

You yell into a canyon. You hear the echo in 3 seconds. How long did the sound of your voice travel before bouncing off a cliff?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The sound travelled 516 meters before bouncing off a cliff.

Explanation:

The sound is an example of mechanical wave, which means that it needs a medium to propagate itself at constant speed. The time needed to hear the echo is equal to twice the height of the canyon divided by the velocity of sound. In addition, the speed of sound through the air at a temperature of 20 ºC is approximately 344 meters per second. Then, the height of the canyon can be derived from the following kinematic formula:

2\cdot h = v\cdot t (1)

Where:

h - Height, measured in meters.

v - Velocity of sound, measured in meters per second.

t - Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that  v = 344\,\frac{m}{s} and t = 3\,s, then the height of the canyon is:

h = \frac{v\cdot t}{2}

h = \frac{\left(344\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (3\,s)}{2}

h = 516\,m

The sound travelled 516 meters before bouncing off a cliff.

A block–spring system vibrating on a frictionless, horizontal surface with an amplitude of 7.0 cm has an energy of 14 J. If the
Bingel [31]

Answer:

E_T= 28J

Explanation:

The energy of Mass-Spring System the sum of the potential energy of the block plus the kinetic energy of the block:

E_T=U+K=\frac{1}{2} k \Delta x^2+\frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where:

\Delta x=Amplitude\hspace{3}or\hspace{3}d eformation\hspace{3} of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} spring\\m=Mass\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}block\\k=Constant\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}spring\\v=Velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}block

There are two cases, the first case is when the spring is compressed to its maximum value, in this case the value of the kinetic energy is zero, since there is no speed, so:

E_T=\frac{1}{2} k \Delta x^2\\\\14=\frac{1}{2} k7^2\\\\Solving\hspace{3} for\hspace{3} k\\\\k=\frac{28}{49} =\frac{4}{7}

The second case is when the block passes through its equilibrium position, in this case the elastic potential energy is zero since \Delta x=0, so:

E_T=\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\14=\frac{1}{2} mv^2\\\\Solving\hspace{3} for\hspace{3} v\\\\v^2=\frac{28}{m}

Now, let's find the energy of the system when the block is replaced by one whose mass is twice the mass of the original block using the previous data:

E_T=U+K=\frac{1}{2} k \Delta x^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2

Where in this case:

m_2=New\hspace{3}mass=Twice\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} mass \hspace{3}of\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} original=2m

Therefore:

E_T=\frac{1}{2} (\frac{4}{7} ) (7^2)+\frac{1}{2} (2m)(\frac{28}{m_2})=\frac{1}{2} (\frac{4}{7} ) (7^2)+\frac{1}{2} (2m)(\frac{28}{2m})=14+14=28J
