Two sources of light of wavelength 700 nm are 9 m away from a pinhole of diameter 1.2 mm. How far apart must the sources be for

their diffraction patterns to be resolved by Rayleigh's criterion
Physics

Lelechka [254]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The distance is  D  =  0.000712 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The wavelength of  the  light source is  \lambda  =  700 \ nm = 700 *10^{-9} \  m

     The distance from a pin hole is  x  =  9\ m

       The  diameter of the pin  hole is  d =  1.2 \ mm  =  0.0012 \ m

     

Generally the distance which the light source need to be in order for their diffraction patterns to be resolved by Rayleigh's criterion is

mathematically represented as

              D  =  \frac{1.22 \lambda }{d }

substituting values

             D  =  \frac{1.22 * 700 *10^{-9} }{ 0.0012 }

             D  =  0.000712 \ m

Earth's rotational axis completes one precession every _____.
ruslelena [56]

A). Earth completes one rotation on its rotation axis
every (3 minutes and 56 seconds less than 24 hours).
This causes night and day.  It's rotation, not precession.

B).  Earth completes one orbital revolution around the sun
every (365 plus a little bit) days.  It's revolution, not precession.

C).  I'm not sure what happens on a cycle of 512 years.
It may have something to do with the moon.  But whatever
it is, it's not precession.

D).  When you spin a top and it starts to run down, the first
thing that happens is that the handle of the top, or the point
on top of the top, starts moving in a circle.  That's precession.
That's what the Earth's axis is doing.  The north pole points
toward the north star (Polaris) now.  But the north pole is
actually drawing out a big circle in the sky, and other stars
will become the "north star" far in the future.
The north pole draws out a full circle in the sky, roughly
once every 26,000 years.  That's precession.

How does volcanic ash in earth's atmosphere affect solar radiation?
Irina-Kira [14]

The answer is it increases the amount of solar radiation that is redirected into space. Most of the particles emitted from volcanoes cool the earth by covering entering solar radiation. The cooling result can last for months to years contingent on the features of the eruption.

Which vector should be negative?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

 The velocity of a falling object

Explanation:

  The positive X axis is towards right and positive Y axis is towards up, so North direction is positive

  A vector with less than 1 magnitude is not negative, because its magnitude may be in between 0 and 1 which is positive vector.

  Any vector whose magnitude is greater than 1 is never be a negative vector.

  The velocity of a falling object is towards bottom, that is towards negative Y axis. So that vector is negative.

Why is centrifugal force is a fake force?<br>​
mash [69]

Answer:

We say fictitious because the actual source of the centrifugal acceleration is somewhat indirect and the experience one has results from the unbalanced forces acting on the reference frame, not a force. Note, it is an acceleration not a force. For instance, imagine yourself on a swing.
