Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 582 nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern o

n a screen that is 75.0 cm from the slits. The centers of the slits are 0.640 mm apart and the width of each slit is 0.434 mm. If the intensity at the center of the central maximum is 4.40×10^−4 W/m^2.
Required:

Answer:

  I = 0.56 10⁻⁴ W / m²

Explanation:

Double-slit interference is described by the expression

         d sin θ = m λ

if we use trigonometry we can find the angle

        tan θ= y / L

how the angles are small

       tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

      sin θ = y / L

we substitute

       d y / L = m λ

if we take into account that each slit also produces a diffraction phenomenon, the intensity distribution is the product of the intensity of the slits by the intensity of the diffraction process

      I = I₀ cos² (d a)   [(sin ba) / ba]²

      a = π sin θ /λ

       

where the separation of the slits and b is the width of the slits

we substitute

     I = I₀ [cos (d a)]²  [sin ba  /ba]²

     a = π y / (L λ)

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

     λ = 582 nm = 582 10⁻⁹ m

     L = 75.0 cm = 75.0 10⁻² m

     d = 0.640 mm = 0.640 10⁻³ m

     b = 0.434 mm = 0.434 10⁻³ m

     Io = 4.40 10⁻⁴ W / m²

let's calculate for y = 0.710 mm = 0.710 10⁻³ m

     a = π 0.710 10⁻³ / (75 10⁻² 582 10⁻⁹)

      a = 5.11004 10³

I = 4.40 10⁻⁴ [cos (0.640 10⁻³ 5.11004 10³)]² (sin (0.434 10⁻³ 5.11004 10³) / (0.434 10⁻³ 5.11 10³)²

      I = 4.40 10⁻⁴ cos² (3.2704)   (sin 2.2178 / 2.2178)²

remember that the angles are in radians

 

      I = 4.40 10⁻⁴   0.9835  (0.79789 / 2.2178)²

      I = 4.40 10⁻⁴   0.9835    0.1294

      I = 0.56 10⁻⁴ W / m²

A solid disk has a mass of 162 kg and a radius of 1.30m. This
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

754.3 m

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the solid disk:

I = mR^2/2

Where m is the disk mass and R is the radius of the disk.

I = 162*1.3^2/2 = 136.89 kgm^2

The angular kinetic energy of the disk is then:

E_k = I\omega^2/2 = 136.89 * 18^2/2 = 22176.18 J

By law of energy conservation, this energy is converted to potential energy to pick up the 3kg block

let g = 9.8 m/s2

E_p = m_bgh = 22176.18 J

where m_b = 3 kg is the mass of block

3*9.8h = 22176.18

h = \frac{22176.18}{3*9.8} = 754.3 m

A student hears a police siren. What would change the frequency that the student hears? Check all that apply.
ser-zykov [4K]
<span>A student hears a police siren.

The arithmetic of the Doppler Effect shows that if the distance between
the source and observer is changing, then the observer hears a different
frequency compared to the frequency actually radiating from the source. 

Thus the first four choices would cause the student to hear a different
frequency:

-- if the student walked toward the police car
-- if the student walked away from the police car
-- if the police car moved toward the student
-- if the police car moved away from the student

The last two choices wouldn't affect the frequency heard by the student,
since the perceived frequency of a sound doesn't depend on its intensity.

-- if the intensity of the siren increased
-- if the intensity of the siren decreased.</span>
