You are using a hydrogen discharge tube and high quality red and blue light filters as the light source for a Michelson interfer

ometer. The hydrogen discharge tube provides light of several different wavelengths (colors) in the visible range. The red light in the hydrogen spectrum has a wavelength of 656.3 nm and the blue light has a wavelength of 434.0 nm. When using the discharge tube and the red filter as the light source, you view a bright red spot in the viewing area of the interferometer. You now move the movable mirror away from the beam splitter and observe 158 bright spots. You replace the red filter with the blue filter and observe a bright blue spot in the interferometer. You now move the movable mirror towards the beam splitter and observe 114 bright spots. Determine the final displacement (include sign) of the moveable mirror. (Assume the positive direction is away from the beam splitter.)

Answer:

final displacement = +24484.5 nm

Explanation:

The path difference when 158 bright spots were observed with red light (λ1 = 656.3 nm) is given as;

Δr = 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1

So, 2d2 - 2d1 = 150λ1

Dividing both sides by 2 to get;

d2 - d1 = 75λ1 - - - - eq1

Where;

d1 = distance between the fixed mirror and the beam splitter

d2 = position of moveable mirror from splitter when 158 bright spots are observed

Now, the path difference between the two waves when 114 bright spots were observed is;

Δr = 2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1

2d'2 - 2d1 = 114λ1

Divide both sides by 2 to get;

d'2 - d1 = 57λ1

Where;

d'2 is the new position of the movable mirror from the splitter

Now, the displacement of the moveable mirror is (d2 - d'2). To get this, we will subtract eq2 from eq1.

(d2 - d1) - (d'2 - d1) = 75λ1 - 57λ2

d2 - d1 - d'2 + d1 = 75λ1 - 57λ2

d2 - d'2 = 75λ1 - 57λ2

We are given;

(λ1 = 656.3 nm) and λ2 = 434.0 nm.

Thus;

d2 - d'2 = 75(656.3) - 57(434)

d2 - d'2 = +24484.5 nm

If your apparatus were to be dropped from a mile above the ground, describe the forces acting upon your apparatus as it fell. Ho
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

An accelerometer is a tool that measures proper acceleration.[1] Proper acceleration is the acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) of a body in its own instantaneous rest frame;[2] this is different from coordinate acceleration, which is acceleration in a fixed coordinate system. For example, an accelerometer at rest on the surface of the Earth will measure an acceleration due to Earth's gravity, straight upwards[3] (by definition) of g ≈ 9.81 m/s2. By contrast, accelerometers in free fall (falling toward the center of the Earth at a rate of about 9.81 m/s2) will measure zero.

Accelerometers have many uses in industry and science. Highly sensitive accelerometers are used in inertial navigation systems for aircraft and missiles. Vibration in rotating machines is monitored by accelerometers. They are used in tablet computers and digital cameras so that images on screens are always displayed upright. In unmanned aerial vehicles, accelerometers help to stabilise flight.

When two or more accelerometers are coordinated with one another, they can measure differences in proper acceleration, particularly gravity, over their separation in space—that is, the gradient of the gravitational field. Gravity gradiometry is useful because absolute gravity is a weak effect and depends on the local density of the Earth, which is quite variable.

Single- and multi-axis accelerometers can detect both the magnitude and the direction of the proper acceleration, as a vector quantity, and can be used to sense orientation (because the direction of weight changes), coordinate acceleration, vibration, shock, and falling in a resistive medium (a case in which the proper acceleration changes, increasing from zero). Micromachined microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometers are increasingly present in portable electronic devices and video-game controllers, to detect changes in the positions of these devices.

Which of the following statements about Gaussʹs law are correct? (There may be more than one correct choice.) Question 3 options
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface.

Explanation:

Option A is incorrect because, given this case, it is easier to calculate the field.

Option B is incorrect because, in a situation where the surface is placed inside a uniform field, option B is violated

Option C is also incorrect because it is possible to be a field from outside charges, but there will be an absence of net flux through the surface from these.

Hence, option D is the correct answer. "If a Gaussian surface is completely inside an electrostatic conductor, the electric field must always be zero at all points on that surface."

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.

While space walking, when the astronaut gets detached from the space ship, she floats in space holding a wrench. In order to get back to the spaceship, she should throw the wrench in the opposite direction of the spaceship. This action would  cause a reaction on her own body and she would be pushed away from the wrench and towards the spaceship. Thus, she can return back to the spaceship in this way.
