A single slit diffraction experiment performed with an argon laser of wavelength 454.6 nm produces a pattern on a screen with da

rk fringes (minima) separated by 10 mm. If we replace the slit with another slit of double the width of the original one, without changing anything else in the setup, what will be the new separation between dark fringes?

Answer:

5mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the separation between fringes is given by

d = λD/a where d is the separation between fringes, λ is the wavelenth and a is the slit width. If nothing but the slit width is the changed and the setup is unchanged then we can write a comparitive equation such as below

(d2/d1) = (λD/a2)/(λD/a1)

We know that the new slit is double the width, which means a2 = 2 x a1

Substituting the values and simplifying the above equation becomes

(d2/d1) = (λD/2.a1)/(λD/a1) = (λD/2.a1) x (a1/λD/a1)

(d2/d1) = 1/2

d2/10 = 1/2

d2 = 5mm

The graph of a quadratic function has x intercepts at -3 and 5/2, and y intercept at 10. Give the function.
sesenic [268]

Answer:

  f(x) = -4/3x² -2/3x +10

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic regression function of a graphing calculator or spreadsheet can determine the equation for you.

___

Or, you can determine it yourself.

The equation can be written in the form ...

   f(x) = a(x +3)(x -5/2) . . . . . . . using the given x-intercepts

for some value of "a"

For x = 0, this must match the y-intercept.

  f(0) = a(0 +3)(0 -5/2) = 10

  -15/2·a = 10

  a = -20/15 = -4/3

So, the function can be written as ...

  f(x) = (-4/3)(x +3)(x -5/2)

or

  f(x) = -4/3x² -2/3x +10

(03.03)<br> How does the graph of f(x) = (x – 9)^4-3 compare to the parent function g(x) =x^4?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The child graph is shifted 9 units to the right. That's what the nine does. The graph also shifts 3 units down when compared to g(x).

I have put a graph in so that you can see the shifts for yourself.

The red line is g(x) = x^4

The blue line is f(x) = (x - 9)^4 - 3

The measurements obtained for the interior dimensions of a rectangular box are 200 cm by 200 cm by 300 cm. If each of the three
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

C. 160,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the measurements obtained for the interior dimensions of a rectangular box are 200 cm by 200 cm by 300 cm.

Also given that each of the three measurements has an error of at most 1 cm

COnsider the worst case where each dimension is increased by 1 cm

Then we measure the dimensions as 201 , 201 and 301

So volume would be measured as

201*201*301\\= 12160701 cubic cm

Actual volume of the box = 200*200*300\\=12000000 cubic cm

Difference maximum possible = 160701 cubic cm

Out of the five options given option C is nearest to this value

So answer is

C. 160,000
