Answer:

(a) angles of maxima = 13.9°, 28.7° , 46°, 73.7° on either side

b] largest order = 4

Explanation:

(a) for diffraction maxima,

sin \theta =m\times \lambda/d

Here, m is the order, \lambda is the wavelength, \theta  is the angle at which maxima occur, d is inter planar spacing.

And we know that lines per mm (N) is related with d as,

N=\frac{1}{d}

Given that the wavelength is,

\lambda=600.0 nm=600\times 10^{-9}m

And N=\frac{400 lines}{mm} \\N=\frac{400 lines}{10^{-3}m }

Now,

sin \theta =m\times \lambda\times N

Therefore,

sin \theta= m\times600\times 10^{-9} \times 400\times 10^{3}\\sin \theta=0.24m

Here, m can be 1,2,3,4 as sin theta has to be less than 1.

\theta = arcsin 0.24 , arcsin 0.48 , arcsin 0.72 , arcsin 0.96

Therefore, angles of maxima = 13.9°, 28.7° , 46°, 73.7° on either side

b] largest order = 4

Explain why the speed of light is lower than<br> 3.0 x 108 m/s as it goes through different media.
jekas [21]

Answer:

Sample Response: In a vacuum, there are no atoms or particles that interfere with the path of light. However, in other media, the speed of light is lower than 3.0 × 108 m/s because the wave is continuously absorbed and re-emitted by each atom in its path. The differences in speed are due to the composition of the medium and the density of the particles in the medium.

Electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength of 525 nm appears as green light to the human eye. Calculate the frequency of this l
12345 [234]

Answer:

5.71×10¹⁴ Hz

Explanation:

Applying,

v = λf................. Equation 1

Where v = speed of the electromagnetic radiation, λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation, f = frequency

make f the subject of the equation

f = v/λ............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: λ = 525 nm = 5.25×10⁻⁷ m,

Constant: Speed of electromagnetic wave (v) = 3.0×10⁸ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = (3.0×10⁸)/(5.25×10⁻⁷)

f = 5.71×10¹⁴ Hz

Hence the frequency of light is 5.71×10¹⁴ Hz

Our milky way galaxy is 100000 lyly in diameter. a spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy's diameter to be a mere 1.
Sidana [21]

The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

L = 1 light year

L₀ = 100,000 light year

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{(3*10^8)^2} }

\frac{1}{100,000}  = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

v = 0.999999995 c

Therefore, the speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.
