Due to the wave nature of light, light shined on a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern? Green light (520 nm) is shine
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Yes, it will produce a diffraction pattern.

a. 3.9 mm b. 1.95 mm

Explanation:

The light shined from a single slit will produce a diffraction pattern because,  the wavefront act as wavelets which generates its own wave according to Huygens principle. This therefore causes the diffraction pattern.

Given

wavelength of green light, λ = 520 nm = 520 × 10⁻⁹ m = 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ m

width of slit, d = 0.440 mm = 0.44 × 10⁻³ m = 4.4 × 10⁻⁴ m

Distance of slit from central maximum , D = 1.65 m

Distance of first minimum from central maximum, y = ?

a. The relationship between the slit width and wavelength is given by [tex} dsinθ = mλ [/tex]where d = slit width, θ = angular distance from central maximum, λ = wavelength of light and m = ±1, ±2, ±3...

The relationship between y and D is given by tanθ = y/D

Since θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ

so, dθ = mλ ⇒ θ = mλ/d = y/D

Therefore, y = mλD/d

Now, for the first minimum above the slit, m = +1 and for the first minimum below the slit, m = -1. So, y₁ =  λD/d and y₋₁ =  -λD/d. So, the width of the central maximum Δy is the difference between the first minima below and above the central maximum. So, Δy = y₁ - y₋₁ = λD/d -(-λD/d) = 2λD/d

Substituting the values from above, Δy= 2 × 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴ =  3900 × 10⁻⁶ m = 3.9 × 10⁻³ m = 3.9 mm

b. The first order fringe is the fringe located between the first minimum and the second minimum. From dsinθ = mλ and tanθ = y/D when θ is small, sinθ ≈ θ ≈ tanθ. So, y = mλD/d. Let m= 1 and m=2 be the first and second minima respectively. So,y₁ =  λD/d and y₂ =  2λD/d. The difference Δy₁ = y₂ - y₁ is the width of the first order fringe. Therefore, Δy₁ = 2λD/d - λD/d= λD/d. Substituting the values from above, we have

λD/d= 5.20 × 10⁻⁷ × 1.65/4.4 × 10⁻⁴= 1.95 × 10⁻³ m = 1.95 mm

How does a metamorphic rock become an igneous rock?
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

If the newly formed metamorphic rock continues to heat, it can eventually melt and become molten (magma). When the molten rock cools it forms an igneous rock. Metamorphic rocks can form from either sedimentary or igneous rocks.

What is the average velocity of atoms in 2.00 mol of neon (a monatomic gas)
Dimas [21]

Answer:

v = 876 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of mol of Neon is 2 mol

Temperature, T = 308 K

Mass, m = 0.02 kg

Value of R - 8.31 J/mol-K

We need to find the average velocity of atoms in 2.00 mol of neon. Neon is a monoatomic gas. Let v is the velocity. So,

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=\dfrac{3}{2}nRT\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{3nRT}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 2\times 8.314\times 308}{0.02}} \\\\v=876.47\ m/s

So, the correct option is (B).

Why don’t trade winds blow straight toward the equator<br> Apex
rosijanka [135]

Trade winds near equator blows in curve path instead of straight path. This is because of earth rotation. This effect of earth rotation that cause wind to move in curve motion is called Coriolis effect. These kind of wind blows at the northeast of the North hemisphere and southeast of the South hemisphere. The trade wind are warm and it blows due to rising of hot air from equator.
