In a double-slit arrangement the slits are separated by a distance equal to 100 times the wavelength of the light passing throug

h the slits. What is the angular separation in radians between the central maximum and an adjacent maximum?

Answer:

0.01 rad

Explanation:

For a double-slit experiment, we have that dsinθ = nλ. The separation between the central maximum and an adjacent maximum is when n = 1

dsinθ = λ

The angular separation θ = sin⁻¹(λ/d)

now d = 100λ

θ = sin⁻¹(λ/100λ) = sin⁻¹(0.01) = 0.573°

θ = 0.573° × π/180 = 0.01 rad

The maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through 180^\circ .

vlabodo [156]

Answer: $90\°$

Explanation:

The Compton Shift $\Delta \lambda$ in wavelength when the photons are scattered is given by the following equation:

$\Delta \lambda=\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (1)

Where:

$\lambda_{c}=2.43(10)^{-12} m$ is a constant whose value is given by $\frac{h}{m_{e}c}$ , being $h$ the Planck constant, $m_{e}$ the mass of the electron and $c$ the speed of light in vacuum.

$\theta)$ the angle between incident phhoton and the scatered photon.

We are told the maximum Compton shift in wavelength occurs when a photon isscattered through $180\°$ :

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-cos(180\°))$ (2)

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=\lambda_{c}(1-(-1))$

$\Delta \lambda_{max}=2\lambda_{c}$ (3)

Now, let's find the angle that will produce a fourth of this maximum value found in (3):

$\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{4}2\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (4)

$\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}(1-cos\theta)$ (5)

If we want $\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}=\frac{1}{2}\lambda_{c}$ , $1-cos\theta$ must be equal to 1:

$1-cos\theta=1$ (6)

Finding $\theta$ :

$1-1=cos\theta$

$0=cos\theta$

$\theta=cos^{-1} (0)$

Finally:

$\theta=90\°$ This is the scattering angle that will produce $\frac{1}{4}\Delta \lambda_{max}$

A 5kg block is pulled across a table by a horizontal force of 40 N with a frictional force of 8 N opposing the motion. Draw a fo

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Net force on the block is 32 N.

Acceleration of the object is 6.4 m/s².

Explanation:

Let the acceleration of the object be $a$ m/s².

Given:

Mass of the block is, $m=5\ kg$

Force of pull is, $F=40\ N$

Frictional force on the block is, $f=8\ N$

The free body diagram of the object is shown below.

From the figure, the net force in the forward direction is given as:

$F_{net}=F-f=40-8=32\ N$

Now, from Newton's second law of motion, net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,

$F_{net}=ma\\32=5a\\a=\frac{32}{5}=6.4\ m/s^2$

Therefore, the acceleration of the object in the forward direction is 6.4 m/s².

A bar magnet is held above the center of a conducting ring in the horizontal plane. The magnet is dropped so it falls lengthwise

Alenkinab [10]

Explanation:

Since, it is given that the magnet drops and falls lengthwise towards the canter of the ring. As a result, change in magnetic flux will occur which tends to induce an electric current in the ring.

Therefore, a magnetic field is also produced by the ring itself which will actually oppose or repel the magnet.

Thus, we can conclude that the falling magnet be repelled by the ring due to the magnetic interaction of the magnet and the ring.
