For a demonstration, a professor uses a razor blade to cut a thin slit in a piece of aluminum foil. When she shines a laser poin

ter (λ=680nm) through the slit onto a screen 5.5 m away, a diffraction pattern appears. The bright band in the center of the pattern is 8.0 cm wide. What is the width of the slit?

Answer: 4.675×10^-6 m

Explanation: this is a question under the pattern gotten from an interference experiment.

The formulae below defines the experiment given

y = Rmλ/d

Where y = distance between the center fringe and any other fringe in the pattern = 8cm = 0.08m

m = position of fringe = 1 ( this is because we have only one central band)

λ = wavelength of light used for experiment = 680nm = 6.8×10^-7m

d = width of slit =?

R = distance between slits and screen = 5.5 cm = 0.055m

By substituting the parameters, we have that

0.08 = 0.055 × 1 × 6.8×10^-7/d

By cross multiplying, we have that

0.08 × d = 0.055 × 1 × 6.8×10^-7

d = 0.055 × 1 × 6.8×10^-7/ 0.08

d = 3.74 × 10^-7/ 0.08

d = 46.75×10^-7

d = 4.675×10^-6 m

Vesna [10]

Answer:

Number of turns per unit length will be n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m

Explanation:

We have given that strength of the magnetic field produced by the solenoid B = 7 T

Current in the solenoid i = 200 A

Let the number of turns per unit length is n

Magnetic field due to solenoid is given as B=\mu ni here \mu is permeability of free space n is number of turns per unit length and i is current

So 7=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times  n\times 200

n=2.786\times 10^4turns/m

At a certain instant, a rotating turbine wheel of radius RR has angular speed ωω (measured in rad/srad/s). What must be the magn
jonny [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnitude of the acceleration makes an angle of 30° with the tangential velocity.

Resolving the acceleration to tangential and radial acceleration

at = aCos30 = √3a/2

ar = aSin30 = ½a

a = 2•ar

Then, the tangential acceleration is the linear acceleration, so the relationship between the tangential acceleration and angular acceleration is given as:

at = Rα

Then, α = at/R

since at = √3a/2

Then, α = √3 at/2R, equation 1

The radial acceleration is given as

ar = ω²R

Note that, at² + ar² = a²

at = √(a²-ar²)

Back to equation 1

α = √3 at/2R

α = √3√(a²-ar²)/2R

α = √3√(a²-(w²R)²)/2R

α = √3(a²-w⁴R²) / 2R

Also, a = 2•ar = 2w²R

Then,

α = √3((2w²R)²-w⁴R²) / 2R

α = √3(4w⁴R²-w⁴R²) / 2R

α = √3(3w⁴R²) / 2R

α = √9w⁴R² / 2R

α = 3w²R / 2R

α = 3w²/2

How does a laser work?
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

A laser is created when the electrons in atoms in special glasses, crystals, or gases absorb energy from an electrical current or another laser and become “excited.” The excited electrons move from a lower-energy orbit to a higher-energy orbit around the atom's nucleus.

Use the claim to answer the question.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Scientific evidence such as reflection and photoelectric effect has proven the wave-particle model of electromagnetic radiation to be true.

<h3>What is electromagnet radiation?</h3>

Electromagnetic radiation is radiation produced as a result of the interactions of the electric and magnetic fields.

Some forms of electromagnetic radiation include:

  • radio waves
  • microwaves
  • ultraviolet radiation
  • visible light

Electromagnetic radiation can be described using a wave model or a particle model.

The wave property of electromagnetic radiation include:

  • diffraction
  • reflection
  • refraction

The particle property of electromagnetic radiation include:

  • photoelectric effect
  • Compton effect.

Therefore, the wave-particle model of electromagnetic radiation is correct because it can be backed up by experiments and evidence.
