8 0

Answer:

0.00001 %

Explanation:

The distance from satellite = 20000 km

Position range = 2 m

The percentage uncertainty is given by dividing the distance from satellite by the position range of desired accuracy.

Percentage uncertainty is given by

\dfrac{2}{20000\times 10^3}\times 100=0.00001\ \%

The percentage uncertainty that is required is 0.00001 %

Young's experiment is performed with light of wavelength 502 nm from excited helium atoms. Fringes are measured carefully on a s
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

wave length of light λ = 502 nm

screen distance D = 1.2 m

width of one fringe = 10.2 mm / 20

= .51 mm

fringe width = λ D / a  , a is separation of slits

Puting the values given

.51 x 10⁻³ =  502 x 10⁻⁹ x 1.2 / a

a = 502 x 10⁻⁹ x 1.2 / .51 x 10⁻³

= 1181.17 x 10⁻⁶ m

1.18 x 10⁻³ m

= 1.18 mm .
