Answer:
where E = electric field intensity
Explanation:
As we know that plastic ball is suspended by a string which makes 30 degree angle with the vertical
So here force due to electrostatic force on the charged ball is in horizontal direction along the direction of electric field
while weight of the ball is vertically downwards
so here we have
since string makes 30 degree angle with the vertical so we will have
where E = electric field intensity
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
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
Answer:
Explanation: Weight of space probes on earth is given by:
W= weight of the object( in N)
m= mass of the object (in kg)
g=acceleration due to gravity(9.81 )
Therefore,
Similarly,
Now, considering these two parts as uniform spherical objects
Also, according to Superposition principle, gravitational net force experienced by an object is sum of all individual forces on the object.
Force between these two objects is given by:
G= gravitational constant ()
= masses of the object
R= distance between their centres (in m)(18 m)
Substituiting all these values into the above formula
This is the magnitude of force experienced by each part in the direction towards the other part, i.e the gravitational force is attractive in nature.

3.The results from part 1 and 2 agree when r = R.
Explanation:
The volume charge density is given as
We will investigate this question in two parts. First r < R, then r > R. We will show that at r = R, the solutions to both parts are equal to each other.
1. Since the cylinder is very long, Gauss’ Law can be applied.
The enclosed charge can be found by integrating the volume charge density over the inner cylinder enclosed by the imaginary Gaussian surface with radius ‘r’. The integration of E-field in the left-hand side of the Gauss’ Law is not needed, since E is constant at the chosen imaginary Gaussian surface, and the area integral is
where ‘h’ is the length of the imaginary Gaussian surface.
2. For r> R, the total charge of the enclosed cylinder is equal to the total charge of the cylinder. So,
3. At the boundary where r = R:
As can be seen from above, two E-field values are equal as predicted.
