A screen is placed 1.20m behind a single slit. The central maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern on the screen is 1.40cm

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2.8 cm

Explanation:

$y_1$ = Separation between two first order diffraction minima = 1.4 cm

D = Distance of screen = 1.2 m

m = Order

Fringe width is given by

$\beta_1=\dfrac{y_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=\dfrac{1.4}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=0.7\ cm$

Fringe width is also given by

$\beta_1=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}$

For second order

$\beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1$

Distance between two second order minima is given by

$y_2=2\beta_2$

$\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.7\\\Rightarrow y_2=2.8\ cm$

The distance between the two second order minima is 2.8 cm

What happens to its surface temperature as a star changes color from red to blue

MAVERICK [17]

The surface temperature of the star increases when it changes its colour changes from red to blue.
Blue>white>yellow>orange>red
The given series is the temperature decreasing order of stars. Now our sun is considered as a yellow star.

If a car is traveling forward at 15 m/s, how fast will it be going in 1.2 seconds if the acceleration is

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

v = v⁰ (its original speed) + a (negative acceleration) X t² (time)

v = 15 - 10 x 1.2 = 15 - 12 = 3 (it's slowing down)

Sam receives the kicked football on the 3 yd line and runs straight ahead toward the goal line before cutting to the right at th

Pie

Answer:

Distance: 21 yd, displacement: 15 yd, gain in the play: 12 yd

Explanation:

The distance travelled by Sam is just the sum of the length of each part of Sam's motion, regardless of the direction. Initially, Sam run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line, so (15-3)=12 yd. Then, he run also 9 yd to the right. Therefore, the total distance is

d = 12 + 9 = 21 yd

The displacement instead is a vector connecting the starting point with the final point of the motion. Sam run first 12 yd straight ahead and then 9 yd to the right; these two motions are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the displacement simply by using Pythagorean's theorem:

$d=\sqrt{12^2+9^2}=15 yd$

Finally, the yards gained by Sam in the play are simply given by the distance covered along the forward-backward direction only. Since Sam only run from the 3 yd line to the 15 yd line along this direction, then the gain in this play was

d = 15 - 3 = 12 yd
