In a Young's double-slit experiment, a set of parallel slits with a separation of 0.142 mm is illuminated by light having a wave

length of 576 nm and the interference pattern observed on a screen 3.50 m from the slits. (a) What is the difference in path lengths from the two slits to the location of a fourth order bright fringe on the screen? μm (b) What is the difference in path lengths from the two slits to the location of the fourth dark fringe on the screen, away from the center of the pattern? μm

Answer:

1.152\ \mu m

1.44\ \mu m

Explanation:

d = Gap between slits = 0.142 mm

\lambda = Wavelength of light = 576 nm

L = Distance between light and screen = 3.5 m

m = Order = 2

Difference in path length is given by

\delta=dsin\theta=m\lambda\\\Rightarrow \delta=2\times 576\times 10^{-9}\\\Rightarrow \delta=0.000001152\ m\\\Rightarrow \delta=1.152\times 10^{-6}\ m=1.152\ \mu m

The difference in path lengths is 1.152\ \mu m

For dark fringe the difference in path length is given by

\delta=(m+\dfrac{1}{2})\lambda\\\Rightarrow \delta=(2+\dfrac{1}{2})\times 576\times 10^{-9}\\\Rightarrow \delta=0.00000144\ m=1.44\ \mu m

The difference in path length is 1.44\ \mu m

If a car changes ita velocity from 32km/hr to 54km/hr in 8.0 seconds, what is its acceleration
Andrews [41]
Firstly, let's convert the velocities in km/hr to m/s
32*1000/3600=8.89m/s
54*1000/3600=15m/s
From the formula, acceleration=V-U/t
15-8.89/8=0.76m/s²
hope this helps.

A 2.50-m segment of wire carries 1000 A current and feels a 4.00-N repulsive force from a parallel wire 5.00 cm away. What is th
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The current is  I_b  =  400 \ A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  length of the segment is  l  =  2.50  \  m

     The current is  I_a  =  1000 \ A

     The force felt is  F  =  4.0 \  N

        The distance of the second wire is  d =  5.0 \ cm  = 0.05 \  m

Generally the current on the second wire is mathematically represented as

        I_b  =  \frac{2 \pi * r * F }{ l *  \mu_o  *  I_a }

Here  \mu_o is the permeability of free space with value  \mu_o =  4 \pi * 10^{-7} \ N/A^2

=>      I_b  =  \frac{2 * 3.142  *  0.05 *  4 }{ 2.50  *  4\pi *10^{-7}  * 1000 }

=>      I_b  =  400 \ A
