After a laser bean passes through two thin parallel slits, thefirst completely dark fringes occur at ± 15.00with the original di

rection of the beam, as veiwed on a screen farfrom the slits.
(a) What is the ratio of the distance between the slits to thewavelength of the light illuminating the slits?
(b) What is the smallest angle, relative to original directionof the laser beam, at which the intensity of the light is 1/10 themaximum intensity on the screen?

Answer:

143 °

Explanation:

a ) If d be the distance between slits , λ be wavelength of light used and at angle θ nth dark fringe is formed then

d sinθ = ( 2n+1) λ/2

for first dark fringe

d sinθ = λ/2

d /λ = 1/ 2 sinθ

1 / 2 sin15

= 1.93

b )

For intensity of fringe at angle θ,  the relation is

I = I₀ cos²θ

I / I₀  = cos²θ/2

Given I / I₀ =0. 1

0.1 = cos²θ/2

θ/2 = 71.5

θ = 143 °

The drag on a pitched baseball can be surprisingly large. Suppose a 145 g baseball with a diameter of 7.4 cm has an initial spee
kupik [55]

Answer:

<h2>Part A)</h2><h2>Acceleration of the ball is 10.1 m/s/s</h2><h2>Part B)</h2><h2>the final speed of the ball is given as</h2><h2>v_f = 35.3 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that drag force is given as

F = \frac{C_d \rho A v^2}{2}

C_d = 0.35

A = \frac{\pi d^2}{4}

A = \frac{\pi(0.074)^2}{4}

A = 4.3 \times 10^{-3} m^2

v = 40.2 m/s

so we have

F = \frac{0.35\times 1.2 (4.3 \times 10^{-3})(40.2)^2}{2}

F = 1.46 N

So acceleration of the ball is

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = \frac{1.46}{0.145}

a = 10.1 m/s^2

Part B)

As per kinematics we know that

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_f^2 - 40.2^2 = 2(-10.1)(18.4)

v_f = 35.3 m/s

Which of the following accurately describes the behavior of water when subject to temperature change? A. The volume of water wil
nata0808 [166]

Choices 'C' and 'D' are both correct.

(Except in 'C', changing the temperature from 1°C to 3°C is not usually
described as 'cooling', and it's not the water's 'mass' that changes.  But
water does contract in volume during that change.)

A CFL bulb has an efficiency of 8.9% and a power of 22 W. How much light energy does the lightbulb produce in 1 second
hjlf
The power that the light is able to utilize out of the supply is only 0.089 of the given.
                           Power utilized = (0.089)(22 W)
                                                  = 1.958 W
                                                  = 1.958 J/s
The energy required in this item is the product of the power utilized and the time. That is,
                           Energy = (1.958 J/s)(1 s) = 1.958 J
Thus, the light energy that the bulb is able to produce is approximately 1.958 J.

What are (a) the energy of a photon corresponding to wavelength 6.0 nm, (b) the kinetic energy of an electron with de Broglie wa
dlinn [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 6.0 nm

de Broglie wavelength = 6.0 nm

(a). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-9}}

E=3.315\times10^{-17}\ J

(b).  We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}

E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-9})^2}

E=6.709\times10^{-21}\ J

(c). We need to calculate the energy of photon

Using formula of energy

E = \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

E=\dfrac{6.63\times10^{-34}\times3\times10^{8}}{6.0\times10^{-15}}

E=3.315\times10^{-11}\ J

(d). We need to calculate the kinetic energy of an electron

Using formula of kinetic energy

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2mE}}

E=\dfrac{h^2}{2m\lambda^2}

Put the value into the formula

E=\dfrac{(6.63\times10^{-34})^2}{2\times9.1\times10^{-31}\times(6.0\times10^{-15})^2}

E=6.709\times10^{-9}\ J

Hence, This is the required solution.
