Light with a wavelength of λ = 614 nm is shone first on a single slit of width w = 3.75 μm. The single slit is then replaced wit

h a double slit separated by a distance w. The ratio of the single slit angle to the double slit angle for the first dark fringe is Rθ.Find the ratio between these angles numerically.

Answer:

The ratio, R_{\theta} is 2

Solution:

As per the question:

Wavelength, \lambda = 614\ nm = 614\times 10^{- 9}\ m

Single slit width, w = 3.75\ mu m

Now,

We know from the eqn for diffraction:

n\lambda = wsin\theta

Now,

For single slit:

n = 1

\lambda = wsin\theta_{s}

sin\theta = \frac{\lambda}{w}

For very small angle:

sin\theta ≈ \theta

\theta = \frac{\lambda}{w}              (1)

For double slit:

n = 2

Thus

2\lambda = wsin\theta_{s}

sin\theta' = \frac{\lambda}{2w}

For very small angle:

sin\theta ≈ \theta

\theta' = \frac{\lambda}{2w}             (2)

For the ratio, R_{\theta}, we divide en (1) by eqn (2):

R_{\theta} = \frac{\frac{\lambda}{w}}{\frac{\lambda}{2w}} = 2

What do we mean when we say that energy levels are quantized in atoms?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Electrons are located in specific orbit corresponding to discrete energy levels

Explanation:

In Bohr's model of the atom, electron orbit the nucleus in specific levels, each of them corresponding to a specific energy. The electrons cannot be located in the space between two levels: this means that only some values of energy are possible for the electrons, so the energy levels are quantized.

A confirmation of Bohr's model is found in the spectrum of emission of gases. In fact, when an electron jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level, it emits a photon whose energy is exactly equal to the difference in energy between the two levels: since the energy levels are discrete, this means that the emitted photons cannot have any value of wavelength, but also their wavelength will appear as a discrete spectrum. This is exactly what it is observed in the spectrum of emission of gases.

(a) What is the entropy change of a 14.6 g ice cube that melts completely in a bucket of water whose temperature is just above t
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

a) 17.81 J/K

b) 33.325 J/K

Explanation:

The expression to use here is the following:

ΔS = Q/T

Where:

Q: heat released or absorbed

T: Temperature in K

Now, in order to do this, we need to gather the data. We know that the temperature in part a) is above the freezing temperature of water, which is 0 ° C or 273 K. and the mass of the ice cube is 14.6 g.

a) Using the water heat of fusion (Cause it's melting), we can calculated the heat released using the following expression:

Q = m * Lf

Lf = 333,000 J/kg

Solving for Q first we have:

Q = (14.6 / 1000) * 333,000

Q = 4,861.8 J

Now, the entropy change is:

ΔS = 4,861.8 / 273

ΔS = 17.81 J/K

b) In this part, we follow the same procedure than in part a) but using the water heat of boiling (Lv = 2,256,000 J/kg), the temperature of boiling which is 100 °C (or 373 K) and the mass of 5.51 g (0.00551 kg)

Calculating the heat:

Q = 0.00551 * 2,256,000 = 12,430.56 J

Now the entropy change:

ΔS = 12,430.56 / 373

ΔS = 33.325 J/K

A 95 kg clock initially at rest on a horizontal floor
Nataly [62]

Answer:

You are given that the mass of the clock M is 95 kg.

This is true whether the clock is in motion or not.

Fs is the frictional force required to keep the clock from moving.

Thus Fk = uk W = uk M g      the force required to move clock at constant speed.     (the kinetic frictional force)

uk = 560 N / 931 N = .644   since the weight of the clock is 931 N  (95 * 9.8)

us  is the frictional force requited to start the clock moving

us = static frictional force = 650 / 931 -= .698
