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

Suppose that two point charges, each with a charge of +1.00 C, are separated by a distance of 1.0 m. If the distance between the
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Given:

The magnitude of each charge is q1 = q2 = 1 C

The distance between them is r = 1 m

To find the force when distance is doubled.

Explanation:

The new distance is

\begin{gathered} r^{\prime}=\text{ 2r} \\ =2\times1 \\ =2\text{ }m \end{gathered}

The force can be calculated by the formula

F=k\frac{q1q2}{(r^{\prime})^2}

Here, k is the constant whose value is

k=9\times10^9\text{ N m}^2\text{ /C}^2

On substituting the values, the force will be

\begin{gathered} F=9\times10^9\times\frac{1\times1}{(2)^2} \\ =2.25\times10^9\text{ N} \end{gathered}

What is the name of the force that is a combination of all forces that act on an object?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object sums upto be zero, then the net force is known as <u>balanced force.</u>

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object is non-zero, then the net force is said to be <u>unbalanced force. </u>The unbalanced force causes the object change the state of rest or motion.

A car has an acceleration of 1.5 m/s2. A net force of 2100 N is acting on the car. What is the mass of the car?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Given

acceleration (a) =1.5ms2

Force(F) =2100N

R. t. c mass (m) =?

Form

F=ma(divided by m both sides)

m=F/a

m=2100/105

m=1400kg

mass of car =1400kg
