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 you mean by momentum? avehicle is runing with a velocity of 5m/s. it the momentum of the vehicle is 5000kg m/s. what is
Fantom [35]
Momentum is simply a quantity that measures the impact of a moving body over something is due to the mass it posseses or the velocity with which it is moving. Mathematically,ut is the product of mass and velocity of a body. It is represented by capital p...(P) P=mv Solution to the problem: we know P=mv For mass,eliminate m from the equation, m=P/v Put values, m=5000/5=1000kg

how much force is needed to move a brick with a mass of 345-kg a distance of 28m while doing 1008 j of work?
Travka [436]

    Work = (force) x (distance)

     1,008 J  =  (force) x (28 m)

Divide each side by 28m  :    (1,008 kg-m²/sec²) / (28 m)  =  force

                                           Force =  36 kg-m/s²  =  36 Newtons .
                                                                      (about 8.1 pounds)

It doesn't matter what that force accomplishes.
It could be moving a brick, lifting a fish, or pushing a little red wagon.
In order to do 1,008 joules of work in 28 meters, it takes 36 N of force,
in the direction of the 28 meters.
