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

A helium balloon ride lifts up passengers in a basket. Assume the density of air is 1.28 kg/m3 and the density of helium in the
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

V = 381.70 m³

Explanation:

ρ air = 1.28 kg / m³

ρ helium = 0.18 kg / m³

R = 4.5 m

Vb = 0.068 m³

mb = 123 kg

To determine the volume of helium in the balloon when fully inflated

V = 4 / 3 π * R ³

V = 4 * π / 3 ( 4.5 m )³

V = 381.70 m³

To determine the mass total

m = ρ helium * V

m = 0.18 kg / m³  * 381.70  m³

m = 68.70 kg

mt = ( 68.70 + 123 )kg

mt = 191.70 kg

How is voltmeter connected in the circuit to measure the potential difference between two points?
34kurt

Voltmeter is used to find the potential difference between two points.

We always connect it in parallel to the points where we need the potential difference.

Here in order to make the reading accurate we can increase the resistance of voltmeter so that it can not withdraw any current from the circuit.
