What is the smallest separation between two slits that will produce a second-order minimum for 762 nm red light?

Physics
1 answer:
ipn [44]3 years ago

Answer:

1524 nm.

Explanation:

Angular separation of n th minima is given by the expression

Sin θ = n λ / a

Where λ is wavelength of light used and a is separation between two slits .

a = n λ / sin θ

For a to be minimum, sinθ has to be maximum .

maximum value of sin of any angle is 1 .

so the relation becomes as follows

a = n λ

n = 2 , λ = 762 nm.

a = 2 x 762 nm

= 1524 nm.

How much heat must be added to make a 5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC that has its temperature go up 10 degrees? Q =
zlopas [31]

Answer:

100 Joule

Explanation:

Amount of heat in agiven body is given by Q = m•C•ΔT

where m is the mass of the body

c is the specific heat capacity of body. It is the amount of heat stored in 1 unit weight of body which raises raises the temperature of body by 1 unit of temperature.

ΔT is the change in the temperature of body

___________________________________________

coming back to problem

m = 5g

C = 2J/gC

since, it is given that temperature of body increases by 10 degrees, thus

ΔT = 10 degrees

Using the formula for heat as given

Q = m•C•ΔT

Q = 5* 2 * 10  Joule= 100 Joule

Thus, 100 joule heat must be added to  a  5g substance with a specific heat of 2 J/gC to raise its temperature go up by 10 degrees.

Three forces are applied to a solid cylinder of mass 12 kg (see the drawing). The magnitudes of the forces are F1 = 15 N, F2 = 2
crimeas [40]

Answer:

α = 13.7 rad / s²

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law for rotational motion

         ∑ τ = I α

         

we will assume that the counterclockwise turns are positive

         F₁  0 + F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃ = I α

give us the cylinder moment of inertia

        I = ½ M R₂²

         

        α = (F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃)  \frac{2}{M R_2^2}

let's calculate

        α = (24  0.22 - 13  0.10) \frac{2}{12 \ 0.22^2}2/12 0.22²

        α = 13.7 rad / s²

likoan [24]

Answer: 1175 J

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that "the strain in a solid is proportional to the applied stress within the elastic limit of that solid."

Given

Spring constant, k = 102 N/m

Extension of the hose, x = 4.8 m

from the question, x(f) = 0 and x(i) = maximum elongation = 4.8 m

Work done =

W = 1/2 k [x(i)² - x(f)²]

Since x(f) = 0, then

W = 1/2 k x(i)²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 4.8²

W = 1/2 * 102 * 23.04

W = 1/2 * 2350.08

W = 1175.04

W = 1175 J

Therefore, the hose does a work of exactly 1175 J on the balloon
