Monochromatic light from a distant source is incident on a slit 0.750 mm wide. On a screen 2.00 m away, the distance from the ce

ntral maximum of the diffraction pattern to the first minimum is measured to be 1.35 mm. Calculate the wavelength of the light.

Answer:

\lambda= 506.25 nm

Explanation:

Diffraction is observed when a wave is distorted by an obstacle whose dimensions are comparable to the wavelength. The simplest case corresponds to the Fraunhofer diffraction, in which the obstacle is a long, narrow slit, so we can ignore the effects of extremes.

This is a simple case, in which we can use the Fraunhofer single slit diffraction equation:

y=\frac{m \lambda D}{a}

Where:

y=Displacement\hspace{3}from\hspace{3} the\hspace{3} centerline \hspace{3}for \hspace{3}minimum\hspace{3} intensity =1.35mm\\\lambda=Light\hspace{3} wavelength \\D=Distance\hspace{3}between\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}screen\hspace{3}and\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}slit=2m\\a=width\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}slit=0.750mm\\m=Order\hspace{3}number=1

Solving for λ:

\lambda=\frac{y*a}{mD}

Replacing the data provided by the problem:

\lambda=\frac{(1.35\times 10^{-3})*(0.750\times 10^{-3})}{1*2} =5.0625\times 10^{-7}m =506.25nm

A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 30.0° above the horizon at 18.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mas
Radda [10]

Answer:

change in momentum, \Delta p=7.65 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

  • \Delta p_x= 6.6251 \,kg.m.s^{-1}
  • \Delta p_y= 3.825 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

Average Force, F=144.3396\,N

  • F_x=125.0018\,N
  • F_y=72.1698\,N

Explanation:

Given:

angle of kicking from the horizon, \theta= 30^{\circ}

velocity of the ball after being kicked, v=18 m.s^{-1}

mass of the ball, m=0.425\, kg

time of application of force, t=5.3\times 10^{-2}\,s

We know, since body is starting from the rest

\Delta p=m.v.....................(1)

\Delta p=0.425\times 18

\Delta p=7.65 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

Now the components:

\Delta p_x= 7.65\times cos 30^{\circ}

\Delta p_x= 6.6251 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

similarly

\Delta p_y= 7.65\times sin 30^{\circ}

\Delta p_y= 3.825 \,kg.m.s^{-1}

also, impulse

I=F\times t.........................(2)

where F is the force applied for t time.

Then from eq. (1) & (2)

F\times t=m.v

F\times 5.3\times 10^{-2}= 7.65

F=144.3396\,N

Now, the components

F_x=144.3396\times cos 30^{\circ}

F_x=125.0018\,N

&

F_y=144.3396\times sin 30^{\circ}

F_y=72.1698\,N

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

τ=0.060 N.m

Explanation:

By kinematics:

\omega f = \omega o-\alpha*t

Solving for α:

\alpha=\frac{\omega o-\omega f}{t}

where ωo = 600*2*π/60;   ωf = 0;    t=10s

\alpha=6.283rad/s^2

The sum of torque is:

\tau=I*\alpha

\tau=M*R^2/2*\alpha

\tau=0.060 N.m
