A shift of one fringe in the michelson-morley experiment corresponds to a change in the round-trip travel time along one arm of

the interferometer by one period of vibration of light when the apparatus is rotated by 90 degrees. a particular interferometer has arm lengths of 8.50 meters, and is using light with a wavelength of 658 nm. what velocity through the ether would be deduced from a shift of one fringe?

Answer : [tex]v = 59.02\ km/s[/tex]

Explanation :  given that,

Arm length = 8.50 meters

Wavelength = 658 nm

Number of fringe = 1

We know that,

Formula of the speed is

v = c\sqrt\dfrac{N\lambda}{2L}

Now, put the values

v = 3\times10^{8}\ m/s\sqrt\dfrac{1\times658\times10^{-9}\ m}{2\times8.50\ m}

v = 590.21\times10^{2}\ m/s

v = 59.02\ km/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

How do I solve such problem???
labwork [276]

1).  Calculate how long it takes an object to fall 4,000 m after it's dropped. (Use D = (1/2) (g) (T²) .  D is 4,000 m.  g = 9.8 m/s².  Find T .)

2).  Calculate how far the object will move HORIZONTALLY in that length of time, if it's moving at 75 m/s.  (Distance = (75 m/s) x (time) . )

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above
Virty [35]

Answer:

v = 6.95 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A diver is on a board 1.80 m above  the water, s = 1.8 m

The initial speed of the diver, u = 3.62 m/s

Let v is the speed with which she hit the water. It will move under the action of gravity. Using the equation of motion as follows :

v^2-u^2=2gs\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2gs} \\\\v=\sqrt{(3.62)^2+2(9.8)(1.8)} \\\\v=6.95\ m/s

So, she will hit the water with a speed of 6.95 m/s.

Which choice correctly describes what happens during heating?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

During heating actually heat transfer takes place from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature and the heat transfer takes place until both attain the same temperature  

Therefore heat transfer depends on the temperature of the systems

Now while comparing the thermal energies of the systems, if both the systems have same mass then the system which is at higher temperature has greater thermal energy when compared to the system which is at lower temperature

So in this case assuming that both the systems have same mass then the energy will leave the system with greater thermal energy and go into the system with less thermal energy as the system with greater thermal energy in this case will be at higher temperature and we are considering this assumption because thermal energy not only depends on temperature but also depends on mass of the system
