A double-slit arrangement produces bright interference fringes for sodium light ( λ = 603 nm) that are angularly separated by 0.

49° near the center of the pattern. What is the angular fringe separation if the entire arrangement is immersed in water, which has an index of refraction of 1.33?

Answer:

θ for water = 0.3684°

Explanation:

given data

wavelength  λ = 603 nm

angle θ = 0.49°

index of refraction n =  1.33

to find out

angular fringe separation

solution

we know that double slit interference is here

m λ = d sin(θ)    .................1

so for air it will be

m λ(air) = d sin(θ)air        ...........2

and for water it will be

m λ(water) = d sin(θ)water       .............3

now we take here ratio of equation 2 and 3

\frac{\lambda (water)}{\lambda(air)} = \frac{sin(\Theta)water}{sin(\Theta)air}      

and

ratio of wavelength is = \frac{1}{n}

ratio of wavelength  = \frac{1}{1.33}

ratio of wavelength  = 0.75187

so

sin(θ)water = sin(θ)air (0.75187)

sin(θ)water = sin(0.49) (0.75187)

sin(θ)water = 0.006429

so (θ)water  is

(θ)water = 0.3683°

we notice here that by using small angle formula

we have approximate sin(θ) = θ

so θ for water is = \frac{\Theta }{n}

θ for water = \frac{0.49}{1.33}

θ for water = 0.3684°

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Remains the same

Explanation:

The speed of waves of higher and lower frequency both will be same.

the speed of sound in a medium is constant  and independent of it's frequency. Moreover, when the frequency changes wavelength changes accordingly, such that their product remains constant.

we know that

υ×λ = constant = velocity

υ= frequency

λ= wavelength.

Lana71 [14]
<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>
