Answer:

<h2> 1.643*10⁻⁴cm</h2>

Explanation:

In a single slit experiment, the distance on a screen from the centre point is expressed as y = \frac{\delta m \lambda d}{a} where;

\delta m is the first two diffraction minima = 1

\lambda is light wavelength

d is the distance of diffraction pattern from the screen

a is the width of the slit

Given \lambda = 460-nm = 460*10⁻⁹m

d = 5.0mm = 5*10⁻³m

a = 1.4mm = 1.4*10⁻³m

Substituting this values into the formula above to get width of the central maximum y;

y = 1*460*10⁻⁹ * 5*10⁻³/1.4*10⁻³

y = 2300*10⁻¹²/1.4*10⁻³

y = 1642.86*10⁻⁹

y = 1.643*10⁻⁶m

Converting the final value to cm,

since 100cm = 1m

x = 1.643*10⁻⁶m

x = 1.643*10⁻⁶ * 100

x = 1.643*10⁻⁴cm

Hence, the width of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern on a screen 5.0 mm away is  1.643*10⁻⁴cm

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Amplitude = 0.058m

Frequency = 6.25Hz

Explanation:

Given

Amplitude (A) = 8.26 x 10-2 m

Frequency (f) = 4.42Hz

Conversation of energy before split

½mv² = ½KA²

Make A the subject of formula

A = v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

Conversation of energy after split

½(m/2)V'² = ½(m/2)V² = ½KA'²

½(m/2)V² = ½KA'²

Make A the subject of formula

First divide both sides by ½

(m/2)V² = KA'²

Divide both sides by K

\frac{m}{2K}V² = A'²

v\sqrt{\frac{m}{2k} } = A'

Substitute v\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } for A in the above equation

A' = A/√2

A' = 8.26 x 10^-2/√2

A' = 0.05840702012600882

Amplitude after split = 0.058 (Approximated)

Frequency (f') = f√2

f' = 4.42√2

f' = 6.25082394568908011

Frequency after split = 6.25Hz (approximated)
