A certain pair of slits are separated by a distance d. Monochromatic coherent light falls on this pair of slits and the interfer

ence pattern is observed on a screen. The separation distance between adjacent bright fringes near the center of that interference pattern on the screen is found to be 2.0 mm. Then the slits are replaced by another pair of slits; these slits are separated by a distance one-half that of the original pair. The interference pattern is again observed. What is the new separation distance between adjacent bright fringes

Answer:

The new separation distance between adjacent bright fringes will be <u>4 mm</u>

Explanation:

Since, the distance between adjacent bright fringes is given by the formula:

Δx₁ = λL/d = 2 mm  -------- eqn (1)

where,

Δx = Distance between adjacent bright fringes

λ = wavelength of light = constant for both cases

L = Distance between the slits and the screen

d = slit separation

Now, for the second case:

Slit Separation = d/2

Therefore,

Δx₂ = λL/(d/2)

Δx₂ = 2(λL/d)

using eqn (1), we get:

Δx₂ = 2 Δx₁

Δx₂ = 2(2 mm)

<u>Δx₂ = 4 mm</u>

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The answer is "1.144 \times 10^{-4} \ m".

Explanation:

w=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{D}\\\\D=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{w}\\\\

   =\frac{2.44 \times 633 \times 10^{-9}\times 4 }{0.054}\\\\=\frac{6178.08\times 10^{-9}}{0.054}\\\\=1.144 \times 10^{-4} \ m

Two +1 C charges are separated by 30000 m, what is the magnitude of<br> the force?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

<em>The magnitude of the force is 10 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law</u>

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Written as a formula:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

Where:

k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2

q1, q2 = the objects' charge

d= The distance between the objects

We have two identical charges of q1=q2=1 c separated by d=30000 m, thus the magnitude of the force is:

\displaystyle F=9\cdot 10^9\frac{1*1}{30000^2}

\displaystyle F=9\cdot 10^9\frac{1*1}{30000^2}

F = 10 N

The magnitude of the force is 10 N

A student throws a rock upwards. The rock reaches a maximum height 2.4 seconds after it was released.
Allisa [31]

Answer:

23.52 m/s

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Time taken (t) to reach the maximum height = 2.4 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) =..?

At the maximum height, the final velocity (v) is zero. Thus, we can obtain how fast the rock (i.e initial velocity)

was thrown as follow:

v = u – gt (since the rock is going against gravity)

0 = u – (9.8 × 2.4)

0 = u – 23.52

Collect like terms

0 + 23.52 = u

u = 23.52 m/s

Therefore, the rock was thrown at a velocity of 23.52 m/s.
