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>

hammer [34]

Answer:

a_M=1.92a_A

Explanation:

\omega_M=\omega_A = Angular speed

r_M = Distance of Mary = 11.5 ft

r_A = Distance of Alex = 6 ft

Ratio of centripetal acceleration is given by

\dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{\omega_M^2r_M}{\omega_A^2r_A}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a_M}{a_A}=\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=a_A\dfrac{r_M}{r_A}\\\Rightarrow a_M=\dfrac{11.5}{6}a_A\\\Rightarrow a_M=1.92a_A

Mary's centripetal acceleration is 1.92 times the centripetal acceleration of Alex

One of the important waste products of photosynthesis is oxygen gas. Where does this oxygen gas come from?
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

End product of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process that plants undergo in the manufacture of their food. This is done in the presence of sunlight which is trapped by their coloring pigment called chlorophyll and reactants such as Carbon dioxide and Water.

6CO2+6H2O= C6H12O6+ 6O2

The oxygen gas which is a waste product of photosynthesis is released into the atmosphere and used by animals in respiration.

Unpolarized light with an average intensity of 845 W/m2 moves along the x-axis when it enters a Polarizer A with a vertical tran
horsena [70]

Answer:

θ = 36.2º

Explanation:

When light passes through a polarizer it becomes polarized and if it then passes through a second polarizer, it must comply with Malus's law

         I = I₀ cos² tea

The non-polarized light between the first polarized of this leaves half the intensity, with vertical polarization

          I₁ = I₀ / 2

          I₁ = 845/2

          I₁ = 422.5 W / m²

In this case, the incident light in the second polarizer has an intensity of I₁ = 422.5 W / m² and the light that passes through the polarizer has a value of

I = 275 W / m ²

      Cos² θ = I / I₁

      Cos θ = √ I / I₁

      Cos θ = √ (275 / 422.5)

     Cos θ = 0.80678

     θ = cos⁻¹ 0.80678

     θ = 36.2º

This is the angle between the two polarizers
