Monochromatic light of wavelength λ illuminates a pair of thin parallel slits of width a separated by a distance d at normal inc

idence, producing an interference pattern on a distant screen. a) (10 points) Explain two modifications to the experiment which would cause the maxima (bright spots) of the diffraction pattern to move away from the center. b) (10 points) Explain two modifications to the experiment which would cause the minima (dark spots) of the interference pattern to move towards the center.

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) If x be the position of n the bright fringe on the screen , following formula holds .

x = n (λD / d) ; λ is wave length , D is screen distance and d is slit separation .

If we increase the value of λ or  wave length, x will increase so central fringe along with all the fringes will shift away from the centre .

If we increase the value of D or screen distance , it will also increase x ,  so fringes along with central fringe  will shift away from the center.

b ) Fringes ,whether bright or dark , both shift together , either towards or away from the center .

So to move the dark spots towards the center , we need to do the opposite to what we did in the first case , ie decrease the wavelength or decrease the screen distance .

irinina [24]

The speed of the second satellite is less than the speed of the first satellite.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The speed of any moving object is the ratio of the distance covered and the time taken to cover that distance.

Given is a satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet. A second satellite is placed in a different circular orbit that is farther away from the same planet.

When the distance from the center of the orbit increases, the time to complete the orbit will be greater.

Thus, the speed of the second satellite is less than the speed of the first satellite.

Learn more about speed.

Assume that the function x(t) represents the length of tape that has unwound as a function of time. find θ(t), the angle through
bekas [8.4K]
We know that arc length (x(t)) is given with the following formula:
x(t)=\theta(t) r
Where r is the radius of the barrel. We must keep in mind that as barrel rolls its radius decreases because less and less tape is left on it.
If we say that the thickness of the tape is D then with every full circle our radius shrinks by d. We can write this down mathematically:
r(\theta)=r_0-\frac{D\cdot \theta}{2\pi}
When we plug this back into the first equation we get:
x(t)=\theta(r_0-\frac{D\theta}{2\pi}})\\ \frac{D\theta^2}{2\pi}-\theta r_0+x(t)=0\\
We must solve this quadratic equation.
The final solution is:
\theta=\frac{\pi r_0+\sqrt{\pi \left(-2Dx(t)+\pi r_0^2\right)}}{D},\:\theta=\frac{\pi r_0-\sqrt{\pi \left(-2Dx(t)+\pi r_0^2\right)}}{D}
It is rather complicated solution. If we asume that the tape has no thickness we get simply:
x(t)=\theta(r_0-\frac{D\theta}{2\pi}});D=0\\&#10;x(t)=\theta r_0\\&#10;\theta(t)=\frac{x(t)}{r_0}

ONLINE CALCULATOR .A force of 187 pounds makes an angle of 73 degrees 36 ' with a second force. The resultant of the two forces
saul85 [17]

Answer:

The magnitudes of the second force is   Z = 129.9 N

The magnitudes of the  resultant force is   R = 256.047 N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

    The force is  F = 187 \ lb

     The angle made with second force \theta_o = 73 ^o 36' =  73 + \frac{36}{60}  =  73.6^o

     The angle between the resultant force and the first force \theta _1  = 29 ^o 1 ' = 29 + \frac{1}{60}  = 29.0167^o

For us to solve problem we are going to assume that

     The magnitude of the second force is  Z N

     The magnitude of the resultant force is R N

According to Sine rule

                \frac{F}{sin (\theta _o - \theta_1 }  = \frac{Z}{\theta _1}

Substituting values

             \frac{187}{sin(73.3 - 29.01667)} =\frac{Z}{sin (29.01667)}  

             267.82 =\frac{Z}{0.4851}  

              Z = 129.9 N

According to cosine rule

       R = \sqrt{F ^2 + Z^2 + 2(F) (Z) cos (\theta _o) }

Substituting values

     R = \sqrt{187^2 + 129.9 ^2  + 2 (187 ) (129.9) cos (73.6)}

     R = 256.047 N
