f 720-nm and 620-nm light passes through two slits 0.68 mm apart, how far apart are the second-order fringes for these two wavel
valkas [14]

Answer:

0.0003 m = 0.3 mm

Explanation:

For constructive interference in the Young's experiment.

The position of the mth fringe from the central fringe is given by

y = L(mλ/d)

λ = wavelength = 720 nm = 720 × 10⁻⁹ m

L = distance between slits and screen respectively = 1.0 m

d = separation of slits = 0.68 mm = 0.68 × 10⁻³ m

m = 2

y = 1(2 × 720 × 10⁻⁹/(0.68 × 10⁻³) = 0.00212 m = 2.12 mm

For the 620 nm light,

y = 1(2 × 620 × 10⁻⁹/(0.68 × 10⁻³) = 0.00182 m = 1.82 mm

Distance apart = 2.12 - 1.82 = 0.3 mm = 0.0003 m

A weather balloon is designed to expand to a maximum radius of 24 m at its working altitude, where the air pressure is 0.030 atm
nlexa [21]

Answer:

<em>Radius at liftoff 8.98 m</em>

Explanation:

At the working altitude;

maximum radius = 24 m

air pressure = 0.030 atm

air temperature = 200 K

At liftoff;

temperature = 349 K

pressure = 1 atm

radius = ?

<em>First, we assume balloon is spherical in nature,</em>

<em>and that the working gas obeys the gas laws.</em>

from the radius, we can find the volume of the balloon at working atmosphere.

Volume of a sphere = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

volume of balloon = \frac{4}{3} x 3.142 x 24^{3} = 57913.34 m^3

using the gas equation,

\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}

<em>The subscript 1 indicates the properties of the gas at working altitude, and the subscript 2 indicates properties of the gas at liftoff.</em>

imputing values, we have

\frac{0.03*57913.34}{200} = \frac{1*V2}{349}

0.03 x 57913.34 x 349 = 200V2

V2 = 606352.67/200 = <em>3031.76 m^3  this is the volume occupied by the gas in the balloon at liftoff.</em>

from the formula volume of a sphere,

V =  \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} =  \frac{4}{3} x 3.142 x r^{3} = 3031.76

4.19r^{3}  = 3031.76

r^{3} = 3031.76/4.19  

radius r of the balloon on liftoff = \sqrt[3]{723.57} = <em>8.98 m</em>

Two masses of size m and 4m are connected by a massless thread and are strung over a frictionless pulley of radius R and moment-
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl

Explanation:

Given two masses: m and 4m.

Since the pulley is frictionless and the thread is massless, the energy here is linked to the two masses.

Total kinetic energy of entire system = decrease in gravitational potential energy of the system.

Therefore, we have :

ΔKE = Δp

ΔKE = 4mgl - mgl

= 3 mgl

Total kinetic energy of entire system is 3 mgl
