You perform a double‑slit experiment in order to measure the wavelength of the new laser that you received for your birthday. Yo

u set your slit spacing at 1.17 mm and place your screen 8.95 m from the slits. Then, you illuminate the slits with your new toy and find on the screen that the tenth bright fringe is 4.57 cm away from the central bright fringe (counted as the zeroth bright fringe). What is your laser's wavelength λ expressed in nanometers?

Answer:

laser's wavelength λ = 597.4 nm

Explanation:

Given:

Slit spacing, d = 1.17mm

Tenth bright fringe y = 4.57cm

Distance from slits, D = 8.95m

n = 10

λ = (d * y) / (D * n)

λ = (1.17x10⁻³ * 4.57x10⁻²) / (8.95 x 10)

λ = 5.3469‬x10⁻⁵ / 8.95x10¹

λ = 0.5974 x 10⁻⁵⁻¹

λ = 0.5974 x 10⁻⁶ m

λ = 597.4 x 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 597.4 nm

a boy looks at the reflection of his digital watch in a plane mirror and thinks the time is 10:11. what is the correct time?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

11:10 will be the time. reflection causes the object to be flipped when you see its image at the mirror

What is the first semiconductor

English "natural philosopher" (the contemporary term for physicist) Michael Faraday is renowned for his discovery of the principles of electro-magnetic induction and electro-magnetic rotation, the interaction between electricity and magnetism that led to the development of the electric motor and generator. The unit of measurement of electrical capacitance - the farad (F) - is named in his honor. Faraday's experimental work in chemistry, which included the discovery of benzene, also led him to the first documented observation of a material that we now call a semiconductor. While investigating the effect of temperature on "sulphurette of silver" (silver sulfide) in 1833 he found that electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperature. This effect, typical of semiconductors, is the opposite of that measured in metals such as copper, where conductivity decreases as temperature is increased. In a chapter entitled "On Conducting Power Generally" in his book Experimental Researches in Electricity Faraday writes "I have lately met with an extraordinary case ... which is in direct contrast with the influence of heat upon metallic bodies ... On applying a lamp ... the conducting power rose rapidly with the heat ... On removing the lamp and allowing the heat to fall, the effects were reversed." We now understand that raising the temperature of most semiconductors increases the density of charge carriers inside them and hence their conductivity. This effect is used to make thermistors - special resistors that exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance (or an increase in conductivity) with an increase in temperature. <span> Next Milestone </span> Contemporary Documents <span> <span>Faraday, M.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

3.71 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum, since we are neglecting minor energy losses due to friction then we can express it as mgh=0.5mv^{2} since all the potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy

Making v the subject of the formula then v=\sqrt {2gh} and here m is the mass of the block, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is the height. Substituting 0.7 m for h and 9.81 for g then we obtain that v=\sqrt {2\times 9.81\times 0.7}=3.705941176 m/s\approx 3.71 m/s
