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

On a rectangle with length 100 m, width 50m and 2 vehicles stationed together. Find the time that they meet given that car A tra
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

T=35.625sec

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Length L=100 m

Width W=50m

Velocity of Car A V_A=5m/s

Velocity of Car B V_B=3m/s

Distance traveled by car A before car B moves

d_l=5*3

d_l=15

Therefore total distance traveled at same time interval

D=total\ distance-d_l

Where

Total distance=Perimeter of rectangle

P=2(L+B)

P=2(100+50)

P=300

Therefore

D=total\ distance-d_l

D=300-15\\D=285m

Generally the equation for time taken to meet is mathematically given by

T=\frac{Distance D}{Relative\ speed V_r}

Where

Relative speed = Speed of car A +Speed of car B

V_r=V_A+V_B

V_r=5+3

V_r=8m/s

Therefore the time taken to meet

T=\frac{ D}{ V_r}

T=\frac{ 285}{ 8}

T=35.625sec

What was the hiker's total displacement?<br>A.24 km  B.4 km north  C.14 km northeast  D.0 km
kipiarov [429]
We can see it as two movements: one on the north-south axis and one on the west-east axis.

On the north-south Axis, the hiker went 8 km north and 4 km south, so in total the hiker went 4 km north (we can subtract one for the other and the direction remains that which was bigger)

On the west-easth Axis, the hiker went 6 km east and 6 km west, so in total the hiker  didn't move on this axis! or, he/she moved but then "came back"

So in total, the hiker only moved4 km north - answer B.

What happens to an electromagnetic wave when the frequency is doubled?
Artist 52 [7]
The product of (frequency) times (wavelength) is always
the same number (the speed of the wave). 

So if the frequency is doubled, the wavelength has to drop to
half of what it was, in order to keep their product constant.
