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 1.11 mm and place your screen 8.63 m from the slits. Then, you illuminate the slits with your new toy and find on the screen that the tenth bright fringe is 4.71 cm away from the central bright fringe (counted as the zeroth bright fringe). What is your laser's wavelength lambda expressed in nanometers?

Answer:

 λ = 605.80 nm

Explanation:

These double-slit experiments the equation for constructive interference is

          d sin θ = m λ

where d is the distance between the slits, λ the wavelength of light and m an integer that determines the order of interference.

In this case, the distance between the slits is d = 1.11 mm = 1.11 10⁻³ m, the distance to the screen is L = 8.63 m, the range number m = 10 and ay = 4.71 cm

Let's use trigonometry to find the angle

         tan θ = y / L

as the angles are very small

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

we substitute

         sin θ = y / L

we substitute in the first equation

         d y / L = m λ          

          λ = d y / m L

let's calculate

           λ = 1.11 10⁻³ 4.71 10⁻²/ (10 8.63)

           λ = 6.05805 10⁻⁷ m

let's reduce to nm

          λ = 6.05805 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1m)

          λ = 605.80 nm

A wheel turns through 5.5 revolutions while being accelerated from rest at 20rpm/s.(a) What is the final angular speed ? (b) How
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

(a) The final angular speed is 12.05 rad/s

(b) The time taken to turn 5.5 revolutions is 5.74 s

Explanation:

Given;

number of revolutions, θ = 5.5 revolutions

acceleration of the wheel, α = 20 rpm/s

number of revolutions in radian is given as;

θ = 5.5 x 2π = 34.562 rad

angular acceleration in rad/s² is given as;

\alpha = \frac{20 \ rev}{min} *\frac{1}{s} *(\frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev } *\frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}) \\\\\alpha = 2.1 \ rad/s^2

(a)

The final angular speed is given as;

\omega _f^2 = \omega_i ^2 + 2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f^2 = 0 +  2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f^2 =   2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f = \sqrt{2\alpha \theta}\\\\ \omega _f  = \sqrt{2(2.1) (34.562)}\\\\ \omega _f = 12.05 \ rad/s

(b) the time taken to turn 5.5 revolutions is given as

\omega _f = \omega _i + \alpha t\\\\12.05 = 0 + 2.1t\\\\t = \frac{12.05}{2.1} \\\\t = 5.74 \ s

In a carnival booth, you can win a stuffed giraffe if you toss a quarter into a small dish. the dish is on a shelf above the poi
Georgia [21]

components of the speed of the coin is given as

v_x = v cos60

v_x = 6.4 cos60 = 3.2 m/s

v_y = vsin60

v_y = 6.4 sin60 = 5.54 m/s

now the time taken by the coin to reach the plate is given by

t = \frac{\delta x}{v_x}

t = \frac{2.1}{3.2}

t = 0.656 s

now in order to find the height

h = vy * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

h = 5.54 * 0.656 - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*(0.656)^2

h = 1.52 m

so it is placed at 1.52 m height

What is the total resistance in the circuit? (include unit in answer - ohms)
solmaris [256]

Answer:60 ohms

Explanation:

R1=30 ohms

R2=15 ohms

R3=15 ohms

Let the total resistance be R

R=R1 + R2 + R3

R=30 + 15 +15

R=60

Total resistance is 60 ohms
