A single slit is illuminated by light of wavelengths λa and λb, chosen so that the first diffraction minimum of the λa component

coincides with the second minimum of the λb component. (a) If λb = 370 nm, what is λa? For what order number mb (if any) does a minimum of the λb component coincide with the minimum of the λa component in the order number (b) ma = 4 and (c) ma = 5?

Answer:

Explanation:

First minimum of λa will be formed at 1 x λa D/d distance from the centre where D is distance of screen and d is width of slit.

As per given statement

λa D/d = 2 x λb D/d

λa  = 2 x λb

= 2 x 370 nm

= 740 nm

Let ma  th order of λa component coincides with mb the order of λb component

ma λa D/d = mb λb D/d

ma / mb = λb / λa

ma / mb = 1/ 2

mb = 2 ma

if ma = 4

mb = 8

if ma = 5

mb = 10

An Atwood machine consists of two masses, mA = 6.8 kg and mB = 8.0 kg , connected by a cord that passes over a pulley free to ro
Lisa [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concewptos related to Torque, kinetic movement and Newton's second Law.

By definition Newton's second law is described as

F= ma

Where,

m= mass

a = Acceleration

Part A) According to the information (and as can be seen in the attached graph) a sum of forces is carried out in mass B, it is obtained that,

\sum F = m_b a

m_Bg-T_B = m_Ba

T_B = m_Bg-m_Ba

In the case of mass A,

\sum F = m_A a

T_A = m_Ag-m_Aa

Making summation of Torques in the Pulley we have to

\sum\tau = I\alpha

T_BR_0-T_AR_0=I\alpha

T_B-T_A=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}

Replacing the values previously found,

(m_Bg-m_Ba )-(m_Ag-m_Aa )=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}

(m_B-m_A)g-(m_B+m_A)a=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}

a = \frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{I}{R_0^2}+(m_B+m_A)}

a = \frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{MR^2_0^2/2}{R_0^2}+(m_B+m_A)}

a =\frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{M}{2}+(m_B+m_A)}

Replacing with our values

a =\frac{(8-6.8)(9.8)}{\frac{0.8}{2}+(8+6.8)}

a=0.7736m/s^2

PART B) Ignoring the moment of inertia the acceleration would be given by

a' =\frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{(m_B+m_A)}

a' =\frac{(8-6.8)(9.8)}{(8+6.8)}

a' = 0.7945

Therefore the error would be,

\%error = \frac{a'-a}{a}*100

\%error = \frac{0.7945-0.7736}{0.7736}*100

\%error = 2.7%

What four elements composed everything in nature according to the beliefs of the ancient greeks? air, earth, fire, and water air
Nimfa-mama [501]
The ancient Greeks, in a theory that was suggested around 450 BC, believed that everything was from from four elements. These elements included earth, water, air and fire. Later, Aristotle supported this theory.

Therefore, the first option is correct.
