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

A 2.40 μC charge is subject to a 3.00 mN force due to an Electric Field. What is the magnitude of the Electric Field at the loca
Bezzdna [24]
<h2>Electric field at the location of the charge is 1250 N/C</h2>

Explanation:

Electric field is the ratio of force and charge.

Force, F = 3.00 mN = 3 x 10⁻³ N

Charge, q = 2.40 μC = 2.40 x 10⁻⁶ C

We have

                 E=\frac{F}{q}\\\\E=\frac{3\times 10^{-3}}{2.40\times 10^{-6}}\\\\E=1250N/C

Electric field at the location of the charge is 1250 N/C

What is mechanical energy​
netineya [11]

Explanation:  

In physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the macroscopic energy associated with a system. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant. If an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force, the potential energy will increase; and if the speed (not the velocity) of the object changes, the kinetic energy of the object also changes. In all real systems, however, nonconservative forces, such as frictional forces, will be present, but if they are of negligible magnitude, the mechanical energy changes little and its conservation is a useful approximation. In elastic collisions, the kinetic energy is conserved, but in inelastic collisions some mechanical energy may be converted into thermal energy. The equivalence between lost mechanical energy (dissipation) and an increase in temperature was discovered by James Prescott Joule.

frez [133]

Answer:

    #_photons = 30 photons / s

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the energy of a photon of light, let's use the Planck relation

         E = h f

the speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

         c = λ f

we substitute

         E = h c /λ

         E₀ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/500 10⁻⁹

         E₀ = 3.978 10⁻¹⁹ J

now let's use a direct proportion rule. If the energy of a photon is Eo, how many fornes has an energy E = 1.2 10⁻¹⁷ J in a second

          #_photons = 1 photon   (E / Eo)

          #_photons = 1  1.2 10⁻¹⁷ /3.978 10⁻¹⁹

          #_photons = 3.0 10¹

          #_photons = 30 photons / s
