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

What happens to a satellite that slows down?
Bess [88]

Two things can happen to <u>old satellites</u>: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

It's 1.0000042 times longer in summer than in winter. It represents a 1.6 centimeters difference between seasons.

Explanation:

The linear coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is about 1.2*10^{-7}\°C^{-1}. From the equation of linear thermal expansion, we have:

L_f=L_0(1+\alpha\Delta T)

Taking the winter day as the initial, and the summer day as the final, we can take the relationship between them:

L_{summer}=L_{winter}[1+(1.2*10^{-7}\°C^{-1})(30\°C+5\°C)]\\\\L_{summer}=(1.0000042)L_{winter}

It means that the bridge is 1.0000042 times longer in summer than in winter. If we multiply it by the length of the bridge, we obtain that the difference is of about 1.6 centimeters between the two seasons.
