Using a 679 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.1 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen t

hat the 14 th dark fringe is 8.01 cm away from the center of the central maximum. How far is the screen located from the slit?

To solve the problem, apply the concepts related to constructive and destructive interference. For this purpose, we will start by defining the distance from the dark fringe from the central maximum in terms of the slit separation, the number of fringe the wavelength and the distance of the screen to the slit. Mathematically this is,

y_n = \frac{(2n-1)\lambda D}{2d}

D = \frac{2dy_n}{(2n-1)\lambda}

Here,

d = Slit separation

n = Number of fringe

y_n = Distance of the dark fringe from the central maximum

D = Distance of the screen to the slit

\lambda = Wavelength

Our values are given as,

\lambda = 679nm = 679*10^{-9}m

d = 1.1mm = 1.1*10^{-3}m

y_{14} = 8.01cm = 8.01*10^{-2} m

n = 14

Replacing,

D = \frac{2(1.1*10^{-3})(8.01*10^{-2})}{(2(14)-1)(679*10^{-9})}

D = 9.61m

Therefore the screen is located from the slit to 9.61m

fiasKO [112]
F_P  + F_Q = M g
F_P = M g - F_Q
Torque, or moment of force:
∑ M_P = 0
∑ M_P = M g L - F_Q · 3 L
0 = M g L - 3 F_Q L         / : L
0 = M g - 3 F_Q
3 F_Q = M g
F_Q = M g /3
Finally:
F_P = M g - M g/3
F_P = 4 M g / 3

Kyra and Pari are timing how long it takes for 1 g of sugar to dissolve in hot water. Kyra records a time of 24.3 seconds. Pari
Hoochie [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>we can say that:-</h3>
  1. A reading with more no of significant figures is considered to be more precise.
  2. Kyra recorded a reading of 24.3 sec. Since all non 0 digits are considered to be significant this reading has 3 significant figures.
  3. Pari recorded a reading of 24 sec. Since all non 0 digits are considered to be significant this reading has 3 significant figures.
<h3>hence we can say that kyra's reading has more significant figures nd so it is more precise.</h3>

All ball is thrown up with a vertical velocity of 54 m/s and a horizontal velocity of 39 m/s. Calculate how many seconds it will
VikaD [51]

5.5 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height can be calculated using

v_y = v_{0y} - gt \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v_{0y}}{g}

since v_y = 0 at the top of its trajectory. Plugging in the numbers,

t = \dfrac{(54\:\text{m/s})}{(9.8\:\text{m/s}^2)} = 5.5\:\text{s}
