A flat screen is located 0.55 m away from a single slit. Light with a wavelength of 544 nm (in vacuum) shines through the slit a

nd produces a diffraction pattern. The width of the central bright fringe on the screen is 0.052 m. What is the width of the slit?

Answer:

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern is given as

Sinθ = mλ/ω

Where m=1,2,3,4....

Now, when m=1

Sinθ = λ/ω

Then,

ω = λ/Sinθ

The width of the central bright fringe is given as

y=2Ltanθ. From trigonometric

Then,

θ=arctan(y/2L)

Given that,

y=0.052m

L=0.55m

θ=arctan(0.052/2×0.55)

θ=arctan(0.0473)

θ=2.71°

Substituting this into

ω = λ/Sinθ

Since λ=544nm=544×10^-9m

Then,

ω = 544×10^-9/Si.2.71

ω = 1.15×10^-5m.

A particle moves along the x-axis so that its velocity at anytime is t greater than or equal to 0 is given by v(t)=1-sin(2pi t)
UkoKoshka [18]
A) We differentiate the expression for velocity to obtain an expression for acceleration:
v(t) = 1 - sin(2πt)
dv/dt = -2πcos(2πt)
a = -2πcos(2πt)

b) Any value of t can be plugged in as long as it is greater than or equal to 0. 

c) we integrate the expression of velocity to find an expression for displacement:
∫v(t) dt = ∫ 1 - sin(2πt) dt
x(t) = t + cos(2πt)/2π + c
x(0) = 0
0 = = + cos(0)/2π + c
c = -1/2π
x(t) = t + cos(2πt)/2π -1/2π
