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.

If sulfur 34 undergoes alpha decay, what will I become?
ikadub [295]
It will decay into Silicon-30. Because alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons with an atomic mass of 4, you minus sulfur's atomic number by 2 and get silicon. And the atomic mass is 34 - 4 which equals 30.

Two small metal spheres are 25 cm apaft.The spheres have equal amount of negative charge and repel each other with a force of 0.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

0.5\times 10^{-6}C

Explanation:

According to coulombs law force between two charges is given by F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2} here R is the distance between both the charges which is given as 25 cm

We have given force F =0.036 N

So  0.036=\frac{1}{4\pi \times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\frac{Q^2}{(0.25^2)} As \epsilon _0 is constant which value is 8.85\times 10^{-12}

Q^2=0.250\times 10^{-12}

Q=0.5\times 10^{-6}C
