Red light of wavelength 630 nm passes through two slits and then onto a screen that is 1.4 m from the slits. The center of the 3
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Part a)

f = 4.76 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

d = 3.48 \times 10^{-4} m

Part c)

\theta = 0.311 degree

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that the speed of light is given as

c = 3 \times 10^8 m/s

\lambda = 630 nm

now the frequency of the light is given as

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

so we have

f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{630 \times 10^{-9}}

f = 4.76 \times 10^{14} Hz

Part b)

Position of Nth maximum intensity on the screen is given as

y_n = \frac{n\lambda L}{d}

so here we know for 3rd order maximum intensity

y_3 = 0.76 cm

n = 3

L = 1.4 m

0.76 \times 10^{-2} = \frac{3(630 \times 10^{-9})(1.4)}{d}

d = 3.48 \times 10^{-4} m

Part c)

angle of third order maximum is given as

d sin\theta = 3 \lambda

3.48 \times 10^{-4} sin\theta = 3(630 \times 10^{-9})

\theta = 0.311 degree

A ball is thrown straight up with enough speed so that it is in the air for several seconds. Assume the positive direction is up
Andrew [12]

Answer:

a) v= 0 m/s b) v= 6.86 m/s

Explanation:

a) When the ball reaches to its highest point, under the influence of gravity, before starting to fall down, it momentarily comes to an stop (this is needed prior to change direction in any movement), so, applying the definition of acceleration, and replacing the acceleration a by g, we have:

vf = v₀ - g*t (1)

The minus sign means that the acceleration due to gravity is always downward, so if we assume that the positive direction is upwards it must be negative.

At the highest point, vf= 0.

b) Prior to solve this point, we need to know which is the time when the ball reaches to its highest point.

As we know vf=0, we can solve (1) for t, as follows:

th = v₀/g

Now, for a time that is 0.7 s before this time, applying the acceleration definition and solving for v again, we have:

v = v₀ -(g *(th-0.7 s)), but th= v₀/g, so we get:

v= v₀ -g((v₀/g)-0.7 s) = v₀ - v₀ + g*0.7 s

⇒ v=g*0.7 s = 9.8 m/s²*0.7 s

⇒ v = 6.86 m/s

What is the difference between a circuit and a current?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive

Explanation:

The difference between current and circuit is that a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive .

In a circuit, there are difference elements or components such as the battery, wire, resistor. The goal of a circuit arrangement is to completely carry current from one end to another.

The current is the quantity of charge that flows within the circuit per unit of time.

So, the battery supplies the electromotive force to move the current round the circuit.
