Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

how the aperture geometry relates to the

diffraction pattern:

Diffraction is the spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects.it occurs when the size of the aperture or obstacle is of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of  the incident wave.For every small aperture sizes,the vast majority of the wave is blocked.For large apertures the wave passes by or through the obstacle without any significant of diffraction.

            in an aperture with width smaller than the wavelength,the wave transmitted through the aperture spreads all the way around the behave like a point sources of waves.

                             single slit diffraction pattern

The diffraction pattern made by waves passing through a slit of width \alpha (larger than∫) can be understood by imagining a series of point sources all in phase along the width of the slit.The waves moving directly forward are all in phase,so they from a large central maximum.

                 if the waves travels at an angle Ф from the normal to the slit,then there is a path difference x between the waves production at the two end of the slit.

           x=a sinΦ

The path difference between the top and middle waves is λ/2 then they are exactly out of phase and cancel each other out. This happens to all consecutive pairs of waves (the ones produced by the second source from the top and the second source past the middle etc.)at the angle so there is no resultant wave at this angle.Thus a minimum is the diffraction pattern is obtained at

                                                   λ=α sinθ

Now slit can be divided into four equal sections and the pairing of sources to give destructive interference can be repeated for the top two section ,which is identical to the result of pairing off matching sources in the bottom two sections.in this case we obtained from the minimum.

             λ/2=α/4 sinθ

we can divided the slit aperture into six equal sections and pair off sources in the top two divisions and then the bottom two,to give destructive interference for every matched pair.The minimum of intensity are obtained at angles

                      nλ = α sinθ

where n is an integer (1,2,......),  but not n=0.There is a maximum of intensity in the center of the pattern. This process only gives the position of the minima,does not work for positions of the maxima,and so does not give the intensities of the maxima.

solmaris [256]

Answer:

a) -1.25 m/s²

b) 62.5 m

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s:

45 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 12.5 m/s

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 12.5 m/s) / 10 s

a = -1.25 m/s²

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δx = ½ (0 m/s + 12.5 m/s) (10 s)

Δx = 62.5 m

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

Explanation:

The formula to be used here is

Q = It

where Q is the quantity of electricity and it is measured coulombs (C); 2.8 × 10⁻⁸ C or 0.000000028 C

I is current and it is measured in ampere (amps or A); unknown

t is time and it is measured in seconds (s); 0.05 s

Since, average current is what is unknown

I =Q/t

I = 0.000000028/0.05

I = 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ A

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere
