Red light of wavelength 633 nm from a helium-neon laser passes through a slit 0.400mm wide. The diffraction pattern is observed

on a screen 3.35 m away. Define the width of a bright fringe as the distance between the minima on either side.
(a) What is the width of the central bright fringe?

(b) What is the width of the first bright fringe on either side of the central one?

Answer:

a)y_{first}=5.3mm

b)y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm  

Explanation:

a)

The width of the central bright in this diffraction pattern is given by:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a} when m is a natural number.

here:

  • m is 1 (to find the central bright fringe)                
  • D is the distance from the slit to the screen
  • a is the slit wide
  • λ is the wavelength

So we have:

y_{first}=\frac{633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}

y_{first}=5.3mm

b)

Now, if we do m=2 we can find the distance to the second minima.

y_{2}=\frac{2*633*10^{9}*3.35}{0.0004}

y_{2}=10.6 mm

Now we need to subtract these distance, to get the width of the first bright fringe :

y_{second}=10.6-5.3 =5.3 mm    

I hope it heps you!

A long string is pulled so that the tension in it increases by a factor of four. If the change in length is negligible, by what
rusak2 [61]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wave velocity as a function of the tension and linear mass density. This is

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Here

v = Wave speed

T = Tension

\mu = Linear mass density

From this proportion we can realize that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the tension

v \propto \sqrt{T}

Therefore, if there is an increase in tension of 4, the velocity will increase the square root of that proportion

v \propto \sqrt{4} = 2  

The factor that the wave speed change is 2.

If an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 128 ​ft/second, then its height after t seconds is given by the follow
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity u= 128 ft/sec

Equation of height

h = 128t-32t^2....(I)

(a). We need to calculate the maximum height

Firstly we need to calculate the time

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=0

From equation (I)

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=128-64t

128-64t=0

t=\dfrac{128}{64}

t=2\ sec

Now, for maximum height

Put the value of t in equation (I)

h =128\times2-32\times4

h=128\ ft

(b). The number of seconds it takes the object to hit the ground.

We know that, when the object reaches ground the height becomes zero

128t-32t^2=0

t(128-32t)=0

128=32t

t=4\ sec

Hence, The maximum height attained by the object and the number of seconds are 128 ft and 4 sec.
