Light is shone on a diffraction grating

Physics
1 answer:
Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

    λ = 482.05 nm

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon and the diffraction grating is described by the expression

         d sin θ = m λ

where d is the distance between two consecutive slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer representing the order of diffraction

in this case they indicate the distance between slits, the angle and the order of diffraction

         λ = \frac{d sin \theta }{m}d sin θ / m

let's calculate

         λ = 1.00 10⁻⁶ sin 74.6 / 2

         λ = 4.82048 10⁻⁷ m

Let's reduce to nm

         λ = 4.82048 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹ nm / 1 m)

         λ = 482.05 nm

Describe two reasons why an alpha particle is less penetrating than a beta or gamma particle.
uysha [10]
Alpha particles travel through the air they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. While they collide with these molecules, they lose some energy until all energy are used up and they are absorbed. These particles can be absorbed by a sheet of paper or by the air. On the other hand, beta particles and gamma particles move faster than the alpha particles and are poor at ionizing atoms or molecules thus it takes more of the material to be able to absorb these particles.

Two identical copper blocks are connected by a weightless, unstretchable cord through a frictionless pulley at the top of a thin
likoan [24]

Answer:

13.6 N

Explanation:

Since one side of the wedge is vertical and the wedge makes and angle of 33 with the horizontal, the angle between the weight of the copper block on the incline and the incline is thus 90 - 33 = 57.

Let M be the mass of the block that hangs, m be the mass of the block on the incline and T be the tension in the weightless unstretchable cord.

We assume the motion is downwards in the direction of the hanging block, M.

We now write equations of motion for each block.

So

Mg - T = Ma    (1) and T - mgcos57 - F = ma where F is the frictional force on the block on the incline and a is their acceleration.

Now, since both blocks do not move, a = 0.

So, Mg - T = M(0) = 0     and T - mgcos57 - F = m(0) = 0

Mg - T = 0    (3) and T - mgcos57 - F = 0 (4)

From (3), T = Mg

Substituting T into (4), we have

T - mgcos57 - F = 0

Mg - mgcos57 - F = 0

So, Mg - mgcos57 = F  

F = Mg - mgcos57

F = (M - mcos57)g

Since g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², and M = 2.94 kg and m = 2.85 kg.

We find F, thus

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kgcos57)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 2.85 kg × 0.5446)9.8 m/s²

F = (2.94 kg - 1.552 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = (1.388 kg)9.8 m/s²

F = 13.6024 kgm/s²

F ≅ 13.6 N

An electric motor consumes 8.40 kJ of electrical energy in 1.00 min. Part A If one-third of this energy goes into heat and other
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The torque is 0.31 Nm.

Explanation:

Electrical energy, E = 8400 J

time, t = 1 min

Angular speed, w = 2900 rpm = 303.53 rad/s

efficiency = 2/3 of input power

The toque is given by  

P =\tau  w\\\\\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{E}{t}=\tau w\\\\\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{8400}{60}=\tau \times 303.53\\\\\tau =0.31 Nm

A solid nonconducting sphere of radiusRcarries a chargeQdistributed uniformly throughout itsvolume. At a certain distancer1(r1&l
lara [203]

Answer:

E' = \frac{1}{8} E

Explanation:

Given data:

first case

Distance of electric field from center of sphere is r_1 <R

Electric field at r_1< R

E = \frac{kQr_1}{R^3}

second case

Distance of electric field from centre of sphere is r_1 < 2R

Electric field at r_1< 2R

E' = \frac{kQr_1}{8R^3}

so, we have

E' = \frac{1}{8} E
