Light is shone on a diffraction grating
1 answer:
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 = 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

Answer:
t = 1.41 sec.
Explanation:
If we assume that the acceleration of the blocks is constant, we can apply any of the kinematic equations to get the time since the block 2 was released till it reached the floor.
First, we need to find the value of acceleration, which is the same for both blocks.
If we take as our system both blocks, and think about the pulley as redirecting the force simply (as tension in the strings behave like internal forces) , we can apply Newton's 2nd Law, as they were moving along the same axis, aiming at opposite directions, as follows:
F = m₂*g - m₁*g = (m₁+m₂)*a (we choose as positive the direction of the acceleration, will be the one defined by the larger mass, in this case m₂)
⇒ a = ( = g/5 m/s²
Once we got the value of a, we can use for instance this kinematic equation, and solve for t:
Δx = 1/2*a*t² ⇒ t² = (2* 1.96m *5)/g = 2 sec² ⇒ t = √2 = 1.41 sec.
