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

What is the difference between a bound orbit and an unbound orbit around the sun?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The difference between a bound orbit and an unbound orbit around the sun is that:

An object on a bound orbit pursues the same way around the Sun again and again, while an object on an unbound orbit moves toward the Sun only a single time and afterward stays away forever &  never returns.

Why do astronomers use spectroscopes to analyze light from distant objects?
RoseWind [281]
Spectroscopy — the use of light from a distant object to work out the object is made of — could be the single-most powerful tool astronomers use, says Professor Fred Watson from the Australian Astronomical Observatory. ... "It lets you see the chemicals being absorbed or emitted by the light source.

Even when the head is held erect, as in the figure below, its center of mass is not directly over the principal point of support
alexandr1967 [171]

We are asked to determine the force required by the neck muscle in order to keep the head in equilibrium. To do that we will add the torques produced by the muscle force and the weight of the head. We will use torque in the clockwise direction to be negative, therefore, we have:

\Sigma T=r_{M\perp}(F_M)-r_{W\perp}(W)

Since we want to determine the forces when the system is at equilibrium this means that the total sum of torque is zero:

r_{M\perp}(F_M)-r_{W\perp}(W)=0

Now, we solve for the force of the muscle. First, we add the torque of the weight to both sides:

r_{M\perp}(F_M)=r_{W\perp}(W)

Now, we divide by the distance of the muscle:

(F_M)=\frac{r_{W\perp}(W)}{r_{M\perp}}

Now, we substitute the values:

F_M=\frac{(2.4cm)(50N)}{5.1cm}

Now, we solve the operations:

F_M=23.53N

Therefore, the force exerted by the muscles is 23.53 Newtons.

Part B. To determine the force on the pivot we will add the forces we add the vertical forces:

\Sigma F_v=F_j-F_M-W

Since there is no vertical movement the sum of vertical forces is zero:

F_j-F_M-W=0

Now, we add the force of the muscle and the weight to both sides to solve for the force on the pivot:

F_j=F_M+W

Now, we plug in the values:

F_j=23.53N+50N

Solving the operations:

F_j=73.53N

Therefore, the force is 73.53 Newtons.
