Answer:

A tsunami is a sequence of particularly long water waves that can spread over very great distances and, as such, cause water to move.

When penetrating into areas of shallow water, the sea is compressed and thus piles up on the coasts to form several high tidal waves. These carry the water with great force far over the shoreline and usually cause great damage. During the subsequent retreat, the material carried away on the flooded land, often also people and animals, is mostly washed far out into the ocean.

Tsunamis occur as a result of sudden water displacement, such as when parts of the ocean floor are raised or lowered during an undersea earthquake or when large masses of earth and rock slide into the water as well as due to violent winds.

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the

Answer:

The wavelength is $\lambda_2 = 534 *10^{-9} \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength of the first light is $\lambda _ 1 = 587 \ nm$

The order of the first light that is being considered is $m_1 = 10$

The order of the second light that is being considered is $m_2 = 11$

Generally the distance between the fringes for the first light is mathematically represented as

$y_1 = \frac{ m_1 * \lambda_1 * D}{d}$

Here D is the distance from the screen

and d is the distance of separation of the slit.

For the second light the distance between the fringes is mathematically represented as

$y_2 = \frac{ m_2 * \lambda_2 * D}{d}$

Now given that both of the light are passed through the same double slit

$\frac{y_1}{y_2} = \frac{\frac{m_1 * \lambda_1 * D}{d} }{\frac{m_2 * \lambda_2 * D}{d} } = 1$

=> $\frac{ m_1 * \lambda _1 }{ m_2 * \lambda_2} = 1$

=> $\lambda_2 = \frac{m_1 * \lambda_1}{m_2}$

=> $\lambda_2 = \frac{10 * 587 *10^{-9}}{11}$

=> $\lambda_2 = 534 *10^{-9} \ m$
