Light containing two different wavelengths passes through a diffraction grating with 1,250 slits/cm. On a screen 17.5 cm from th

e grating, the third-order maximum of the shorter wavelength falls midway between the central maximum and the first side maximum for the longer wavelength. If the neighboring maxima of the longer wavelength are 8.44 mm apart on the screen, what are the wavelengths in the light

Answer:

\lambda_s =6.43*10^-4m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diffraction grating N=1250slits/cm

Distance b/w Screen and grating length d_{sg}=17.5 cm

Distance b/w neighboring maxima and Screen d_{ms}=8.44

 

Generally the equation for grating space is mathematically given by

d(g)=\frac{1}{N}

d(g)=\frac{100}{1250}

d(g)=0.08

Generally the equation for small angle approximation is mathematically given by

\triangle y=\frac{\lambda d}{L}

Therefore for longest wavelength

\lambda _l=\frac{8.44*10^{-3}*(0.08)}{0.175m}

\lambda _l=3.858*10^{-3}

Therefore the third order maximum equation for the shorter wavelength as

\lambda_s =\frac{1}{6} \lambda_l

\lambda_s =\frac{1}{6} (3.858*10^-^3)

\lambda_s =6.43*10^-4m

The wavelengths in the light is given as

\lambda_s =6.43*10^-4m

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

4.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

(v_f)^2 - (v_i)^2 = 2a * change in distance

(21)^2 - (0)^2 = 2a * 50

a = (21^2)/(2*50)

a = 4.41 m/s^2

A father is pulling his child on a sled in the snow. According to Newton’s Third Law, the force the father exerts on the sled is
viktelen [127]
That is because there are other forces like the friction forces that apply differently on both of them. The frictional forces applied to the sled are smaller than they are on the father, for example, so it's possible for him to pull it.

g A beam of light incident on a smooth flat mirror at an angle of 25o relative to the surface normal of the mirror. What is the
WINSTONCH [101]

To solve this problem we will resort to the concept of angle of incidence and refraction.

Since it is a reflection on a mirror, the angle provided for refraction will be equal to that of the incidence, that is, 25 °

The angle of reflation is always perpendicular to the surface so it is necessary to find the angle with respect to it.

\theta = 90-25

\theta = 65\°

Therefore the angle of the reflected beam of light made with the surface normal is 65°

1. In a<br> wave, the particles of the<br> medium move in the same direction as the<br> wave motion.
iragen [17]
In sound waves, the particles move in the same direction as the wave is moving, so you wouldn't be able to see them like ripples in the air, instead they make areas in the air where the particles are more squished together, and areas where the particles are further apart.
