An instructor wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, he directs the beam toward a partition

with two tiny slits separated by 0.195 mm. An interference pattern appears on a screen that lies 5.10 m from the slit pair. The instructor's measurements show that two adjacent bright interference fringes lie 1.55 cm apart on the screen. What is the laser's wavelength (in nm)

Answer:

λ = 610.6 nm

Explanation:

We are given;

Separation distance; d = 0.195 mm = 0.195 × 10^(-3) m

Interference pattern distance; D = 4.95 m

Width of the two adjacent bright interference; β = 1.55 cm = 1.55 × 10^(-2) m

Formula for the Fringe width is;

β = Dλ/d

Where;

λ is laser's wavelength

Thus;

λ = (d × β)/(D)

λ = (0.195 × 10^(-3) × 1.55 × 10^(-2))/4.95

λ = 610.6 × 10^(-9) m

λ = 610.6 nm

Competitive pressures stemming from the threat of entry are stronger when
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Industries outlook is uncertain

Explanation:

Competitive pressures stemming from the threat of entry are stronger when the industry's outlook is uncertain or highly risky, entry barriers are low, and very few existing industry members are looking to expand their market reach by entering product segments or geographic areas where they currently do not have a presence. entry barriers are low, the pool of entry candidates is large, and existing industry members are earning good profits. there are fewer than 10 entry candidates with the potential to hurdle the industry's barriers to entry. t is difficult or costly for a customer to switch to a new brand, the total dollar investment needed to enter the market successfully exceeds $5 million, and existing governmental regulations impose significant cost and compliance burdens on industry members. buyers have strong brand preferences and high degrees of loyalty to their preferred brand and when it takes new entrants less than 5 years to secure attractive amounts of space on retailers' shelves and build a well-recognized brand name.

Matthew throws a ball straight up into the air. It rises for a period of time and then begins to drop. At which points in the ba
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

If air resistance is taken as negligible, then the ball is in freefall the moment it is thrown so gravity is the only force acting on the object. If air resistance is not negligible then gravity will be the greatest force acting on the ball while it is going up and coming down, because Fair has to be less than gravity at all times otherwise the atmosphere would wither away.

Answer:

Obviously Our Yellow Star: The Sun....

Explanation:

With a staggering mass of 1.989 × 10^30 kg as well as a gravitation pull of about 274 ms^-1. I think, no other object in our solar system at least have those properties. Not to mention Sun makes <em>99.86% of our solar system </em>combined.
