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

Schach [20]

This is an <em>inelastic </em>collision. The equation for an inelastic collision is: m_{1}v_{1}_{i} + m_{2}v_{2}_{i} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v_{f}

(110)(6) + (150)(-4) = (110 + 150)(vf)

660 - 600 = 260vf

60 = 260vf

vf = 0.2308 m/s

They will travel in the positive direction, right, and their combined velocity will be 0.2308 m/s.

Hope this helps!! :)

A listener triples his distance from a source that emits sound uniformly in all directions. by how many decibels does the sound
Novay_Z [31]
Sound intensity goes inversely as the square of the distance from the source. This is easy to understand if you think of the total sound energy spread out over the surface of a sphere with the source at the center. The surface area of the sphere goes as r^2, so the power density goes inversely as such.

The decibel change is simply

Change = 10 log10( (1/3)^2 ) = -9.54 dB

How does a solenoid convert energy from one form to another?​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A solenoid is a device comprised of a coil of wire, the housing and a moveable plunger (armature). When an electrical current is introduced, a magnetic field forms around the coil which draws the plunger in. More simply, a solenoid converts electrical energy into mechanical work.

Explanation:

The coil is made of many turns of tightly wound copper wire. When an electrical current flows through this wire, a strong magnetic field/flux is created.

The housing, usually made of iron or steel, surrounds the coil concentrating the magnetic field generated by the coil.

The plunger is attracted to the stop through the concentration of the magnetic field providing the mechanical force to do work.
