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

How are meteors and meteorites different?
konstantin123 [22]

A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.

If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.

On a day when the temperature reaches 50°F, the temperature in degrees Celsius is: 20°C
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

10°C

Explanation:

To convert °F to °C, we use the formula:

°C =  (°F - 32) * ( 5/9)

So, to convert 50°F to the equivalent  in °C, we can proceed as follows:  

°C = ( 50 - 32 ) * (5/9)  

°C = ( 18 ) *  (5/9), which is, approximately,

°C = 9.999999999... ≈ 10 (5/9 ≈0.555555...)

So, 50°F is equivalent to 10°C.

If you put 120 volts of electricity through a pickle, the pickle will smoke and start glowing orange-yellow. The light is emitte
Alona [7]

Answer:

2.11eV

Explanation:

We know that speed of light is it's wavelength times frequency.

\therefore f=v/\lambda\\=(3\times10^8m/s)/(589mm\times1m/1\times 10^9nm)\\=5.09\times10^1^4s^-1 \ or \ 5.09\times10^1^4Hz

Planck's constant is 6.626\times 10^3^4Js

The energy gap is calculated by multyplying the light's frequency by planck's constant:

E_c=5.09\times10^1^4s^-^1\times 6.626\times10^-^3^4Js\\\\=3.37\times 10^-^1^9J  \ \ \ \ \ \ #1eV=1.06\times 10^-^1^9J\\\\=2.11eV

Hence, the energy gap is 2.11eV

What happens at night- describing air circulation
mash [69]

Answer:

The environment is warmed by the light throughout the day, such that the temperature increases. The weather is decreasing and the temperature decreases in the night as the sun falls. There was a misunderstanding. Thanks to the density, the atmosphere becomes densest on the earth. The air becomes colder and colder when you move up.

Explanation:

Answer is above
