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

If you double the dimensions of a cube what happens to the volume
Triss [41]
By definition, a cube is a three-dimensional figure that have equal dimensions for all its sides. It comprises of two square bases, one on top and one on the bottom. The face sides are also squares. Therefore, the volume of a cube is equal to s³, where s is the measure of the side's length. To compare the change, let us assume values. First, suppose s=1. Then, we denote this volume as V₁.

V₁ = (1)³ = 1

Next, taking the double, s=2. The volume for this is denoted as V₂.

V₂ = (2)³ = 8

Taking the ratio of V₂ to V₁:

V₂/V₁ = 8

That means the scale factor is 8. When the side dimensions is doubled, the volume of the cube increases 8 times as great as the original volume.

An 1800 kg helicopter rises with an upward acceleration of 2.0 m/s?. What lifting force is supplied by its rotating blades?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Lifting force, F = 21240 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the helicopter, m = 1800 kg

It rises with an upward acceleration of 2 m/s². We need to find the lifting force  supplied by its rotating blades. It is given by :

F = mg + ma

Where

mg is its weight

and "ma" is an additional acceleration when it is moving upwards.

So, F=1800\ kg(9.8\ m/s^2+2\ m/s^2)

F = 21240 N

So, the lifting force supplied by its rotating blades is 21240 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the name of the phenomenon that causes observed light from a star to change its wavelength?
blagie [28]

Answer: This is called the Doppler effect, where waves shift frequency and wavelength as the source travels towards you (higher frequency, shorter wavelength) or away from you (lower frequency, longer wavelength)

Explanation:

hoped this helped have a good day :)
