Well i think the answer is impossible to find because there is no picture
Theories have both an explanatory an a predictive function. True
Answer:
λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m
Explanation:
In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is given as ;
y = mλD/d
Where;
D is the distance of the screen from the slits = 6.2 m
d is the distance between the two slits = 0.046 mm = 0.046 x 10^(-3) m
The fringes on the screen are 8.9 cm = 0.089 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y = 0.089 m from the center of the pattern.
Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:
y = mλD/d
So, λ = dy/mD
Thus,
λ = (0.046 x 10^(-3) x 0.089)/(1 x 6.2)
λ = 6.602 x 10^(-7) m
Answer:
Wavelength
Explanation:
The wavelength of a transverse wave (where the oscillation occurs perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave) is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests ot two consecutive troughs.
In a longitudinal wave, where the oscillation occurs parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave, the wavelength is defined as the distance between two consecutive compressions or between two consecutive rarefactions.
Other important definitions for a wave are:
- Frequency: the number of complete cycles per second
- Period: the time needed for one complete cycle to occur
- Amplitude: the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum displacement of the wave
