Answer:

The mass of the fish is 18.1 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

weight of the fish, F = 108 N

extension of the spring by the given weight, x = 14 cm = 0.14 m

First, determine the elastic constant of the spring by applying Hook's law;

F = kx

where;

k is the spring constant

k = F/x

k = 108 / 0.14

k = 771.43 N/m

When the spring is stretched to 23cm, the mass of the fish is calculated as follows;

F = mg = Kx\\\\m = \frac{Kx}{g} \\\\m = \frac{771.43\times 0.23}{9.8} \\\\m = 18.1 \ kg

Therefore, the mass of the fish is 18.1 kg.

Two slits are illuminated with green light (λ = 540 nm). The slits are 0.05 mm apart and the distance to the screen is 1.5 m. At
zhenek [66]

Answer:

0.21486 mm

Explanation:

The formula for the maximum intensity is given by;

I = I_o•cos²(Φ/2)

Now,we are not given Φ but it can be expressed in terms of what we are given as; Φ = πdy/(λL)

Where;

y is the distance from the central maximum

d is the distance between the slits

λ is the wavelength

L is the distance to the screen

Thus;

I = I_o•πdy/(λL)

We are given;

d = 0.05 mm = 0.5 × 10^(-3) m

λ = 540 nm = 540 × 10^(-9) m

L = 1.25 m

I/I_o = 50% = 0.5

From earlier, we saw that;

I = I_o•πdy/(λL)

We have I/I_o = 0.5

Thus;

I/I_o = πdy/(λL)

Plugging in the relevant values;

0.5 = (π × 0.5 × 10^(-3) × y)/(540 × 10^(-9) × 1.25)

Making y the subject, we have;

y = (0.5 × 540 × 10^(-9) × 1.25)/(π × 0.5 × 10^(-3))

y = 0.00021486 m

Converting to mm, we have;

y = 0.21486 mm
