After a laser beam passes through two thin parallel slits, the first completely dark fringes occur at 19.0 with the original dir

Answer:

$\frac{d}{\lambda} = 1.54$

Explanation:

Given :

The first dark fringe is for m = 0

$\theta_1 = \pm 19^\circ$

Now we know for a double slit experiments , the position of the dark fringes is give by :

$d \sin \theta=\left(m+\frac{1}{2}\right) \lambda$

The ratio of distance between the two slits, d to the light's wavelength that illuminates the slits, λ :

$d \sin \theta=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \lambda$     (since, m = 0)

$d \sin \theta=\frac{\lambda}{2}$

$\frac{d}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{2 \sin \theta}$

$\frac{d}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{2 \sin 19^\circ}$

$\frac{d}{\lambda} = 1.54$

Therefore, the ratio is $\frac{1}{1.54}$  or 1 : 1.54

A 6.0-cm-diameter horizontal pipe gradually narrows to 4.5 cm. When water flows through this pipe at a certain rate, the gauge p
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

0.0072 m³/s

Explanation:

Using Bernoulli's law

P₁ + 1/2ρv₁² = P₂ + 1/2ρv₂ since the pipe is horizontal

1/2ρv₂² - 1/2ρv₁² = P₁ - P₂

flow rate is constant

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

A₁ = πr₁² = π (0.06/2)² = 0.0028278 m²

A₂ = πr₂² = π (0.0225)² = 0.00159 m²

v₁  = (A₂ / A₁)v₂

v₁  = (0.00159 m²/ 0.0028278  m²) v₂ = 0.562  v₂

substitute v₁  into the Bernoulli's equation

1/2ρv₂² - 1/2ρv₁² = P₁ - P₂

500 ( 1 - 0.3161 ) v₂²  = (31.0 - 24 ) × 10³ Pa

341.924 v₂² = 7000

v₂² = 20.472

v₂ = √ 20.472 = 4.525 m/s

volume follow rate = 0.00159 m² ×  4.525 m/s = 0.0072 m³/s

Given the wave function: Y(x,t) = 5sin27(0.2x - 3t); (x = meters, t = sec.): What are the amplitude, frequency, wavelength, angu
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Explanation:

Y = 5 Sin27( .2x-3t)

= 5 Sin(5.4x - 81 t )

Amplitude = 5 m

Angular frequency ω = 81

frequency = ω / 2π

= 81 / (2 x 3.14 )

=12.89

Wave length λ = 2π / k ,

k = 5.4

λ = 2π / 5.4

= 1.163 m

Phase velocity =ω / k

= 81 / 5.4

15 m / s.

The wave is travelling in + ve x - direction.
