The second-order dark fringe in a single-slit diffraction pattern is 1.40 mm from the center of the central maximum. Assuming th

e screen is 89.0 cm from a slit of width 0.710 mm and assuming monochromatic incident light, calculate the wavelength of the incident light.

We know, for single slit :

y =\dfrac{ n\lambda L}{a}\\\\\lambda = \dfrac{ya}{nL}       ...1)

y = 1.4\ mm = 1.4 \times 10^{-3}\ m

n = 2

L = 89 cm = 0.89 m

a=7.1\times 10^{-4}\ m

Putting all these in equation 1), we get :

\lambda = \dfrac{ya}{nL}\\\\\lambda = \dfrac{1.4\times 10^{-3}\times 7.1\times 10^{-4}}{2\times 0.89 }\\\\\lambda = 5.584 \times 10^{-7}\ m

Therefore, wavelength of the incident light is 5.584 \times 10^{-7}\ m or 558.4 nm.

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which one of the following statements concerning the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is correct? The equation can be used to calculate
Helen [10]

"The equation can be used to calculate the power absorbed by any surface" statement concerning the Stefan-Boltzmann equation is correct.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Stefan Boltzmann equation, the power radiated by black body radiation source is directly proportionate to the fourth power of temperature of the source. So the radiation transferred is absorbed by another surface and that absorbed power will also be equal to the fourth power of the temperature. So the equation describes the relation of net radiation loss with the change in temperature from hotter temperature to cooler temperature surface.  

                            P=e \sigma A\left(T^{4}-T_{c}^{4}\right)

So this law is application for calculating power absorbed by any surface.

A truck is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 13 m/s. If the centripetal force on the truck is 3,300 N and
Paladinen [302]
Answer: Option B.

Since here the truck is moving on a circular track, it will experience centripetal force.

F(centripetal) = m × acc 
or 
r = \frac{m v^{2}}{F}

where r is the radius of the track. 
m is the mass of truck
v is the speed  of the truck. 
Given: v = <span>13 m/s
m = </span><span>1,600 kg
</span>F = 3300 Newton

To find = radius of track=?
r = \frac{m v^{2} }{F}
r = \frac{1600*13*13}{3300}
r = 81.94 m
Therefore, radius of track is 81.94 m
