Alexus [3.1K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. ... But lunar eclipses do not occur every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted five degrees from Earth's orbit around the Sun.

Monochromatic light of wavelength 687 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 1.65 m away, the distance between the second
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a ) 1.267 radian

b ) 1.084 10⁻³ mm

Explanation:

Distance of screen D = 1.65 m

Width of slit d = ?

Wave length of light   λ  = 687 nm.

Distance of second minimum fro centre y = 2.09 cm

Angle of diffraction = y / D

=  2.09 /1.65  

= 1.267. radian

Angle of diffraction of second minimum

= 2 λ / d

so 2 λ / d = 1.267

d = 2 λ / 1.267 = (2 x 687 ) /1.267 nm

=1084.45 nm = 1.084 x 10⁻³ mm.
