Coherent monochromatic light of wavelength l passes through a narrow slit of width a, and a diffraction pattern is observed on a
1 answer:
Answer:
λ = a
Explanation:
This is a diffraction exercise that is described by the expression
a sin θ = m λ
sin θ = m λ/ a
the first zero of the diffraction occurs for m = 1
sin θ = λ / a
angles are generally very small and are measured in radians
sin θ = θ = y / x
we substitute
the width of the central maximum is twice the distance to zero
w = 2y
in the exercise indicate that this width is equal to twice the distance to the screen (2x)
W = 2x
2y = 2x
we substitute
1 = λ/ a
λ = a
we see that the width of the slit is equal to the wavelength used.

Answer:
Fnet = 0
Explanation:
- Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
- According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
- This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:
- In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:
⇒ 169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N (3)
- This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
- Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47 N (4)
