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

what distance (in mm) from the central maximum on the screen is the average intensity 50% of the intensity of the central maximum?

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

Is the relationship between velocity and centripetal force a direct, linear or nonlinear square relationship?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

non linear square relationship

Explanation:

formula for centripetal force is given as

a = mv^2/r

here a ic centripetal acceleration , m is mass of body moving in circle of radius r and v is velocity of body . If m ,and r are constant we have

a = constant × v^2

a α v^2

hence non linear square relationship

Determine the right answer to fill in the blank spaces
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

A pure substance is something that is entirely made up of particles that are identical to each other.

Any substance that is not pure, must be a mixture.

We are surrounded by mixtures. The air is a mixture of gases . The oceans are a mixture of (mainly) water and salt. The solid earth is mostly rock, which is a mixture of different minerals.

Natural resources are substances we need and use, which occur naturally. Some come from living things, (example) cotton other are non-living (example)  sand.

The opposite of a natural resource is a made resource.

Please help.. urgent Which statement is equivalent to Newton's first law? a. 15,300 N b. 1.20*10^3 N c. 2,030 N d. 1,560 N
taurus [48]
According to Newton laws of motion, 
F = m*a
Here, m = 1,560 Kg
a = 1.30 m/s²

Substitute their values, 
F = 1,560 * 1.30
F = 2028 N ~ 2030 N  [ Closest value ]

In short, Your Answer would be Option C

Hope this helps!
