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

what is the name of the area around a charged object where the object can exert a force on other charged objects?
shusha [124]

Answer:

An electric field is a region around a charged object where the object's electric force is exerted on other charged objects. Electric fields get weaker the farther away they are from the charge. An electric field is invisible. You can use the field line to represent it.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The SI units of the “A” is m (meters)

The SI units of the “B” is m/s^2

Explanation:

Given the distance = d meters.

Time taken to travel = t (seconds)

Function of the distance, d = A + Bt^2

Now we have given the above information and from the given distance function, we have to find the SI units of the A and B. Here, below are the SI units.

Thus, the SI units of the “A” is = m (meters)

The SI units of the “B” is = m/s^2

A thermometer containing 0.10 g of mercury is cooled from 15 degrees celsius to 8.5 degrees celcius. How much energy left the me
loris [4]

To solve this exercise we will use the concept related to heat loss which is mathematically given as

Q = mC_p \Delta T

Where,

m = mass

C_p= Specific Heat

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Replacing with our values we have that

m = 0.1g

C_p = 139J/Kg\cdot K \rightarrow Specific heat of mercury

\Delta T = 8.5\°C-15\°C = -6.5\°C \Rightarrow -6.5K

Replacing

Q = (0.1*10^3)(138)(-6.5)\\Q = -0.09J

Therefore the heat lost by mercury is 0.09J
