You have a double slit experiment, with the distance between the two slits to be 0.025 cm. A screern is 120 cm behind the double

slits. The distance between the central maximum and the Sh maximum is 1.52 cm. Please calculate the wavelength of the light used in the experiment

Answer:

The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance between the two slits d= 0.025 cm

Distance between the screen and slits D = 120 cm

Distance between the slits y= 1.52 cm

We need to calculate the angle

Using formula of double slit

\tan\theta=\dfrac{y}{D}

Where, y = Distance between the slits

D = Distance between the screen and slits

Put the value into the formula

\tan\theta=\dfrac{1.52}{120}

\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{1.52}{120}

\theta=0.725

We need to calculate the wavelength

Using formula of wavelength

d\sin\theta=n\lambda

Put the value into the formula

0.025\times\sin0.725=5\times\lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{0.025\times10^{-2}\times\sin0.725}{5}

\lambda=6.326\times10^{-7}\ m

\lambda=633\ nm

Hence, The wavelength of the light is 633 nm.

A 50kg boy runs at a speed of 10.0m/s and jumpsonto a cart
andriy [413]

Answer:

the mass of the cart is 150 kg

Explanation:

given,

mass of boy(m) = 50 kg

speed of boy (v)= 10 m/s                  

initial velocity of cart (u) = 0                    

final velocity of cart(V) = 2.5 m/s              

mass of the cart(M) = ?                              

m v + M u = (m + M ) V......................(1)

50× 10 + 0 = (50 + M ) 2.5

M =\dfrac{500}{2.5} - 50

M = 150 Kg                                          

hence, the mass of the cart is 150 kg

A coil formed by wrapping 65 turns of wire in the shape of a square is positioned in a magnetic field so that the normal to the
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

377 m

Explanation:

number of turns, N = 65

θ = 36°

B1 = 200 micro Tesla

B2 = 600 micro tesla

t = 0.4 s

induced emf, e = 80 mV

Let a be the side of the square coil.

e=\frac{d\phi }{dt}=NA\frac{dB}{dt}\times Sinθ

0.080=\frac{65\times a^{2}\times Sin36\times\left ( 600 - 200 \right )\times 10^{-6}}{0.4}

0.080=0.038a^{2}

a = 1.45 m

Total length of the wire, L = N x 4a = 65 x 4 x 1.45 = 377 m

Thus, the length of the wire is 377 m.

An object is dropped and falls freely to the ground with an acceleration of g. If it is thrown upward at an angle instead, its a
Savatey [412]

Answer:

g

Explanation:

if an object is thrown upward or at any angle, the acceleration acting on that object is the same as acceleration due to gravity which always acts towards the vertically downwards direction because there is no acceleration or the force acting on the object in horizontal direction.

Thus, the acceleration is same as acceleration due to gravity g.

Physicists often measure the momentum of subatomic particles moving near the speed of light in units of MeV/c, where c is the sp
maxonik [38]

Answer:

kg m/s

Explanation:

e = Charge = C

V = Voltage = \dfrac{N}{C}m

c = Speed of light = m/s

Momentum is given by

\dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{e\times V}{c}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=\dfrac{C\times \dfrac{N}{C}\times m}{m/s}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=Ns\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\times \dfrac{m}{s}\times s\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MeV}{c}=kg\cdot m/s

The unit of MeV/c in SI fundamental units is kg m/s

A long straight wire has fixed negative charge with a linear charge density of magnitude 4.6 nC/m. The wire is to be enclosed by
Semmy [17]

Answer: -33.3 * 10^9 C/m^2( nC/m^2)

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the gaussian law, the we have:

Eoutside =0 so teh Q inside==

the Q inside= 4.6 nC/m*L + σ *2*π*b*L where L is the large of the Gaussian surface and b the radius of the shell.

Then we simplify and get

σ= -4.6/(2*π*b)= -33.3 nC/m^2
