In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by
(1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern
is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit
In our problem,
while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is
(2)
If we use the formula to rewrite
, eq.(2) becomes
Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
Protons, neutrons, and electrons<span> are the three main subatomic particles found in an atom. Protons have a</span>positive<span> (+) </span>charge<span>. An easy way to remember this is to remember that both proton and </span>positive<span> start with the</span>letter<span> "</span>P<span>." Neutrons have no electrical </span>charge<span>.</span>
Answer:
a) pressure means force acted on a body per unit area
-- Although it's not explicitly stated in the question,we have to assume that
the surface is frictionless. I guess that's what "smooth" means.
-- The total mass of both blocks is (1.5 + 0.93) = 2.43 kg. Since they're
connected to each other (by the string), 2.43 kg is the mass you're pulling.
-- Your force is 6.4 N.
Acceleration = (force)/(mass) = 6.4/2.43 m/s²<em>
</em> That's about <em>2.634 m/s²</em> <em>
</em>(I'm going to keep the fraction form handy, because the acceleration has to be
used for the next part of the question, so we'll need it as accurate as possible.)
-- Both blocks accelerate at the same rate. So the force on the rear block (m₂) is
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.93) x (6.4/2.43) = <em>2.45 N</em>.
That's the force that's accelerating the little block, so that must be the tension
in the string.
