Suppose you want to make an interferometer with two slits to show the wave nature of light to your friends. The most convenient

bright light is the Sun, so you find a long cardboard box that you can take outside. The box will make a dark space in which you can make the beams through the slits combine into a pattern, and have it visible to someone looking into the box. There is a video of it this on the class site this week. Let the slits be 1 mm apart, and the box 1.5 meters long from the end where the slits are to the bottom where a white piece of paper will show the pattern.
a. Is the center of the pattern bright or dark?
b. How far is it in mm from the center of the pattern to the tenth bright fringe on either side with green light of wavelength 550 nm?
c. The fringes will show color. What is the ordering of the color from the center out, i.e. red green blue, blue green red, or something else?
d. If you did not know anything about the wavelength of light, how would you use the double slit to find the wavelength of red light?

Answer:

a) the pattern is bright,  b)  y = 8.25 mm, c) the distance increases with the wavelength increases

Explanation:

This is a team building exercise to perform interference experiments, where the separation of the slits is d = 1 m = 1 10⁻³ m and the distance to the screen L = 1.5 m  

Constructive interference occurs when the path difference is equal to an integer number of wavelengths  

             d sin θ = m λ  

a) The center of the two-ray pattern has the same length so the intensity is MAXIMUM, that is, the pattern is bright  

b) to find the distance let's use trigonometry  

   tan θ= y / L  

   tan θ =sin θ/cos θ= sin θ  

because the angles are small  

we substitute  

     y = \frac{m \lambda L}{d} 

let's calculate  

     y = 10 550 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

     y = 8.25 10⁻³ m

c) for this part the incident light must be white or polychrome light  

let's find the distance (y) for some colors, in the first order  

Violet λ = 400  

y = 1 400 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 6 10⁻⁴ m  

green λ = 500 nm  

y = 1 500 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1 10⁻³  

y = 7.5 10⁻⁴ m  

yellow λ = 600 nm  

y = 1 600 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1.10⁻³  

y = 9 10⁻⁴ m  

lam λ = 700 nm  

y = 1 700 10⁻⁹ 1.5 / 1. 10⁻³  

y = 1.05 10⁻³ m  

violet, green, orange, red  

the distance increases with the wavelength increases

d) To find the wavelength we must measure the distance y from the center of the slit for various interference orders and using the equation we can find the wavelength of rationality

Malia has developed Type II Diabetes. When she eats, her body
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The correct option is c.

Explanation:

Metabolism is a sum of anabolic and catabolic reactions. The body's inability to produce/synthesize enough insulin is the cause of type II diabetes. Generally, metabolism is the process in which most compounds (proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) are produced (anabolism) or broken down (catabolism) in the body. Insulin is a protein that can be produced in less amount due to metabolic disorder in the body.

Maria's disease means she already has an exponentially high amount of blood sugar against the required insulin to balance it out, hence the disease already slowed down her rate of metabolism (catabolism) of blood sugar EXCEPT she decides to increase of metabolism by medication and exercise.
