Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o

n a screen that is 2.30m from the grating.In the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm. What is the difference between these wavelengths?

Answer:

\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of lines per unit length, N = 900 slits per cm

Distance between the formed pattern and the grating, l = 2.3 m

n the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm, \Delta Y=2.98\ mm = 0.00298\ m

Let d is the slit width of the grating,

d=\dfrac{1}{N}

d=\dfrac{1}{900\ cm}

d=1.11\times 10^{-5}\ m

For the first wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

y_1=\dfrac{L\lambda_1}{d}

For the other wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

y_2=\dfrac{L\lambda_2}{d}

So,

\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{\Delta y d}{l}

\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{0.00298\times 1.11\times 10^{-5}}{2.3}

\Delta \lambda=1.43\times 10^{-8}\ m

or

\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm

So, the difference between these wavelengths is 14.3 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.

You walk from your bedroom, 25m to the mailbox, and then walk 25m back to your bedroom. What is your total distance? What is you
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Distance is 50m

Displacement is 0m

Explanation:

Distance is based on the amount of length you covered, regardless of where you end.

Displacement only considered where you started and where you ended, which is at the same spot in this case. Therefore, no displacement.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

3.25 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. The equation for his motion is as follows :

h=-16t^2+vt+s

Where

s is the height in feet

For the given condition, the equation becomes:

h=-16t^2+50t+7

When it hits the ground, h = 0

i.e.

-16t^2+50t+7=0

It is a quadratic equation, we find the value of t,

t = 3.25 seconds and t = -0.134 s

Neglecting negative value

Hence, for 3.25 seconds the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground.
