How are the interference patterns for light through a double slit and light through a single slit similar yet different

Physics
1 answer:
xxMikexx [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer: In double slit case, you need to understand superposition on waves emerging from dirrerent slit.

Explanation: When passing a single slit, wave spread in all directions.

In double slit waves with equal wavelength travel different path and distance  

trey travel is different . Waves meet each other in different positions in different phases. If phase are same, waves have contructive interference, crests of waves meet in same point. Amplitudes of waves are added together. If waves are in opposite phases, sum of amplitudes

ame subtacted and this is destructive interference. Sum of amplitudes are zero.

Practice Exercises Name: : Billy-Joe stands on the Talahatchee Bridge kicking stones into the water below a) If Billy-Joe kicks
babymother [125]

Answer:

a) The answer is 11,7m

b) The time it takes to fall will be shorter

Explanation:

We will use the next semi-parabolic movement equations

H=Hi+Viy*t+1/2*g*t

X=Xi+Vx*t

Where g(gravity acceleration)=9,81m/s^2

Also Xi, Hi and Viy are zero, as the stones Billy-Jones is kicking stay still before he moves them, so we take that point as the reference point

The first we must do is to find how much time the stones take to fall, this way:

t=(5.40m)/(3.50m/s)

Then t=1,54s

After that we need to replace t to find H, this way

H=(1/2)*(9,81m/s^2)*(1,54s)^2

Then H=11,7m

b) The stones will fall faster as the stones will be kicked harder, it will cause the stones move faster, it means, more horizontal velocity. In order to see it better we could assume the actual velocity is two times more than it is, so it will give us half of the time, this way:

t=(5,40m)/(2*3,50m/s)

Then, t=0,77

If the solar system shrank so that the sun were located just one centimeter from Earth, about how far away could you find the ne
DedPeter [7]
E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

What are one of the ways the atmosphere recycle gases through interactions with the biosphere?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Though the process photosynthesis

Explanation:

One of the important ways by which the atmosphere recycle gases through interactions with the the biosphere is by photosynthesis.

The biosphere is the living component on the earth. The atmosphere is the gaseous envelope round the earth.

  • Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen gas.
  • This way, atmospheric carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen gas.

This way, there is a sustained interaction between the atmosphere and biosphere.

Why does a lunar eclipse last for a few hours whereas a solar eclipse only lasts for a few minutes?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit. ... A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly 2 hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only up to a few minutes at any given place, due to the smaller size of the Moon's shadow.

How much power is used if a force of 54 newtons is used to pull a wagon a distance of 10 meters in 6 seconds?
AnnZ [28]
First, calculate the work done: 54 x 10 = 540J.
Now calculate power: 540 / 6 = 90.
The answer is 90W.

Hope this helps.
