Young's experiment is performed with light of wavelength 502 nm from excited helium atoms. Fringes are measured carefully on a s
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

0.88 mm

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of the atoms, λ = 502 nm = 502*10^-9 m

Radius of the screen away from the double slit, r = 1 m

We know that Y(20) = 11.4*10^-3 m

d = (20 * R * λ) / Y(20)

d = (20 * 1 * 502*10^-9)/11.4*10^-3

d = 1*10^-5 / 11.4*10^-3

d = 0.88 mm

Therefore, the distance of separation between the two slits is 0.88 mm

Hi, I am having some difficulties in solving this question. Could someone please explain this question to me in detail. The thin
aniked [119]

Answer:

a) 3.0×10⁸ m

b) 0 m

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance from the starting position to the final position.

a) In half a year, the Earth travels from one point on the circle to the point on the exact opposite side of the circle (from 0° to 180°).  The distance between the points is the diameter of the circle.

x = 2r

x = 2 (1.5×10⁸ m)

x = 3.0×10⁸ m

b) In a full year, the Earth travels one full revolution, so it ends up back where it started.  The displacement is therefore 0 m.

A grandfather clock is controlled by a swinging brass pendulum that is 1.2 m long at a temperature of 27°C. (a) What is the leng
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

L2 = 1.1994 m

the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature drops to 0.0°C is 1.1994 m

Explanation:

Given;

Initial length L1 = 1.2m

Initial temperature T1 = 27°C

Final temperature T2 = 0.0°C

Linear expansion coefficient of brass x = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C

The change i length ∆L;

∆L = L2 - L1

L2 = L1 + ∆L ...........1

∆L = xL1(∆T)

∆L = xL1(T2 - T1) ......2

Substituting the given values into equation 2;

∆L = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C × 1.2m × (0 - 27)

∆L = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C × 1.2m × (- 27)

∆L = -6.156 × 10^-4 m

From equation 1;

L2 = L1 + ∆L

Substituting the values;

L2 = 1.2 m + (- 6.156 × 10^-4 m)

L2 = 1.2 m - 6.156 × 10^-4 m

L2 = 1.1993844 m

L2 = 1.1994 m

the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature drops to 0.0°C is 1.1994 m

A rock with a mass of 6.1 kg falls 1.5 m. What potential energy does it have before the fall?
denpristay [2]

89.67J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock = 6.1kg

Height of fall = 1.5m

Unknown:

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

The potential energy is the energy at rest or due to the position of a body.

Potential energy is mathematically expressed as;

  Potential energy = mgh

m is the mass of the rock

g is the acceleration due to gravity of the rock

h is the height of the rock

   Potential energy = 6.1 x 9.8 x 1.5 = 89.67J

A merry-go-round rotates from rest with an angular acceleration of 1.45 rad/s2. How long does it take to rotate through (a) the
elena55 [62]

Answer:

(a) t = 5.66 s

(b) t = 8 s

Explanation:

(a)

Here we will use 2nd equation of motion for angular motion:

θ = ωi t + (1/2)∝t²

where,

θ = Angular Displacement = (3.7 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 23.25 rad

ωi = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

t = time = ?

∝ = angular acceleration = 1.45 rad/s²

Therefore,

23.25 rad = (0 rad/s)(t) + (1/2)(1.45 rad/s²)t²

t² = (23.25 rad)(2)/(1.45 rad/s²)

t = √(32.06 s²)

<u>t = 5.66 s</u>

<u></u>

(b)For next 3.7 rev

θ = ωi t + (1/2)∝t²

where,

θ = Angular Displacement = (3.7 rev + 3.7 rev)(2π rad/1 rev) = 46.5 rad

ωi = initial angular speed = 0 rad/s

t = time = ?

∝ = angular acceleration = 1.45 rad/s²

Therefore,

46.5 rad = (0 rad/s)(t) + (1/2)(1.45 rad/s²)t²

t² = (46.5 rad)(2)/(1.45 rad/s²)

t = √(64.13 s²)

<u>t = 8 s</u>
