A microscope has an objective lens with diameter 1.04 cm. You wish to resolve an object 9.09 micrometers in size. You are using

visible light of wavelength 562 nm. Using the Rayleigh criterion, what is the distance that the objective lens must be from the object to resolve it

Answer:

L = 0.1379 m = 13.79 cm

Explanation:

The Rayleigh criterion establishes that two objects are separated when the maximum of diffraction for slits coincides with the minimum of the other point, therefore the expression for the diffraction

            a sin θ = m λ

           

the first zero occurs when m = 1

let's use trigonometry to find the angle

          tan θ = y / L

           

as in these experiments the angles are very small

          tan θ = sin θ /cos θ = sin θ

          sin θ = y / L

we substitute

          a y /L = λ

In the case of circular aperture the system must be solved in polar coordinates, for which a numerical constant is introduced

           a y / L = 1.22 λ

           L = a y / 1.22 λ

We search the magnitudes to the SI system

           a = 1.04 cm = 1.04 10⁻² m

           y = 9.09 10⁻⁶ m

           λ = 562 10⁻⁹ m

let's calculate

           L = \frac{1.04 \ 10^{-2} \ 9.09 \ 10^{-6}  }{1.22 \ 562 \ 10^{-9}  }

           L = 1.379 10⁻¹ m

           L = 0.1379 m = 13.79 cm

Which equation is used to calculate the electric potential in an electric field from a point charge? V = kq over d squared V = k
Contact [7]

Answer:

The answer is V =delta U over q

Explanation:

Electric potential is defined as the magnitude of the electric field through the potential energy that a charge would have if placed at that point. Mathematically, the potential is defined with the following expression:

V=\frac{E_{p} }{q}

where:

V is the electric potential. Its unit is Julius by Coulomb (J/C).

Ep is the electric potential energy that has a charge

q is the charge

How does a electron travel through a closed circuit?
Murljashka [212]

The particles that carry charge through wires in a circuit are mobile electrons. The electric field direction within a circuit is by definition the direction that positive test charges are pushed. Thus, these negatively charged electrons move in the direction opposite the electric field.
