Answer:

X2 - X2'=3.24×10⁻⁴m

Explanation:

Given Data

λ1=730nm=

λ2=640nm

d=0.61 mm

D=1.1 m

Distance of the second bright fringe from the central fringe is given by

Xn = = D x n x2 λ / d

X2 = 2 D λ1 / d

X2' = 2 D λ2 / d

Separation between the second bright fringes of the two wavelengths ( the separation between the second order fringes ) is ,

X2 - X2' = 2 D ( λ1 - λ2 ) / d

X2 - X2'= {2 x 1. 1 (730×10^-9 - 640×10^-9) }/ 0.61 x 10 ^-3

X2 - X2'=3.24×10⁻⁴m

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The potential energy has a  maximum when the ball is a time that is half of the time for total travel

Explanation:

Generally potential energy is a the varies directly with the height according to this formula

            PE =mgh

and the ball attains a maximum height when the time is equal to half of the total time taken to travel

Two slits are illuminated with green light (λ = 540 nm). The slits are 0.05 mm apart and the distance to the screen is 1.5 m. At
zhenek [66]

Answer:

0.21486 mm

Explanation:

The formula for the maximum intensity is given by;

I = I_o•cos²(Φ/2)

Now,we are not given Φ but it can be expressed in terms of what we are given as; Φ = πdy/(λL)

Where;

y is the distance from the central maximum

d is the distance between the slits

λ is the wavelength

L is the distance to the screen

Thus;

I = I_o•πdy/(λL)

We are given;

d = 0.05 mm = 0.5 × 10^(-3) m

λ = 540 nm = 540 × 10^(-9) m

L = 1.25 m

I/I_o = 50% = 0.5

From earlier, we saw that;

I = I_o•πdy/(λL)

We have I/I_o = 0.5

Thus;

I/I_o = πdy/(λL)

Plugging in the relevant values;

0.5 = (π × 0.5 × 10^(-3) × y)/(540 × 10^(-9) × 1.25)

Making y the subject, we have;

y = (0.5 × 540 × 10^(-9) × 1.25)/(π × 0.5 × 10^(-3))

y = 0.00021486 m

Converting to mm, we have;

y = 0.21486 mm

Hurry Please !!!!!<br><br> Study the diagram<br> Point C identifies the____<br> of the wave
Nata [24]

Answer: Trough

Explanation: The point labeled C in the wave diagram above is the TROUGH of the wave motion. The trough of a wave motion identifies or signifies the point of least or minimum Displacement by measuring the downward Displacement of the wave. The point A is the CREST which is the opposite of the trough, signifying the point of maximum or upward Displacement of the wave cycle.

Point B is the wave amplitude which signifies the maximum extent of vibration from the equilibrium position of a wave. The point labeled D refers to the wavength of the wave motion which is the distance between successive crest or troughs of a wave motion.

A baseball bat hits a baseball with a force of 100 newtons. What is the force and its direction exerted by the ball on the bat?
Brut [27]

Answer:

The force exerted by the ball on the bat has a magnitude of 100 N and its direction is exactly opposite to that of the force exerted by the bat on the ball.

Explanation:

Recall that Newton's third law tells us that : "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Therefore if the bat acts on the ball with a force of 100 N, the ball acts on the bat with a similar magnitude of force (100 N) but direction opposite to the original force.
