You perform a double‑slit experiment in order to measure the wavelength of the new laser that you received for your birthday. Yo

u set your slit spacing at 1.09 mm and place your screen 8.61 m from the slits. Then, you illuminate the slits with your new toy and find on the screen that the tenth bright fringe is 4.53 cm away from the central bright fringe (counted as the zeroth bright fringe). What is your laser's wavelength ???? expressed in nanometers?

Answer:

λ = 5.734 x 10⁻⁷ m = 573.4 nm

Explanation:

The formula of the Young's Double Slit experiment is given as follows:

\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x d}{L}

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

L = distance between screen and slits = 8.61 m

d = slit spacing = 1.09 mm = 0.00109 m

Δx = distance between consecutive bright fringes = \frac{4.53\ cm}{10} = 0.00453 m

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{(0.00453\ m)(0.00109\ m)}{8.61\ m}

<u>λ = 5.734 x 10⁻⁷ m = 573.4 nm</u>

A submarine is 2.84 102 m horizontally from shore and 1.00 102 m beneath the surface of the water. A laser beam is sent from the
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

468 m

Explanation:

So the building and the point where the laser hit the water surface make a right triangle. Let's call this triangle ABC where A is at the base of the building, B is at the top of the building, and C is where the laser hits the water surface. Similarly, the submarine, the projected submarine on the surface and the point where the laser hit the surface makes a another right triangle CDE. Let D be the submarine and E is the other point.

The length CE is length AE - length AC = 284 - 234 = 50 m

We can calculate the angle ECD:

tan(\hat{ECD}) = \frac{ED}{EC} = \frac{100}{50} = 2

\hat{ECD} = tan^{-1} 2 = 63.43^o

This is also the angle ACB, so we can find the length AB:

tan(\hat{ACB}) = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{AB}{234}

2 = \frac{AB}{234}

AB = 2*234 = 468 m

So the height of the building is 468m

A penny is dropped from the top of a building that is 300.0 m tall. Calculate the speed of the penny as it hits the ground. (met
Sauron [17]

We have the equation of motion s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2, where s is the displacement, a is the acceleration, u is the initial velocity and t is the time taken.

Here s = 300 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting

   300 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ 4.9t^2 = 300\\ \\ t =7.82 seconds

Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity

Here u = 0 m/s, a= 9.81 m/s^2 and t = 7.82 seconds

Substituting

     v = 0+9.8*7.82 = 76.68 m/s

The speed with which the penny strikes the ground = 76.68 m/s.

29.213 cm3


First, calculate the mass of the water used. You do this by subtracting the original mass of the flask from the combined mass of the water and flask, giving:60.735 g - 31.601 g = 29.134 g
So we now know we have 29.134 g of water. To calculate the volume of the flask, simply divide by the density of the water, giving:29.134 g / (0.9973 g/cm3) = 29.213 cm3
