Light of wavelength 650 nm is normally incident on the rear of a grating. The first bright fringe (other than the central one) i

s at an angle of 5o with respect to the normal.
A. Find the number of slits per centimeter in the grating.
B. Two rays of light of wavelength 650 nm and 420 nm are normally incident on a different grating. If the grating has 5000 slits/cm, what is the angular seperation of of the two light rays' second order maximum?

Answer:

A

   N  = 1340.86 \ slits  / cm

B

    \theta  = 15.7^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

      The wavelength is  \lambda  =  650 \  nm  =  650  *10^{-9} \  m  

        The angle of  first bright fringe is  \theta  =  5^o  

        The order of the fringe considered is  n  =1

Generally the condition for constructive interference is  

       dsin (\theta ) = n * \lambda

=>    d =  \frac{1 *  650 *10^{-9 }}{ sin(5)}

=>    d = 7.458 *10^{-6} \  m

Converting to cm

           d = 7.458 *10^{-6} \  m = 7.458 *10^{-6}  * 100 =  0.0007458 \  cm

Generally the number of grating pre centimeter is  mathematically represented as

           N  =  \frac{1}{d}

=>         N  =  \frac{1}{0.0007458}

=>         N  = 1340.86 \ slits  / cm

Considering question B  

   From the question we are told that

     The first wavelength is  \lambda_1 =  650 \ nm  =  650 *10^{-9} \  m

     The second wavelength is  \lambda_2 = 429 \  m   =   420 *10^{-9 } \  m

      The order of the fringe is  n  =  2

       The grating is  N =  5000 \  slits / cm

Generally the slit width is mathematically represented as

              d =  \frac{1}{N  }

=>          d =  \frac{1}{ 5000  }

=>          d =   0.0002 \  c m  =  2.0 *10^{-6} \ m

Generally the condition for constructive interference for the first ray is mathematically represented as

         d sin(\theta_1) =  n *  \lambda_1

=>      \theta_1 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 *  \lambda }{d}]

=>       \theta_1 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 *   650 *10^{-9} }{ 2*10^{-6}}]

=>        \theta_1 = 40.5 ^o

Generally the condition for constructive interference for the second ray is mathematically represented as

         d sin(\theta_2) =  n *  \lambda_2

=>      \theta_2 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 *  \lambda_1 }{d}]

=>       \theta_2 = sin^{-1} [\frac{ 2 *   420 *10^{-9} }{ 2*10^{-6}}]

=>        \theta_2 = 24.8  ^o

Generally the angular separation is mathematically represented as

            \theta  =  \theta_1 - \theta_1

=>          \theta  = 42.5^o -  24.8^o

=>          \theta  = 15.7^o

An object with an initial velocity of 10 m/s accelerates at a rate of 3.5 m/s2 for 8 seconds. How far will it have traveled duri
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Distance, d = 192 meters

Explanation:

We have,

Initial velocity of an object is 10 m/s

Acceleration of the object is 3.5 m/s²

Time, t = 8 s

We need to find the distance travelled by the object during that time. Second equation of motion gives the distance travelled by the object. It is given by :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

d=10\times 8+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3.5\times 8^2\\\\d=192\ m

So, the distance travelled by the object is 192 meters.

A bolt of lightning discharges 9.7 C in 8.9 x 10^-5 s. What is the average current during the discharge?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 1.089\times 10^5\ A

Explanation:

Given

Charge discharged Q=9.7\C

time taken t=8.9\times 10^{-5}\ s

Current is given as rate of change of discharge i.e.

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{Q}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{9.7}{8.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.089\times 10^5\ A

Therefore, the average current is 1.089\times 10^5\ A

player kicks a soccer ball from ground level and sends it flying at an angle of 30 degrees at a speed of 26 m/s. What is the hor
seropon [69]

Answer

22.5 m/s

Explanation

We shall use the trigonometric ratio cosine to find the horizontal component.

cos = adjacent/hypotenuse

Adjacent is the horizontal and hypotenuse is the fly speed.

cos 30° = horizontal / 26

horizontal velocity = 26 × cos 30°

                                = 26 × 0.866

                                = 22.5166

                                 = 22.5 m/s
