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

A hockey puck is struck so that it slides at a constant speed and strikes the far side of the rink, 58.2 m away. The shooter hea
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

v = 33.66 m/s

Explanation:

Let hockey puck is moving at constant speed v

so here we have

d = vt

so time taken by the puck to strike the wall is given as

t = \frac{58.2}{v}

now time taken by sound to come back at the position of shooter is given as

t_2 = \frac{58.2}{340}

t_2 = 0.17s

so we know that total time is 1.9 s

1.9 = t + t_2

1.9 = t + 0.17

1.9 - 0.17 = t

t = 1.73 s

now we have

1.73 = \frac{58.2}{v}

v = 33.66 m/s

An upright object 2.80 cm tall is placed 16.0 cm away from the vertex of a concave mirror with a center of curvature of 24.0 cm.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

f = 12 cm

Explanation:

<u>Center of Curvature</u>:

The center of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Center of Curvature’ of  mirror.

<u>The Radius of Curvature</u>:

The radius of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Radius of Curvature’ of  mirror. It is the distance from pole to the center of curvature.

<u>Focal Length</u>:

The distance between principal focus and pole is called ‘Focal Length’. It is denoted by ‘F’.

The focal length of the spherical (concave) mirror is approximately equal to half of the radius of curvature:

f = \frac{R}{2}

where,

f = focal length = ?

R = Radius of curvature = 24 cm

Therefore,

f = \frac{24\ cm}{2}

<u>f = 12 cm</u>
