A diffraction grating has 500 slits/mm. What is the longest wavelength of light for which there will be a third-order maximum?

Physics
1 answer:
Alexxandr [17]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The longest wavelength of light  is 666.7 nm

Explanation:

The general form of the grating equation is

mλ = d(sinθi + sinθr)

where;

m is third-order maximum = 3

λ is the wavelength,

d is the slit spacing (m/slit)

θi  is the incident angle

θr is the diffracted angle

Note: at longest wavelength, sinθi + sinθr = 1

λ = d/m

d = 1/500 slits/mm

λ = 1 mm/(500 *3) = 1mm/1500 = 666.7 X 10⁻⁶ mm = 666.7 nm

Therefore, the longest wavelength of light  is 666.7 nm

At one particular moment, a 19.0 kg toboggan is moving over a horizontal surface of snow at 4.00 m/s. After 7.00 s have elapsed,
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

10.86 N

Explanation:

Let the average frictional force acting on the toboggan be 'f' N.

Given:

Mass of toboggan (m) = 19.0 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 4.00 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time for which friction acts (Δt) = 7.00 s

Now, change in momentum is given as:

\Delta p =Final\ momentum-Initial\ momentum\\\\\Delta p=mv-mu\\\\\Delta p=19.0\ kg(0-4.00)\ m/s\\\\\Delta p=-76.00\ Ns

Now, we know that, change in momentum is equal to the impulse acting on the body. So,

Impulse is, J=\Delta p=-76.00\ Ns

Now, we know that, impulse is also given as the product of average force and the time interval for which it acts. So,

J=f\times \Delta t

Rewriting the above equation in terms of 'f', we get:

f=\dfrac{J}{\Delta t}

Plug in the given values and solve for 'f'. This gives,

f=\frac{-76.00\ Ns}{7.00\ s}\\\\f=-10.86\ N

Therefore, the magnitude of frictional force is |f|=|-10.86\ N|=10.86\ N

If F1 = 390 N and F2 = 550 N , determine the angle θ(0∘≤θ≤180∘) between them, so that the resultant force has a magnitude of FR
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

R² = F₁² + F₂² + 2F₁F₂ Cosθ , R is resultant force , θ is angle between them

780² = 390² + 550² + 2 x 390 x 550 Cosθ

608400 = 152100 + 302500 + 429000  Cosθ

Cosθ =  .3585

θ  = 69 degree.

What do scientitsts do to easily share mesurment data they can understand
Leona [35]
There are a few ways to do this- unfortunately different fields are better at it than others! Medical research is generally pretty good, some other fields likewise very good, some not as much. Basically, though, what they do is use standadisation- they agree on the terminology, units of data, statistical measures, and so forth, that will be used in that scientific field. As much as possible, every scientist in the field uses those standards so everyone working in the field should recognise it. For instance, in clinical trials, there is very good agreement worldwide on what the different metrics we use are- e.g. in cancer research, we usually want to know the 5-year survival rate (meaning the percentage of patients still alive 5 years after diagnosis). So anyone with the right training should be able to pick up a clinical trial report and understand what the results are and what the report is saying.

A light bulb has a power rating of 60 W. What is the current running into it if it is plugged into a 120 V outlet?
kifflom [539]

Answer:

0.5 Amperes

Explanation:

Information that we have:

Power: P=60W

Voltage: V=120V

and we use the equation that relates this two quantities to the Current (I):

I=\frac{P}{V}

where I is the curent, P is the Power and V is the Voltage.

we substitute the values given for the Power and the Voltage to find the current:

I=\frac{60W}{120V}\\ I=0.5A

the Current running into the bulb is 0.5 Amperes
