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

Physics

Alexxandr [17]4 years ago

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

natita [175]

Answer:

α = 17.0 rad/s²

Explanation:

For this problem let's use the torque expression

         τ = I α

Torque is the product of force by the distance that is half the length of the pencil

        τ = F x

Let's use trigonometry

        sin 10 = x / (l / 2)

        x = l / 2 sin 10

        τ = mg l /2  sin 10

The moment of inertia of pencil that we approximate as a rod with the axis of rotation at one end

          I = 1/3 m L²

 We replace

          mg l / 2 sin 10 = 1/3 m l² α

           α = 3/2 g/l  sin 10  

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

            l = 15.0 cm = 0.150 m

           m = 10.0 g = 0.0100 kg

Let's calculate

            α = 3/2 9.8 / 0.150 sin 10

            α = 17.0 rad/s²

A mass of 7.5kg has a weight of 30n on a certain planet calculate the acceleration due to gravitt on this planet
Over [174]

Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity on a certain planet = 4 m/s²

Explanation:

According to the question,

Weight = 30 N

Mass = 7.5 kg

Let acceleration due to gravity be 'a'

<u>Formula</u>:

Weight = Mass × Acceleration due to gravity

30 = 7.5 × a

a = 30/7.5

a = 4 m/s²

Katen [24]

Explanation:

We can conclude that De Broglie's hypothesis is true. In this hypothesis the concept of matter wave was introduced, establishing that electrons have wave-like properties. Thus, all matter exhibits properties of both particles and waves, that behave in one way or another depending on the specific experiment.
