Consider a double slit experiment in the air. The wavelength of light is 500nm light, the screen is 1m away and two adjacent bri

ght peaks are 1cm apart. If the same experiment is now done in water, what will be the spacing between the two adjacent bright peaks?

Answer: 0.75\ cm

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of light \lambda=500\ nm

Screen is D=1\ m away

Distance between two adjacent bright fringe is \Delta y=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

When same experiment done in water, wavelength reduce to \dfrac{\lambda }{\mu}

So, the distance between the two adjacent bright fringe is \Delta y'=\dfrac{\lambda D}{\mu d}

Keeping other factor same, distance becomes

\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\frac{4}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\quad \text{Refractive index of water is }\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.75\ cm

True or false?
Ksju [112]

1. False

Explanation: it's exactly the opposite. In fact, Lenz's law states that the induced current and the induced emf in a conductor are generated in such a direction that opposes to the change in magnetic flux through the coil. This is summarized by the negative sign in the Faraday's Newmann Lenz law:

\epsilon= -\frac{d\Phi }{dt}

where \epsilon is the emf induced and \frac{d\Phi}{dt} is the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil.

Lenz's law is a consequence of the law of conservation of energy. In fact, we have:

- If the magnetic flux through a coil is increasing, then the induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field generated by the coil is opposite to the direction of the external magnetic field, in order to decrease the total flux

- If the magnetic flux through a coil is decreasing, then the induced current has a direction such that the magnetic field generated by the coil is in the same direction as the external field, in order to increase the total flux

2. False

Explanation: the magnetic flux through a surface is given by

\Phi = BA cos \theta

where

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

A is the surface area

\theta is the angle between the direction of B and the normal vector to the surface

As we see, the magnetic flux depends not only on B and A, but also on the orientation of the coil with respect to the magnetic field.

3. False

Explanation:

- Sound waves are mechanical waves: mechanical waves are waves consisting of oscillations of the particles in a medium. Due to their nature, therefore, mechanical waves can propagate only in the presence of a medium

- Electromagnetic waves are NOT mechanical waves: they consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Since em waves are not mechanical waves, they do NOT need a medium to propagate, since they can also travel through a vacuum; therefore the original statement is false.
