Answer:
These are Diffraction Grating Questions.
Q1. To determine the width of the slit in micrometers (μm), we will need to use the expression for distance along the screen from the center maximum to the nth minimum on one side:
Given as
y = nDλ/w Eqn 1
where
w = width of slit
D = distance to screen
λ = wavelength of light
n = order number
Making x the subject of the formula gives,
w = nDλ/y
Given
y = 0.0149 m
D = 0.555 m
λ = 588 x 10-9 m
and n = 3
w = 6.6x10⁻⁵m
Hence, the width of the slit w, in micrometers (μm) = 66μm
Q2. To determine the linear distance Δx, between the ninth order maximum and the fifth order maximum on the screen
i.e we have to find the difference between distance along the screen (y₉-y₅) = Δx
Recall Eqn 1, y = nDλ/w
given, D = 27cm = 0.27m
λ = 632 x 10-9 m
w = 0.1mm = 1.0x10⁻⁴m
For the 9th order, n = 9,
y₉ = 9 x 0.27 x 632 x 10-9/ 1.0x10⁻⁴m = 0.015m
Similarly, for n = 5,
y₅ = 5x 0.27 x 632 x 10-9/ 1.0x10⁻⁴m = 0.0085m
Recall, Δx = (y₉-y₅) = 0.015 - 0.0085 = 0.0065m
Hence, the linear distance Δx between the ninth order maximum and the fifth order maximum on the screen = 6.5mm
Answer:
The transfer of heat by the movement of fluid is called Convection Heat Transfer
Explanation:
Heat transfer by convection is the transfer of heat by fluid transport from one place to another, such that convection takes place when the heat that comes in contact of fluid containing body is moved to other parts of the container by the transporting fluid
Heat is transferred within a fluid medium mainly by convection (movement of heat by the transfer of fluid particles in the medium)
Convection heat transfer is a combination of conduction and advection heat transfer
KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²
KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (40 m/s)²
KE = (1/2) (20 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)
KE = (10 kg) (1,600 m²/s²)
KE = 16,000 Joules
