Explanation:

Single slit diffraction

Diffraction is the phenomenon of spreading out of waves as they pass through an aperture or around objects. Diffraction occurs when the size of the aperture or obstacle is of the same order of magnitude as the wavelength of the incident wave. For very small aperture sizes, the vast majority of the wave is blocked. in case of  large apertures the wave passes by or through the obstacle without any significant diffraction.

If the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringes decreases

<h3>What is Interference fringe ?</h3>

Interference fringe refers to bands caused by different lights which can be found in phase or not each other.

  • Distances between laser fringes are short which is due to light wavelength.
  • The interference fringes can be estimated by knowing slit separation and wavelength.

In conclusion, if the separation between the openings in a laser is increased, then the distance between the interference fringe decreases

Cole is riding a sled with initial speed of 5 m/s from west to east. the frictional force of 50 n exists due west. the mass of t
stepan [7]
We can calculate the acceleration of Cole due to friction using Newton's second law of motion:
F=ma
where F=-50 N is the frictional force (with a negative sign, since the force acts against the direction of motion) and m=100 kg is the mass of Cole and the sled. By rearranging the equation, we find
a= \frac{F}{m}= \frac{-50 N}{100 kg}=-0.5 m/s^2

Now we can use the following formula to calculate the distance covered by Cole and the sled before stopping:
a= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2d}
where
v_f=0 is the final speed of the sled
v_i=5 m/s is the initial speed
d is the distance covered

By rearranging the equation, we find d:
d= \frac{v_f^2-v_i^2}{2a}= \frac{-(5 m/s)^2}{2 \cdot (-0.5 m/s^2)}=25 m
