Problem One: A beam of red light (656 nm) enters from air into the side of a glass and then into water. wavelength, c. and speed

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Part a)

$f_w = f_g = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

$\lambda_w = 492 nm$

$\lambda_g = 437.3 nm$

Part c)

$v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s$

$v_g = 2.0 \times 10^8 m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

frequency of light will not change with change in medium but it will depend on the source only

so here frequency of light will remain same in both water and glass and it will be same as that in air

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{656 \times 10^{-9}}$

$f = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

As we know that the refractive index of water is given as

$\mu_w = 4/3$

so the wavelength in the water medium is given as

$\lambda_w = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_w}$

$\lambda_w = \frac{656 nm}{4/3}$

$\lambda_w = 492 nm$

Similarly the refractive index of glass is given as

$\mu_w = 3/2$

so the wavelength in the glass medium is given as

$\lambda_g = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_g}$

$\lambda_g = \frac{656 nm}{3/2}$

$\lambda_g = 437.3 nm$

Part c)

Speed of the wave in water is given as

$v_w = \frac{c}{\mu_w}$

$v_w = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{4/3}$

$v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s$

Speed of the wave in glass is given as

$v_g = \frac{c}{\mu_g}$

$v_g = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3/2}$

$v_g = 2 \times 10^8 m/s$

Wire 1 has a resistance R1. Wire 2 is made of the same material, with length 1/2 as long and diameter 1/4. What is the resistanc

hodyreva [135]

-- reduce the length of a wire to 1/2 . . . cut the resistance in half

-- reduce the diameter to 1/4 . . . reduce the cross-section area by (1/4²) . . . increase the resistance by 16x .

-- R2 = (R1) · (1/2) · (16) = 8 · R1

<em>-- R2 / R1 = 8</em>

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of lines per unit length, N = 900 slits per cm

Distance between the formed pattern and the grating, l = 2.3 m

n the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm, $\Delta Y=2.98\ mm = 0.00298\ m$

Let d is the slit width of the grating,

$d=\dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{900\ cm}$

$d=1.11\times 10^{-5}\ m$

For the first wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_1=\dfrac{L\lambda_1}{d}$

For the other wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_2=\dfrac{L\lambda_2}{d}$

So,

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{\Delta y d}{l}$

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{0.00298\times 1.11\times 10^{-5}}{2.3}$

$\Delta \lambda=1.43\times 10^{-8}\ m$

or

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

So, the difference between these wavelengths is 14.3 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.
