A technician wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition

with two tiny slits separated by 0.175 mm. An interference pattern appears on a screen that lies 4.95 m from the slit pair. The technician's measurements show that two adjacent bright interference fringes lie 1.60 cm apart on the screen. What is the laser's wavelength (in nm)

Answer:

λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm

Explanation:

Using the formula of fringe spacing from the Young's Double Slit experiment, which is given as follows:

\Delta x = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\\lambda = \frac{\Delta x\ d}{L}

where,

λ = wavelength = ?

Δx = fringe spacing = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

L = Distance between slits and screen = 4.95 m

d = slit separation = 0.175 mm = 0.000175 m

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{(0.016\ m)(0.000175\ m)}{4.95\ m}\\\\

<u>λ = 5.656 x 10⁻⁷ m = 565.6 nm</u>

The magnetic field at 8 cm distance from a long straight wire, carrying is 0.2x10^-5 T. How much is the electric current in the
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

Explanation:

We solve this problem by applying the formula of the magnetic field generated at a distance by a long and straight conductor wire that carries electric current, as follows:

B=\frac{2\pi*a }{u*I}

B= Magnetic field due to a straight and long wire that carries current

u= Free space permeability

I= Electrical current passing through the wire

a  = Perpendicular distance from the wire to the point where the magnetic field is located

Magnetic Field Calculation

We cleared (I) of the formula (1):

I=\frac{2\pi*a*B }{u} Formula(2)

B=0.2*10^{-5}  T = 0.2*10^{-5} \frac{weber}{m^{2} }

a  =8cm=0.08m

u=4*\pi *10^{-7} \frac{Weber}{A*m}

We replace the known information in the formula (2)

I=\frac{2\pi*0.08*0.2*10^{-5}  }{4\pi *10x^{-7} }

I=0.8 A

Answer: The electric current in the wire is 0.8 A

Discuss impact of Newton's second law on roads​
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The second law: When a force is applied to a car, the change in motion is proportional to the force divided by the mass of the car. This law is expressed by the famous equation F = ma, where F is a force, m is the mass of the car, and a is the acceleration, or change in motion, of the car

A light wave traveling through medium 1 strikes a boundary with medium 2 at at a 45 degree angle. the light then enters the seco
Alona [7]

Here light ray strikes to interface at an angle of 45 degree and then refracts into other medium such that it will bend towards boundary.

So here the angle of incidence will be less than the angle of refraction as light moves towards the boundary after refraction which mean it will bend away from the normal

here it can be said that medium 2 will be rarer then medium 1

So here the possible options are

1. Water  

Air

2. Diamond  

Air

So in above two options medium 1 is denser and medium 2 is rarer

A coin with a diameter 3.00 cm rolls up a 30.0 inclined plane. The coin starts out with an initial angular speed of 60.0 rad/s
sweet [91]

This question is in complete.The question is

A coin with a diameter 3.00 cm rolls up a 30.0° inclined plane. The coin starts out with an initial angular speed of 60.0 rad/s and rolls in a straight line without slipping. If the moment of inertia of the coin is(1/2) MR² , how far will the coin roll up the inclined plane (length along the ramp)? Hint: Conservation of mechanical energy.

Answer:

distance=0.124 m

Explanation:

mgh=mglSin\alpha =(1/2)Iw_{i}^{2}+(1/2)mv^{2}\\   v=wR\\Solve for L\\L=((1/2)(1/2)0.015^{2}*60^{2}+(1/2)(60*0.015^{2} ))/9.8Sin30\\   L=0.124m
