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>

ANALOGY, Metal ions: buoys, as electrons: _____.
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

a. water

Explanation:

A buoy is a floating object that is used in the sea to locate some point or as a checkpoint. It stays at its designated position in the sea by means of an anchor chain. This chain is made short in length according to the water depth do the buoy can not deviate much from its position. The same mechanism can be applied to the metal ion. When a metal ion is formed it remains at its place, but the electrons are mobile and they travel when they get a medium. For example in circuits or from one atom to other. And for the case of buoy, the water serves as electrons as the water is moving in the medium. Hence, the second analogy will be:

electrons : water

So, the correct option is:

<u>a. water</u>

Your diagram is a muscle that helps you breathe. do you think this muscle is voluntary or involuntary? Explain.

The diaphragm is primarily an involuntary muscle. Although voluntary means can be achieved, such as when you hold your breath while swimming, this is temporary as the diaphragm will eventually work on its own to supply your body with oxygen.

Light of a given wavelength is used to illuminate the surfacce of a metal, however, no photoelectrons are emitted. In order to c
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

B. use light of a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

We know that

E= \frac{hc}{\lambda}

h= plank's constant

c= speed of light

λ= wavelength of the incident light

so, in order to have sufficient energy for for the emission of electron, the incident's radiation must have λ small enough.

B. use light of a shorter wavelength.

A ball is thrown so that its initial vertical and horizontal components of velocity are 30 m/s and 15 m/s, respectively. Estimat
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

H = 45 m

Explanation:

First we find the launch velocity of the ball by using the following formula:

v₀ = √(v₀ₓ² + v₀y²)

where,

v₀ = launching velocity = ?

v₀ₓ = Horizontal Component of Launch Velocity = 15 m/s

v₀y = Vertical Component of Launch Velocity = 30 m/s

Therefore,

v₀ = √[(15 m/s)² + (30 m/s)²]

v₀ = 33.54 m/s

Now, we find the launch angle of the ball by using the following formula:

θ = tan⁻¹ (v₀y/v₀ₓ)

θ = tan⁻¹ (30/15)

θ = tan⁻¹ (2)

θ = 63.43°

Now, the maximum height attained by the ball is given by the formula:

H = (v₀² Sin² θ)/2g

H = (33.54 m/s)² (Sin² 63.43°)/2(10 m/s²)

<u>H = 45 m</u>
