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>

What's the formula for efficiency?​
Neko [114]

Answer:

r=P/C, where P is the amount of useful output ("product") produced per the amount C ("cost") of resources consumed.

Explanation:

Efficiency is often measured as the ratio of useful output to total input, which can be expressed with the mathematical formula r=P/C, where P is the amount of useful output ("product") produced per the amount C ("cost") of resources consumed.

On the asteroid Cere, the acceleration due to gravity is about 0.27 m/s^2. How long would it take a ball to fall to the ground i
KiRa [710]

Answer:

F. 25.82 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 90 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 0.27 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

90 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (0.27 m/s²) t²

t = 25.82 s
