In a double slit experiment, the distance between the slits is 0.2 mm and the distance to the screen is 100 cm. What is the phas

Anni [7]

Answer:

The phase difference is $\Delta \phi = 180^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance between the slits is $d = 0.2 \ mm = \frac{0.2}{1000} = 0.2 *10^{-3} \ m$

The distance to the screen is $D = 100 cm = \frac{100}{100} = 1 \ m$

The wavelength is $\lambda = 400nm$

The distance of the wave from the central maximum is $L = 5mm = 5*10^{-3} m$

Generally the path difference of this waves is mathematically represented as

$y = d sin \theta$

Here $\theta$ is the angle between the the line connecting the mid-point of the slits with the screen and the line connecting the mid-point of the slits to the central maximum

This implies that

$tan \theta = \frac{L}{D}$

=> $\theta = tan ^{-1} \frac{L}{D}$

$\theta = tan ^{-1} [\frac{5*10^{-3}}{1}]$

$\theta =0.2865$

Substituting values into the formula for path difference

$y = 0.2 *10^{-3} sin(0.2864)$

$y = 9.997*10^{-7} \ m$

The phase difference is mathematically represented as

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda } * y$

Substituting values

$\Delta \phi = \frac{2 \pi }{400 *10^{-9} } \ * 9.997*10^{-7}$

$\Delta \phi =5 \pi$

Converting to degree

$\Delta \phi =5 \pi radians = 5 (180^o) = 180^o$

the solution is subtracted by 360° in order to get the actual angle

The smallest detail visible with ground-based solar telescopes is about 1 arc second. How large a region (in km) does this repre

mestny [16]

Answer:

x = 727.5 km

Explanation:

With the conditions given using trigonometry, we can find the tangent

tan θ = CO / CA

With CO the opposite leg and CE is the adjacent leg which is the distance from the Tierral to Sun

D =150 10⁶ km (1000m / 1 km)

D = 150 10⁹ m.

We must take the given angle to radians.

1º = 3600 arc s

π rad = 180º

θ = 1 arc s (1º / 3600 s arc) (pi rad / 180º) =

θ = 4.85 10⁻⁶ rad

That angle is extremely small, so we can approximate the tangent to the angle

θ = x / D

x = θ D

x = 4.85 10-6 150 109

x = 727.5 103 m

x = 727.5 km

1. A 9000 kg van was stopped at a traffic light when it rear-ended with an 850 compact car moving to the east at a velocity of 5

____ [38]

Answer:

1.785 m/s

Explanation:

The momentum can be calculated using the expression below

M1 *V1 + M2 * V2 = (M1+M2) V3

M1= mass of van=9000 kg

M2= mass of car= 850kg

V3= velocity of entangled car

V1= Velocity of the van= 0

V2= velocity of the car= 5 m/ s

Substitute the values

(900×0) + (500×5)=( 900+500)× V3

2500=1400 V3

V3=2500/1400

V3= 1.785 m/s

Hence, velocity of the entangled cars after collision is 1.785 m/s

A bowling ball is 21.6 cm in diameter. What is the angular speed of these ball whenit is moving at 3.0 m/s?

sergejj [24]

Answer:

Angular speed = 27.78 rad/s (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter = 21.6 cm

Speed = 3 m/s

Find:

Angular speed

Computation:

Radius = 21.6 / 2 = 10.8 cm = 0.108 m

Angular speed = v / r

Angular speed = 3 / 0.108

Angular speed = 27.78 rad/s (Approx)
