A Michelson interferometer uses light from a sodium lamp. Sodium atoms emit light having wavelengths 589.0 nm and 589.6 nm. The

interferometer is initially set up with both arms of equal length (L1=L2), producing a bright spot at the center of the interference pattern. How far must mirror M2 be moved so that one wavelength has produced one more new maxima than the other wavelength?

The distance mirror M2 must be moved so that one wavelength has produced one more new maxima than the other wavelength is;

<u><em>L = 57.88 mm</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

We are given;

Wavelength 1; λ₁ = 589 nm = 589 × 10⁻⁹ m

Wavelength 2; λ₂ = 589.6 nm = 589.6 × 10⁻⁹ m

We are told that L₁ = L₂. Thus, we will adopt L.

Formula for the number of bright fringe shift is;

m = 2L/λ

Thus;

For Wavelength 1;

m₁ = 2L/(589 × 10⁻⁹)

For wavelength 2;

m₂ = 2L/(589.6)

Now, we are told that one wavelength must have produced one more new maxima than the other wavelength. Thus;

m₁ - m₂ = 2

Plugging in the values of m₁ and m₂ gives;

(2L/589) - (2L/589.6) = 2

divide through by 2 to get;

L[(1/589) - (1/589.6)] = 1

L(1.728 × 10⁻⁶) = 1

L = 1/(1.728 × 10⁻⁶)

L = 578790.67 nm

L = 57.88 mm

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Part A the answer is the dielectric constant.

Part B  Mica- mylar- paper- quartz

Explanation:

The capacity of a capacitor is given by

           C = ε ε₀ A / d

Where the dielectric constant (ε) is the value of the material between the plates of the capacitor, we see that as if value increases the capacity also increases.

Another magnitude that we must take into account that the maximum working voltage, the greater the safer is the capacitor

the flexibility of the material must also be taken into account

Part A the answer is the dielectric constant.

Pate B order the materials from best to worst

Mica. The best ever

Mylar Flexible

Paper Low capacity, low working voltage, flexible

Quartz high dielectric, but brittle
