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

Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".

A student uses the right-hand rule as shown.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: O:right

Explanation: In this case you place your finger on the current, and your fingers should curl showing the way, you must use your right hand in this case, otherwise that would mean the fingers on your left would bend way back, and snap off, (Not really lol,  just saying)

You have a grindstone (a disk) that is 95.2 kg, has a 0.399 m radius, and is turning at 93 rpm, and you press a steel axe agains
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

angular acceleration is -0.2063  rad/s²

Explanation:

Given data

mass m = 95.2 kg

radius r = 0.399 m

turning ω = 93 rpm

radial force N  = 19.6 N

kinetic coefficient of friction  μ = 0.2

to find out

angular acceleration

solution

we know frictional force that is = radial force × kinetic coefficient of friction

frictional force = 19.6 × 0.2

frictional force = 3.92 N

and

we know moment of inertia  that is

γ =  I ×α = frictional force × r

so

γ  = 1/2 mr²α

α  = -2f /mr

α  = -2(3.92) /95.2 (0.399)

α  = - 7.84 / 37.9848 = -0.2063

so angular acceleration is -0.2063  rad/s²

A spring is compressed 0.035 m inside a dart gun. (K=500 N/m). The spring has elastic energy. Calculate it.
NARA [144]

The elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.31 J

Explanation:

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by

E=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

where

k is the spring constant

x is the compression/stretching of the spring

For the spring in this problem, we have:

k = 500 N/m (spring constant)

x = 0.035 m (compression)

Substituting, we find the elastic potential energy:

E=\frac{1}{2}(500)(0.035)^2=0.31 J

A 20.5 kg ball moving at 38.5 m/s on a horizontal, frictionless surface runs into a light spring of force
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

7.68 m

Explanation:

Kinetic energy in ball = elastic energy in spring

KE = EE

½ mv² = ½ kx²

mv² = kx²

x = v √(m / k)

x = (38.5 m/s) √(20.5 kg / 515 N/m)

x = 7.68 m
