(a) How many fringes appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit

pattern if λ = 471 nm, d = 0.117 mm, and a = 35.7 µm? (b) What is the ratio of the intensity of the third bright fringe to the intensity of the central fringe?

Answer:

a

The number of fringe is  z  = 3 fringes

b

The  ratio is I = 0.2545I_o

Explanation:

a

 From the question we are told that

        The wavelength is  \lambda = 600 nm

        The distance between the slit is  d = 0.117mm = 0.117 *10^{-3} m

        The width of the slit is  a = 35.7 \mu m = 35.7 *10^{-6}m

let  z be the number of fringes that appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit pattern is  and this mathematically represented as

             z = \frac{d}{a}

Substituting values

             z = \frac{0.117*10^{-3}}{35.7 *10^{-6}}  

             z  = 3 fringes

b

   From the question  we are told that the order  of the bright fringe is  n = 3

   Generally the intensity of  a pattern  is mathematically represented as

                 I = I_o cos^2 [\frac{\pi d sin \theta}{\lambda} ][\frac{sin (\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda } )}{\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda} } ]

Where I_o is the intensity  of the  central fringe

 And  Generally  sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda }{d}

               I = I_o co^2 [ \frac{\pi (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} ] [\frac{\frac{sin (\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} }{\frac{\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} } ]

               I = I_o cos^2 (n \pi)[\frac{\frac{sin(\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} )}{ \frac{ \pi a (\frac{n \lambda }{d} )}{\lambda} } ]

               I = I_o cos^2 (3 \pi) [\frac{sin (\frac{3 \pi }{6} )}{\frac{3 \pi}{6} } ]

                I = I_o (1)(0.2545)

                  I = 0.2545I_o

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of lines per unit length, N = 900 slits per cm

Distance between the formed pattern and the grating, l = 2.3 m

n the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm, \Delta Y=2.98\ mm = 0.00298\ m

Let d is the slit width of the grating,

d=\dfrac{1}{N}

d=\dfrac{1}{900\ cm}

d=1.11\times 10^{-5}\ m

For the first wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

y_1=\dfrac{L\lambda_1}{d}

For the other wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

y_2=\dfrac{L\lambda_2}{d}

So,

\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{\Delta y d}{l}

\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{0.00298\times 1.11\times 10^{-5}}{2.3}

\Delta \lambda=1.43\times 10^{-8}\ m

or

\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm

So, the difference between these wavelengths is 14.3 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 3kg ball moving at 8 m/s strikes a 2kg ball at rest,if the collision is elastic,what is the speed of the lighter ball if the h
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Speed of lighter ball is 4 m/s.

Explanation:

Applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum,

momentum before collision = momentum after collision.

m_{1}u_{1} + m_{2} u_{2} = m_{1}v_{1} - m_{2}v_{2}

m_{1} = 3 kg, u_{1} = 8 m/s, m_{2} = 2 kg, u_{2} = 0 m/s ( since it is at rest), v_{1} = 2 m/s, v_{2} = ?

(3 x 8) + (2 x 0) = (8 x 2) - (2 x v_{2})

24 + 0 = 16 - 2v_{2}

2v_{2} = 16 - 24

2v_{2} = -8

v_{2} = \frac{-8}{2}

   = -4 m/s

This implies that the light ball moves at the speed of 4 m/s in the opposite direction of the heavier ball after collision.

How are sublimation and deposition different from each other
yanalaym [24]
There are six distinct changes of phase which happens to different substances at different temperatures. ... Sublimation: the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase. Deposition: the substance changes directly from a gas to a solid without going through the liquid phase.
