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

Which of the following statements about dark matter and dark energy is/are true? Choose one or more: Both exceed the matter-ener
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

  • Both exceed the matter-energy equivalent of luminous matter
  • Dark matter has only an attractive gravitational effect, while the dark energy is repulsive in  nature

Explanation:

Dark matter is defined as the matter which consists of about 85% of the total matter of the universe and is no-baryonic in nature.

It is attractive in nature and exerts gravitational pulling effect. Even individual galaxies are under the influence of dark matter. It is way more powerful than the visible matter.

Dark energy is that form of energy which is said to be responsible for the universe's expansion and is repulsive in nature
