Answer:
The width of the slit is 0.167 mm
Explanation:
Wavelength of light,
Distance from screen to slit, D = 88.5 cm = 0.885 m
The distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is 1.61 cm, y = 1.61 cm = 0.0161 m
We need to find the width of the slit. The formula for the distance on the screen between the fifth order minimum and the central maximum is :
where
a = width of the slit
a = 0.000167 m
a = 0.167 mm
So, the width of the slit is 0.167 mm. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Line 3 has a mistake.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to the each other. Therefore, Line 1 is correct.
Also, the fields in an electromagnetic waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave: therefore, they are transverse waves. So Line 2 is also correct.
Electromagnetic waves, contrary to mechanical waves, do not need a medium to propagate: so, they can also travel through a vacuum. Therefore, Line 3 is wrong.
Finally, all electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum at the same speed, called speed of light:
So, Line 4 is also correct.
