Explain diffraction at a single slit (light)

Physics
1 answer:
Leto [7]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

At some point on say, the receiving screen, light emanating from the left side of the slit will be out of phase (a difference of 1/2 wavelengths) from   light coming from the center of the slit.

Thus for every point that is left of the center of the slit, there will be a point on the right side of the slit that is out of phase,

There will be no light on the screen at that particular point and thus there will be a dark fringe there.

That is the basic explanation for the appearance of dark and bright fringes on the receiving screen.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

4.15 x 10^6 N

Explanation:

Area, A = 1.43 cm^2 = 1.43 x 10^-4 m^2

mass, m = 60.5 kg

Weight, F = m g = 60.5 x 9.8 = 592.9 N

Pressure = Force / Area

P = Weight / Area

P = 592.9 / (1.43 x 10^-4)

P = 4.15 x 10^6 N

The whole body metabolic rate of a bottlenose dolphin is 8000kcalsday. The dolphin weighs 190kg. What is the mass specific metab
Komok [63]

Answer: 42.1

Explanation:

Mass specific metabolic rate of a dolphin can be defined as the rate at which the dolphin consume energy per unit mass of body weight.

R = E/M

Where R = mass specific metabolic rate

E = Energy consumption = 8000kcalsday

M = mass = 190kg

R = 8000kcalsday/190kg

R = 42.1
