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.

A kid on a playground swing makes a complete to-and-fro swing each 2 seconds.

sashaice [31]

Answer:

The frequency of the swing: 1/2 Hertz

The period is: 2 Seconds

Explanation:

The time the kid takes to make a complete to-and-fro swing = 2 seconds

The period, T, is the time it takes to make one complete cycle of an oscillatory motion, therefore, we have;

The frequency, f, is the number of cycles completed each second, therefore, we have;

The time for 1 cycle = 2 seconds

2 seconds = 1 cycle

Dividing both sides by 2 gives;

2/2 seconds = 1/2 cycles

2/2 = 1

In 2/2 = 1 seconds The number of cycles completed = 1/2 cycles

Therefore, the number of cycles completed per (one) second = 1/2 cycles

Therefore the frequency of the swing, f = 1/2 cycle/seconds = 1/2 Hertz

The period, T, is the time it takes to complete one to-and-fro swing which is one cycle which is 2 seconds

Therefore, the period is 2 Seconds.

A 65.0 kg ice skater standing on frictionless ice throws a 0.15 kg snowball horizontally at a speed of 32.0 m/s. What is the vel

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

(d) 0.07 m/s

Explanation:

Given Data

Snowball mass m₁=0.15 kg

Ice skater mass m₂=65.0 kg

Snowball velocity v₁=32.0 m/s

To find

Velocity of Skater v₂=?

Solution

From law of conservation of momentum

$m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}\\ v_{2}=\frac{m_{1}v_{1}}{m_{2}}\\ v_{2}=\frac{(0.15kg)(32.0m/s)}{65.0kg}\\ v_{2}=0.0738m/s\\or\\v_{2}=0.07 m/s$

So Option d is correct one

What is the magnitude of velocity for a 2000 kg car possessing 3000 kgm/s of momentum

Alex

For this case we have that by definition, the momentum is given by:

$p = mv$

Where,

<em>m: mass </em>
<em>v: speed </em>

Therefore, replacing values we have:

$3000 = (2000) v$

From here, we clear the value of the speed:

$v = \frac {3000} {2000}\\v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}$

Answer:

The magnitude of velocity is:

$v = 1.5 \frac {m} {s}$
