Explain diffraction at a single slit (light)

Physics

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 pilot is upside down at the top of an inverted loop of radius 3.20 x 103 m. At the top of the loop his normal force is only on

n200080 [17]

Answer:

6858.5712 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

Radius, r

R = 3.20 * 10^3.

Normal force = 0.5 * normal weight

Normal force = Fn ; Normal weight = Fg

Fn = 0.5Fg

Recall:

mv² / R = Fn + Fg

Fn = 0.5Fg

mv² / R = 0.5Fg + Fg

mv² /R = 1.5Fg

mv² = 1.5Fg * R

F = mg

mv² = 1.5* mg * R

v² = 1.5gR

v = sqrt(1.5gR)

V = sqrt(1.5 * 9.8 * 3.2 * 10^3)

V = sqrt(47.04^3)

V = 6858.5712 m/s

A missile is launched vertically from a missile silo, it will explode after 32 s. It's launch speed was 145 m/s, and it doesn't

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Landed before it explodes

Explanation:

vf = vi + at,

0 = 145 - (9.8)t,

t = 14.79 s (Time to reach highest point)

14.79 x 2 = 29.59 s (Time to land on the ground)

It will have landed before it explodes because both the time to reach the highest point and the time to land on the ground are less than 32 seconds.
