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.

10 A particle in circular motion performs 30 oscillations in 6<br> seconds. Its angular velocity is?
Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Let omega = angular velocity (in rad/s). Then

omega = (# of oscillations)/(6 s)

= (30 osc)/(6 s) = 5 osc/s

We need to convert this to rad/s:

omega = (5 osc/s)(2π rad/osc)

= 10π rad/s

= 31.4 rad/s

Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.

On planet X, an object weighs 7.04 N. Onplanet B where the magnitude of the free-fallacceleration is 1.91g(whereg= 9.8 m/s2isthe
timurjin [86]
<h2>Mass of object in Earth is 1.37 kg</h2>

Explanation:

On planet B where the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration is 1.91g , the object weighs 25.74 N.

We have

           Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity

On planet B

           25.74 = Mass x 1.91 g

           25.74 = Mass x 1.91 x 9.81

           Mass = 1.37 kg

Mass is constant for an object. It will not change with location.

Mass of object in Earth = Mass of object in Planet B

Mass of object in Earth = 1.37 kg
