Answer:

Explanation:

λ = wave length = 632 x 10⁻⁹

slit width a = 2 x 10⁻³ m

angular separation of central maxima

= 2 x λ /a

= 2 x 632 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 632 x 10⁻⁶ rad

width in m of light spot.

= 632 x 10⁻⁶  x 376000 km

= 237.632 km

diamong [38]

Answer:

 2n t = m λ₀ ,    R = 0.240 mm

Explanation:

The interference by regency in thin films uses two rays mainly the one reflected on the surface and the one reflected on the inside of the film.

The ray that is reflected in the upper part of the film has a phase change of 180º since the ray stops from a medium with a low refractive index to one with a higher regrading index,

-This phase change is the introduction of a λ/2 change

-The ray passing through the film has a change in wavelength due to the refractive index of the medium

          λ₀ = λ / n

Therefore Taking into account this fact the destructive interference expression introduces an integer phase change, then the extra distance 2t is

        2 t = (m’+ ½ + ½) λ₀ / n

        2t = (m’+1) λ₀ / n

         m = m’+ 1

        2n t = m λ₀

        With   m = 0, 1, 2, ...

Where t is the thickness of the film, n the refractive index of the medium, λ the wavelength

The thickness of a hair is the thickness of the film t

           2R = t

             R = t / 2

             R = 0480/2

              R = 0.240 mm

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

d). The value of y should be -32m

Vx=0.92 m/s

Explanation:

Using equation of motion uniform to y motion

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}\\x_{o}=0m\\v_{o}=0\\x_{f}=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}\\x_{f}=-3.2m \\a=g=-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}} \\

So to find t that is the same time for all the motion

t^{2}=\frac{2*x_{f}}{a} \\t=\sqrt{\frac{2*x_{f}}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2*-3.2m}{-9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}\\t=0.808s

The value of Xf=-3.2m because the g is negative from the axis

Now in the axis 'x' to find Vx

Vx=\frac{0.75m}{0.808S}\\ Vx=0.92 \frac{m}{s}
