Light from a sodium lamp passes through a diffraction grating having 1000 slits per millimeter. The interference pattern is view

ed on a screen of 1.00m behind the grating. Two bright yellow fringes are visible 72.88cm and 73.00cm from the central maximum.
What are the wavelengths of these two fringes?

Answer:

The wavelengths of these two fringes is 589.61 x 10∧9

Explanation:

d = slit width = 0.001/1000 = 1 x 10-6 m

X1 = Position of first fringe = 0.7288 m

X2 = Position of second fringe = 0.73 m

D = distance of the screen

tan\theta1 = X1/D \Rightarrow\theta1 = tan-1(X1/D ) = tan-1(0.7288/1 ) = 36.085

tan\theta2 = X2/D \Rightarrow\theta2 = tan-1(X2/D ) = tan-1(0.73/1 ) = 36.129

position of first bright fringe is given as

d Sin\theta1 = n\lambda1

for bright fringe , n = 1

d Sin\theta1 = \lambda1

\lambda1 = (1 x 10-6 ) Sin36.085 = 589 x 10-9

position of second bright fringe is given as

d Sin\theta2 = n\lambda2

for bright fringe , n = 1

d Sin\theta2 = \lambda2

\lambda2 = (1 x 10-6 ) Sin36.129 = 589.61 x 10-9

A damped harmonic oscillator consists of a block of mass 2.5 kg attached to a spring with spring constant 10 N/m to which is app

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

0.5% per oscillation

Explanation:

The term 'damped oscillation' means an oscillation that fades away with time. For Example; a swinging pendulum.

Kinetic energy, KE= 1/2×mv^2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

Where m= Mass, v= velocity.

Also, Elastic potential energy,PE=1/2×kX^2----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(2).

Where k= force constant, X= displacement.

Mechanical energy= potential energy (when a damped oscillator reaches maximum displacement).

Therefore, we use equation (3) to get the resonance frequency,

W^2= k/m--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(3)

Slotting values into equation (3).

= 10/2.5.

= ✓4.

= 2 s^-1.

Recall that, F= -kX

F^2= (-0.1)^2

Potential energy,PE= 1/2 ×0.01

Potential energy= 0.05 ×100

= 0.5% per oscillation.

Crazy boy [7]

It would be a really bad idea to eat the snow because you obviously are trying to stay warm right? Well, the best thing to do is melt the snow. However, the process of melting the snow would have a few complications as well. But yes, the latter idea (drinking the snow) is a better idea (not the best).

A baseball thrown at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal strikes a building 16.0 m away at a point 8.00 m above the point fro

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

a) $v_{o} =16m/s$

b) $v=9.8m/s$

c) $\beta =-35.46º$

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that the ball strikes the building 16m away and its final height is 8m more than the initial

Being said that, we can calculate the initial velocity of the ball

a) First we analyze its horizontal motion

$x=v_{ox}t$

$x=v_{o}cos(60)t$

$v_{o}=\frac{x}{tcos(60)}=\frac{16m}{tcos(60)}$ (1)

That would be our first equation

Now, we need to analyze its vertical motion

$y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y_{o}+8=y_{o}+v_{o}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

Knowing $v_{o}$ in our first equation (1)

$8=\frac{16}{tcos(60)}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2=16tan(60)-8$

Solving for t

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2(16tan(60)-8)}{9.8} } =2s$

So, the ball takes to seconds to get to the other building. Now we can calculate its <u>initial velocity</u>

$v_{o}=\frac{16m}{(2s)cos(60)}=16m/s$

b) To find the <u>magnitude of the ball just before it strikes the building</u> we need to calculate its x and y components

$v_{x}=v_{ox}+at=16cos(60)=8m/s$

$v_{y}=v_{oy}+gt=16sin(60)-(9.8)(2)=-5.7m/s$

So, the magnitude of the velocity is:

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(8m/s)^2+(-5.7m/s)^2}=9.8m/s$

c) The <u><em>direction of the ball</em></u> is:

$\beta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.7}{8})=-35.46º$

A rod with a rest length of 1m whizzes past an observer at a speed of 0.995c, where c is the speed of light. Is it possible that

Tresset [83]

Answer:

B. no

Explanation:

When any body moves at a speed comparable to the speed of light (<em>i.e. relativistic speed</em>) then the observer sees a contraction in length of the body along the axis of motion.

Assuming that the motion of the body is along the axis of the rod, then the observer will measure its length to be lesser than its length at rest.

<u>Then according to Einstein's theory of relativity:</u>

$L=\frac{L_0}{\gamma}$

where:

$L_0=$ original length of the object (along the direction of motion)

L = observed length of the rod

$\gamma =$ Lorentz factor

$\gamma\equiv \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }$
