A double slit apparatus is held 1.2 m from a screen. [___/4] (a) When red light (λ = 600 nm) is sent through the double slit, th

e interference pattern on the screen shows a distance of 12.5 cm between the first and tenth dark fringes. What is the separation of the slits? (b) What will be the difference in path length for the waves travelling from each slit to the tenth nodal line?

A. To solve for part A, we use the formula of Young’s double slit equation:

x = λ L m / d<span>

</span>Where,

x = distance between adjacent dark lines or fringes = 12.5 cm = 0.125 m

λ = wavelength of light = 600 × 10^-9 m

L = distance from the two sources of light to the screen = 1.2 m

m = number of fringes = 10 (tenth) – 1 (first) = 9

d = separation of slits = unknown

Rearranging the equation in terms of d and plugging in the values:

d = λ L m / x

d = (600 × 10^-9 m) (1.2 m) (9) / 0.125 m

d = 5.184 × 10^-5 m

d = 51.84 μm

B. The formula for path difference is:

path difference = (2 m + 1) (λ / 2)<span>
path difference = (2 * 9 + 1) (</span>600 × 10^-9 m / 2)

<span>path difference = 5.7 × 10-6 m</span>
<span>path difference = 5.7 μm</span>

9ma electric current is flowing through a conducting wire , then the number of electron passing through it in 3 min is

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

1.0125 x 10^19

Explanation:

current flowing through conductive wire= 9mA = 9 x 10^ -3 A

charge passing per 3 min

Q = It

= 9 x 10^ -3 x (3 x 60)

= 1.620 C

no of electrons in charge

Q = ne

1.620 = n x 1.6 x 10 ^ -19

n. = 1.0125 x 10 ^19

Two swift canaries fly toward each other, each moving at 15.0 m/s relative to the ground, each warbling a note of frequency 1750

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Part a)

f = 1911.5 Hz

Part b)

$\lambda = 0.186 m$

Explanation:

Here the source and observer both are moving towards each other

so we know that the apparent frequency is given as

$f' = f_0 (\frac{v + v_o}{v - v_s})$

here we know that

$f_0 = 1750 Hz$

$v_o = 15 m/s$

$v_s = 15 m/s$

now we will have

$f' = (1750)(\frac{340 + 15}{340 - 15})$

$f' = 1911.5 Hz$

Part b)

Apparent wavelength is given by the formula

$\lambda = \frac{v_{relative}}{f_{app}}$

here we will have

$\lambda = \frac{340 + 15}{1911.5}$

$\lambda = 0.186 m$

calculate the workdone to stretch an elastic string by 40cm if a force of 10N produces an extension of 4cm in it

Lera25 [3.4K]

The force of F=10 N produces an extension of
$x=4 cm=0.04 m$
on the string, so the spring constant is equal to
$k= \frac{F}{x}= \frac{10 N}{0.04 m}=250 N/m$

Then the string is stretched by $\Delta x=40 cm=0.40 m$ . The work done to stretch the string by this distance is equal to the variation of elastic potential energy of the string with respect to its equilibrium position:
$W= \Delta U= \frac{1}{2}k(\Delta x)^2 = \frac{1}{2}(250 N/m)(0.40 m)^2=20 J$
