When laser light of wavelength 632.8 nm passes through a diffraction grating, the first bright spots occur at ± 17.8 ∘ from the

central maximum. at what angles do the second bright spots occur?

The equation we use is mλ=dsinθ for intensity maximas. We are given at the first maximum (m=1), it occurs at 17.8 degrees. Thus we can solve for d by substituting known values into our equation.

(1) (632.8*10^-9m)=dsin(17.8) => d = 2.07*10^-6m

Next we want to find the angle at the second maximum (m=2) so we need to solve for θ.

(2) (632.8*10^-9m) = (2.07*10^-6m)sinθ

θ=37.69 degrees

Hopes this helps!

P.S. I hope this is right. If not sorry in advance.

Two oppositely charged but otherwise identical conducting plates of area 2.50 square centimeters are separated by a dielectric 1
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

A). σ = 3.823 x 10^{-5} C^{2}/N-m^{2}

B). \sigma ^{'}=2.76\times 10^{-5} C/m^{2}

C). U=10.322 J

Explanation:

A). We know magnitude of charge per unit area for a conducting plate is given by

\sigma =k.\varepsilon _{0}.E

where, E is resultant electric field = 1.2 x 10^{6} V/m

           \varepsilon _{0} is permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10^{-12} C^{2}/N-m^{2}

           k is dielectric constant = 3.6

∴\sigma =k.\varepsilon _{0}.E

                     = 3.6 x 8.85 x10^{-12} x 1.2 x 10^{6}

                    = 3.823 x 10^{-5} C^{2}/N-m^{2}

B).Now we know that the magnitude of charge per unit area on the surface of the dielectric plate is given by

\sigma ^{'}=\sigma\left ( 1-\frac{1}{k} \right )

\sigma ^{'}=3.823\times 10^{-5}\left ( 1-\frac{1}{3.6} \right )

\sigma ^{'}=2.76\times 10^{-5} C/m^{2}

C).

Area of the plate, A = 2.5 cm^{2}

                                 = 2.5 x 10^{-4}m^{2}

diameter of the plate, d = 1.8 mm

                                        = 1800 m

∴ Total energy stored in the capacitor

U=\frac{1}{2}k\varepsilon _{0}E^{2}Ad

U=\frac{1}{2}\times 3.6\times8.85 \times10^{-12}\times\left ( 1.2\times 10^{6} \right ) ^{2}\times 2.5\times 10^{-4}\times 1800

U=10.322 J

Submarine a travels horizontally at 11.0 m/s through ocean water. it emits a sonar signal of frequency f 5 5.27 3 103 hz in the
xeze [42]
Velocity of submarine A is vs = 11.0m/s
frequency emitted by submarine A. F = 55.273 × 10∧3HZ
Velocity of submarine B = vO = 3.00m/s
The given equation is
f' = ((V + vO) ((v - vS)) × f
The observer on submarine detects the frequency f'.
The sign of vO should be positive as the observer of submarine B is moving away from the source of submarine A.
The speed of the sound used in seawater is 1533m/s
The frequency which is detected by submarine B is 
fo = fs (V -vO/ v +vs)
= 53.273 × 10∧3hz) ((1533 m/s - 4.5 m/s)/ (1533 m/s +11 m/s)
fo = 5408 HZ

Un cable está tendido sobre dos postes colocados con una separación de 10 m. A la mitad del cable se cuelga un letrero que provo
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

El peso del cartel es 397,97 N

Explanation:

La tensión dada en cada segmento del cable = 2000 N

El desplazamiento vertical del cable = 50 cm = 0,5 m

La distancia entre los polos = 10 m

La posición del letrero en el cable = En el medio = 5

El ángulo de inclinación del cable a la vertical = tan⁻¹ (0.5 / 5) = 5.71 °

El peso del letrero = La suma del componente vertical de la tensión en cada lado del letrero

El peso del signo = 2000 × sin (5.71 grados) + 2000 × sin (5.71 grados) = 397.97 N

El peso del signo = 397,97 N.

lisov135 [29]
So the equation for angular velocity is

Omega = 2(3.14)/T

Where T is the total period in which the cylinder completes one revolution.

In order to find T, the tangential velocity is

V = 2(3.14)r/T

When calculated, I got V = 3.14

When you enter that into the angular velocity equation, you should get 2m/s
