Two slits are illuminated with green light (λ = 540 nm). The slits are 0.05 mm apart and the distance to the screen is 1.5 m. At what distance (in mm) from the central maximum on the screen is the average intensity 50% of the intensity of the central maximum?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.21486 mm

Explanation:

The formula for the maximum intensity is given by;

I = I_o•cos²(Φ/2)

Now,we are not given Φ but it can be expressed in terms of what we are given as; Φ = πdy/(λL)

Where;

y is the distance from the central maximum

d is the distance between the slits

λ is the wavelength

L is the distance to the screen

Thus;

I = I_o•πdy/(λL)

We are given;

d = 0.05 mm = 0.5 × 10^(-3) m

λ = 540 nm = 540 × 10^(-9) m

L = 1.25 m

I/I_o = 50% = 0.5

From earlier, we saw that;

I = I_o•πdy/(λL)

We have I/I_o = 0.5

Thus;

I/I_o = πdy/(λL)

Plugging in the relevant values;

0.5 = (π × 0.5 × 10^(-3) × y)/(540 × 10^(-9) × 1.25)

Making y the subject, we have;

y = (0.5 × 540 × 10^(-9) × 1.25)/(π × 0.5 × 10^(-3))

y = 0.00021486 m

Converting to mm, we have;

y = 0.21486 mm

1. Se tienen 10 moles de gas nitrógeno molecular: N2 en un recipiente a 400 K. Manteniendo la temperatura a 400 K y las 10 moles en el recipiente se disminuye la presión desde 10 atm a 1 atm para obtener un volumen final del gas de 20 litros. El volumen inicial del gas a. 0,5 litros b. 2 litros c. 100 litros d. 200 litros

Answers

Answer:

B. 2 litros.

Explanation:

De acuerdo con el enunciado, el gas experimenta un proceso isotérmico y se conserva su masa. Asumiendo que el gas se comporta idealmente, tenemos la siguiente relación entre los estados final e inicial:

[tex]P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2}[/tex] (1)

Donde:

[tex]P_{1}, P_{2}[/tex] - Presiones inicial y final, medidos en atmósferas.

[tex]V_{1}, V_{2}[/tex] - Volúmenes inicial y final, medidos en litros.

Si sabemos que [tex]P_{1} = 10\,atm[/tex], [tex]P_{2} = 1\,atm[/tex] y [tex]V_{2} = 20\,L[/tex], entonces el volumen inicial del gas es:

[tex]V_{1} = \frac{P_{2}\cdot V_{2}}{P_{1}}[/tex]

[tex]V_{1} = 2\,L[/tex]

Por lo tanto, la respuesta correcta es B.

what is the electric potential at a point in space if a charge of 7.3x 10^-17 coulombs at that point has a potential energy of 6.4

Answers

Answer:

V = 0.87 volt

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, [tex]q=7.3\times 10^{-17}\ C[/tex]

Electric potential energy, [tex]U=6.4\times 10^{-17}\ J[/tex]

We need to find the value of electric potential at a point. The relation is as follows :

[tex]V=\dfrac{U}{q}[/tex]

Where

V is electric potential

So,

[tex]V=\dfrac{6.4\times 10^{-17}}{7.3\times 10^{-17}}\\\\V=0.87\ V[/tex]

So, the value of the electric potential at a point is equal to 0.87 Volts.

The kinetic energy increase is equal to the potential energy decrease.
The potential energy increase is equal to the kinetic energy decrease.
The kinetic energy and potential energy remain the same.
The kinetic energy increase is more than the potential energy decrease.

Answers

Answer:

the kinetic energy decrease is equal to potential energy increase

If the potential energy of pendulum increases then the kinetic energy decreases and if the kinetic energy increases then the potential energy decreases.

what is conservation of energy?

According to the work power theorem the total energy of any object will remain constant like the sum of the kinetic and the potential energy of the object will remain constant.

The potential energy of any object is due to its position with respect to the ground. If the object is at a height of H then it will have a potential energy because some energy is given to that object against the gravity to move it to the height H.

The kinetic energy is the energy due to the velocity of the object and is given as the product of half mass to the velocity square.

Now we will express it in the form of the formula for better understanding .

[tex]\rm Total\ energy= KE+PE[/tex]

Now in the pendulum the motion is back and forth with respect to its mean position. So the total energy in the pendulum is the sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy.

Now if the pendulum attains the maximum displacement from its mean position then it will have maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy at this point.

Now if the pendulum is at the mean position now it will have maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy at this point.At this point the potential energy totally converted to the kinetic energy.

Now at the maximum displacement the kinetic energy totally converts into the potential energy of the pendulum.

Thus If the potential energy of pendulum increases then the kinetic energy decreases and if the kinetic energy increases then the potential energy decreases.

Which of the following statements are true about whether atoms tend to gain
or lose electrons?

A. Atoms with one, two, or three valence electrons will lose
electrons.
B. Atoms with five, six, or seven valence electrons will lose
electrons.
C. Atoms with four valence electrons will always gain electrons.
D. Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose
electrons.

Answers

Answer:

D. Atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose

electrons.

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, these atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Based on the octet rule which states that atoms of chemical elements gain, lose or share electrons so as to have eight (8) electrons in their valence shell. Therefore, atoms of chemical elements bond in order to attain the electronic configuration of a noble gas i.e a full valence shell which comprises of eight (8) electrons.

This ultimately implies that, atoms with eight valence electrons usually do not gain or lose electrons because they're noble gas.

Why are infrared waves located between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum?

Answers

Answer: The infra red waves is located between microwave and visible light based on their WAVELENGTH and FREQUENCY of occurrence.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that do not require or need a material medium for its propagation, but they are able to travel through a vacuum. They exhibit or show all properties associated or connected with light. They are undeflected in electric and magnetic fields. These electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of their FREQUENCY and WAVELENGTHS which is known as ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM.

FREQUENCY is defined as the number of cycles which the wave completes in one second and is measured in Hertz(Hz). While WAVELENGTH is defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of waves which is measured in meter (m).

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of the following rays which is arranged from the biggest wavelengths to the smallest:

--> Radiowaves

--> microwave :

--> infrared rays:

--> visible light:

--> ultraviolet rays

--> x-rays and

--> Gamma rays.

According to the arrangement of the spectrum above, the microwave has a higher wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays, while the visible light has a lower wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays.
