Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, thin object, such as a strand of hair. In that case, a is the width of the strand. From actual laboratory measurements on a human hair, it was found that when a beam of light of wavelength 631.8 nm was shone on a single strand of hair, and the diffracted light was viewed on a screen 1.20 m away, the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright spot were 5.02 cm apart.

Required:
How thick was this strand of hair?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 1.51 x 10⁻⁵ m = 15.1 μm

Explanation:

We will use young's Double Slit formula here:

[tex]Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\d = \frac{\lambda L}{Y}[/tex]

where,

d = width of strand = ?

λ = wavelength = 631.8 nm = 6.318 x 10⁻⁷ m

L = Screen to hair distance = 1.2 m

Y = fringe spacing = 5.02 cm = 0.0502 m

Therefore,

[tex]d = \frac{(6.318\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(1.2\ m)}{0.0502\ m}[/tex]

d = 1.51 x 10⁻⁵ m = 15.1 μm

A thin film of acetone (n=1.25) lies on the surface of a thick piece of water (n=1.30). White light shines down from air onto the thin layer of acetone. Destructive interference occurs for m=3 for a wavelength in air of 600 nm. What is the thickness of the thin film?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The wave of light is being reflected two times while going from lower to higher refractive index mediums

So there will be phase reversal two times .

Condition of destructive index

2 μ t = ( 2m+1) λ / 2

Substituting the values

2 x 1.25 x t = ( 2 x 3 + 1 ) x 600nm / 2

2.5 t = 2100 nm

t = 840 nm .

what is the acceleration of each body of mass 5kg rests on a frictionless table and is connected to a cable that passes over a pulley onto a hanging body of mass 10kg​

Answers

Answer:

6.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Let m₁ = 5 kg and m₂ = 10 kg. The figure is attached and free body diagrams of the objects are also attached.

Both objects (m₁ and m₂) have the same magnitude of acceleration(a). Let g be the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s². Hence:

T = m₁a               (1)

m₂g - T = m₂a    (2)

substituting T = m₁a in equation 2:

m₂g - m₁a = m₂a

m₂a + m₁a = m₂g

a(m₁ + m₂) = m₂g

a = m₂g / (m₁ + m₂)

a = (10 kg * 9.8 m/s²) / (10 kg + 5 kg) = 6.53 m/s²

Both objects have an acceleration of 6.53 m/s²

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.10 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.600 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 6.50 m apart.

Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

a) We know that;

v = λf

Where;

λ = wavelength of the wave

f = frequency of the wave

v = velocity of the wave

So;

T = 2 * 2.10 s = 4.2 s

Hence f = 1/4.2 s

f = 0.24 Hz

The wavelength =  6.5 m

Hence;

v = 6.5 m * 0.24 Hz

v = 1.56 m/s

b)The amplitude of the wave is;

A =  0.600 m/2 = 0.300 m

c) Since the wave speed does not depend on the amplitude of the wave then the answer in (a) above remains the same

Where d = 0.30 m

If you make multiple measurements of your height, you are likely to find that the results vary by nearly half an inch in either direction due to measurement error and actual variations in height. You are slightly shorter in the evening, after gravity has compressed and reshaped your spine over the course of a day. One measurement of a man's height is 6 feet and 1 inch. Express his height in meters, using the appropriate number of significant figures.

Answers

Answer:

H = 1.85 m

Explanation:

First, we will convert the height completely into inches. 1 feet contains 12 inches in it. Therefore:

H = (6 feet)(12 inch/1 feet) + 1 inch

H = 73 inches

Now, we will convert this height from inches to meters. 1 inch is equivalent to 0.0254 m. Therefore:

H = (73 inches)(0.0254 m/1 inch)

H = 1.85 m

The roof is a better insulator
The roof is less likely to leak
The rate of energy transfer by conduction is greater
Weather will have a greater effect on the temperature of the house

Answers

Answer:

less energy is needed to heat the house

the roof is a better insulator

The correct advantage of having a roof with a lower thermal conductivity is Less energy is needed to heat the house. The correct answer is option 1.

A roof with lower thermal conductivity acts as a better insulator, reducing heat transfer between the interior and exterior of the house. This means that during colder months, less heat escapes through the roof, requiring less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. Additionally, a roof with lower thermal conductivity will help regulate indoor temperatures more effectively, making it a better insulator against external weather conditions. It does not directly affect the likelihood of roof leaks or increase the rate of energy transfer by conduction. Option 1 is correct.

F = ma

F = qvB and [tex]$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$[/tex]

Substituting these values in the second law of Newton,

[tex]$qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}$[/tex]

Which situation is contrary to Newton’s first law of motion?

An object at rest begins to move when an external force is applied.
A moving object has a constant velocity under the influence of balanced forces.
An object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.
A moving object slows down when an external force is applied.

Answers

Answer:

An object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.

Explanation:

Inertia can be defined as the tendency of an object or a body to continue in its state of motion or remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

In physics, Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion is known as Law of Inertia and it states that, an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

The inertia of a physical object such as a truck is greatly dependent or influenced by its mass; the higher the quantity of matter in a truck, the greater will be its tendency to continuously remain at rest.

Hence, the situation which is contrary to Newton’s first law of motion is that, an object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces act on it.

According to Newton’s first law of motion, an object at rest stays at rest as long as unbalanced forces do not act on it.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer will be:

(a) 27.3 m/s

(b) 3.8 s

Explanation:

According to the question:

Acceleration,

[tex]a= 4.2 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Time,

[tex]t = 6.5 \ s[/tex]

(a)

The gazelles top speed will be:

⇒  [tex]V_{max} = at[/tex]

             [tex]=4.2\times 6.5[/tex]

             [tex]=27.3 \ m/s[/tex]

or,

             [tex]= 27 \ m/s[/tex]

(b)

As we know,

s = 30 m

Now,

⇒  [tex]s = \frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]

or,

⇒  [tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a} }[/tex]

On putting the given values, we get

       [tex]=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 30}{4.2} }[/tex]

       [tex]=\sqrt{\frac{60}{4.2} }[/tex]

Model the care and passengers as a single body on a single ideal spring. If the loaded has a period of vibration of 1.08 s, what is the period of vibration of the empty car?

Answers

Answer:

The time period of the empty car will be "1.00 s".

Explanation:

The given values in the question will be:

Mass,

m = 250 kg

Loaded car's time period will be:

T = 1.08 s

Shock absorbers compression,

x = 4 cm

or,

  = 0.04 m

Now,

Weight of passengers will be:

⇒  [tex]F=mg[/tex]

         [tex]=250\times 9.8[/tex]

         [tex]=2450 \ N[/tex]

The spring constant of shock absorbers will be:

⇒  [tex]k=\frac{F}{x}[/tex]

        [tex]=\frac{2450}{0.04}[/tex]

        [tex]=61.250 \ N/m[/tex]

As we know,

Time period, [tex]T = 2 \pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

                   [tex]1.08=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{61250} }[/tex]

                  [tex]\frac{M}{61250}=0.02955[/tex]

                      [tex]M=0.02955\times 61250[/tex]

                           [tex]=1809.6 \ kg[/tex] (Total mass of car as well as its passengers)

Now,

The mass of the empty car will be:

⇒  [tex]m'=M-m[/tex]

          [tex]=1809.6-250[/tex]

          [tex]=1559.6 \ kg[/tex]

hence,

The time period of empty car will be:

⇒  [tex]T'=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m'}{k} }[/tex]

         [tex]=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{1559.6}{61250} }[/tex]

         [tex]=2\pi \sqrt{0.0254}[/tex]

         [tex]=1.003 \ s[/tex]
