Violet light (λ = 400 nm) passing through a diffraction grating for which the slit spacing is 6.0 μm forms a pattern on a screen
Maru [3345]

Answer:

The third-order dark fringe

Explanation:

y = Distance from central bright fringe = 204 mm

λ = Wavelength = 400 nm

L = Distance from screen to source = 1 m

d = Slit spacing = 6 μm

tan\theta =\frac{y}{L}\\\Rightarrow tan\theta =\frac{204}{1000}=0.2012^{\circ}

dsin\theta=m\lambda\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{dsin\theta}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{6\times 10^{-6}sin0.2012}{400\times 10^{-9}}=2.9982\approx 3

The order of the fringe is 3

Thus, it’s identified as a dark fringe.

a professional baseball player can pitch a baseball with a velocity of 44.7m/s towards home plate. If a baseball weighs 1.4 N, h
Sav [3153]
To find the mass using a weight of 1.4 N:
1.4/9.8 = 0.1428 kg
The momentum is calculated as 0.1428 multiplied by 44.7, which is 6.38 kgm/s.

Part a consider another special case in which the inclined plane is vertical (θ=π/2). in this case, for what value of m1 would t
serg [3582]

The solution leads to the conclusion that m1 = m2

For mass m1, the force balance in the y direction equals zero:
0 = T - m1*g
Rearranging gives:
m1*g = T

For mass m2, the force balance in the y direction equals zero:
0 = T - m2*g
Rearranging provides:
m2*g = T

Setting these two equal allows us to solve for m1:
m1*g = m2*g

= m1 = m2

 

Explanation:

The force acting on each individual mass pulls down while the tension created by the other mass exerts an upward force due to the operation of the pulley system, resulting in balanced forces on both masses.

A neutral K meson at rest decays into two π mesons, which travel in opposite directions along the x axis with speeds of 0.828c.
Sav [3153]

Answer:

The velocities of both \pi-mesons are 0.574 in the positive direction and -0.9367c in the negative direction along the X-axis

Solution:

Referring to the question:

The speed of the \pi-meson is v' = 0.828c

And the K-meson's speed in the positive x direction is v'' = 0.486c

Now, to determine the speeds of the two \pi-mesons:

Velocity of the first \pi-meson, v_{px}:

v_{px} = \frac{v' - v''}{1 - \frac{v'v''}{c^{2}}}

v_{px} = \frac{0.828c - 0.486c}{1 - \frac{0.828c\times 0.486c}{c^{2}}}

v_{px} = \frac{0.828c - 0.486c}{1 - \frac{0.828c\times 0.486c}{c^{2}}}

v_{px} = 0.574c

Velocity of the second \pi-meson, v_{px}:

v_{px} = \frac{v' - v''}{1 - \frac{v'v''}{c^{2}}}

v_{px} = \frac{- 0.828c - 0.486c}{1 + \frac{0.828c\times 0.486c}{c^{2}}}

v'_{px} = \frac{- 0.828c - 0.486c}{1 + \frac{0.828c\times 0.486c}{c^{2}}}

v'_{px} = - 0.937c
