(a) Find the angle of the third diffraction minimum for 633-nm light falling on a slit of width $\text{20}\text{.}0\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\text{μm}$ . (b) What slit width would place this minimum at $\text{85}\text{.}0º$ ? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in Problem-Solving Strategies for Wave Optics

(a) Find the angle between the first minima for the two sodium vapor lines, which have wavelengths of 589.1 and 589.6 nm, when they fall upon a single slit of width $2\text{.}\text{00}\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}\text{μm}$ . (b) What is the distance between these minima if the diffraction pattern falls on a screen 1.00 m from the slit? (c) Discuss the ease or difficulty of measuring such a distance.

(a) $0\text{.}\text{0150º}$

(b) 0.262 mm

(c) This distance is not easily measured by human eye, but under a microscope or magnifying glass it is quite easily measurable.

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of $\lambda$ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength $\lambda$ ? (b) What is its minimum width if it produces 50 minima? (c) 1000 minima?

(a) If a single slit produces a first minimum at $\text{14}\text{.}5º$ , at what angle is the second-order minimum? (b) What is the angle of the third-order minimum? (c) Is there a fourth-order minimum? (d) Use your answers to illustrate how the angular width of the central maximum is about twice the angular width of the next maximum (which is the angle between the first and second minima).

(a) $\text{30}\text{.}1º$

(b) $\text{48}\text{.}7º$

(c) No

(d) ${2\theta }_{1}=\left(2\right)\left(\text{14.5º}\right)=\text{29º},\phantom{\rule{0.25em}{0ex}}{\theta }_{2}-{\theta }_{1}=\text{30}\text{.}\text{05º}-\text{14}\text{.}5º\text{=}\text{15}\text{.}\text{56º}$ . Thus, $\text{29º}\approx \left(2\right)\left(\text{15}\text{.}\text{56º}\right)=\text{31}\text{.}1º$ .

A double slit produces a diffraction pattern that is a combination of single and double slit interference. Find the ratio of the width of the slits to the separation between them, if the first minimum of the single slit pattern falls on the fifth maximum of the double slit pattern. (This will greatly reduce the intensity of the fifth maximum.)

An aircraft maintenance technician walks past a tall hangar door that acts like a single slit for sound entering the hangar. Outside the door, on a line perpendicular to the opening in the door, a jet engine makes a 600-Hz sound. At what angle with the door will the technician observe the first minimum in sound intensity if the vertical opening is 0.800 m wide and the speed of sound is 340 m/s?

how does half life exist
The amount of time it takes a radioactive isotope to decay into a stable isotope is different for each radioactive isotope, and is characterized by its “half-life”. An isotope's half-life is the amount of time it takes for half the number of atoms of that isotope to decay to another isotope.

what is the difference between Mass and weight
Pjustin
mass is constant while weight varies. unit of mass is kg, unit of weight is newton

how can a coin float in water and what principle governs it
in my opinion that work of surface tension but restrictions on coin is that coin do not break surface energy of molecules but some days before scientists prove that's another types of force
Aman
which force hold floating coins together thats my confusion
Aman

why many of the coin floating in water
