For a demonstration, a professor uses a razor blade to cut a thin slit in a piece of aluminum foil. When she shines a laser pointer (λ=680nm) through the slit onto a screen 5.5 m away, a diffraction pattern appears. The bright band in the center of the pattern is 8.0 cm wide. What is the width of the slit?

The wide of silt is a=93.5×10⁻⁶m

Explanation:

Given data

Wavelength λ=680 nm

Length L=5.5 m

Width w=8.0 cm

To find

Width of slit a

Solution

A single slit of width a has a bright central maximum of width

ω=2λL/a

a=2λL/ω

Substitute the given values

The wide of silt is a=93.5×10⁻⁶m

what was the acceleration of the 2 kg cart?

⇒ 16.0 cm/s2

what was the acceleration of the 4 kg cart?

⇒ 8.1 cm/s2

what was the acceleration of the 6 kg cart?

⇒ 5.3 cm/s2

the higher the current the higher the mag field around it the higher the influence on the compass
