A Young’s double-slit apparatus is set up where a screen is positioned 0.80 m from the double slits. If the distance between alternating bright fringes is 0.95 cm, and the light source has a wavelength of 580 nm, what is the separation of the double slits?

In a vernier instrument the main scale is in 1/2 mm divisions .vernier is made by redividing 19 such divisions into 20 equal parts. calculate the least count of the instrument.

What type of nuclear decay causes the atomic number of an element to increase by 1?

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.
