Concept explainers
(a)
To explain: The effect of increasing the slit width for diffraction.
(a)
Answer to Problem 17Q
The diffraction will be decreased.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: The pattern resulting from superimposing of two waves is known as interference. Interference can be destructive or constructive.
Destructive interference occurs after the crest of a wave overlaps the trough of another wave. The waves destructively interfere and also, cancel each other, once crest of one & trough of other interfere.
The diffraction is inversely propositional to the width of slit. When a student increases slit width in single-slit diffraction experiment then the spacing of fringes will be decrease.
(b)
To explain: The effect of increasing the slit wavelength for diffraction.

- T1. Calculate what is the received frequency when the car drives away from the radar antenna at a speed v of a) 1 m/s ( = 3.6 km/h), b) 10 m/s ( = 36 km/h), c) 30 m /s ( = 108 km/h) . The radar transmission frequency f is 24.125 GHz = 24.125*10^9 Hz, about 24 GHz.

A measurement taken from the UW Jacobson Observatory (Latitude: 47.660503°, Longitude: -122.309424°, Altitude: 220.00 feet) when its local sidereal time is 120.00° makes the following observations of a space object (Based on Curtis Problems 5.12 + 5.13): Azimuth: 225.00° Azimuth rate: 2.0000°/s. Elevation: 75.000° Elevation rate: -0.5000°/s Range: 1500.0 km Range rate: -1.0000 km/s a. What are the r & v vectors (the state vector) in geocentric coordinates? (Answer r = [-2503.47 v = [17.298 4885.2 5.920 5577.6] -2.663]) b. Calculate the orbital elements of the satellite. (For your thoughts: what type of object would this be?)
