- PLEASE SOLVE BOTHarrow_forwardIn a double-slit experiment using monochromatic light, a screen is placed 1.25 m away from the slits, which the slits have a separation of 25 mm. The position of the third-order maximum (bright) is 6.60 cm from the center of central maximum (bright). What is the wavelength of the light? a. 3.3×10-4 m b. 4.4×10-4 m c. 2.2×10-4 m d. 1.1×10-4 marrow_forwardYou want telescope that discern objects that are at least 4.40 x 10-7 radians apart. A.) To achieve this resolution, determine what wavelength should be used if the diameter of the primary mirror is 1.2 m. B.) A binary star system (two stars in orbit about each other) is 47 ly away. The two stars would just barely be able to be discerned by your telescope. Determine the minimum distance between the stars. 1 ly = 9.461 x 1015 m.arrow_forward
- A laser emits light of wavelength 400 nm through a circular opening 2.3 mm wide. What is the width of the beam (in mm) at a distance 7 meters away? Oa.4.6 Ob. 1.5 O c. 1.1 O d. 3.0arrow_forwardA hunter at distance of 0.16 km aims to shoot two squirrels sitting 10 cm apart on the same branch of a tree. He claims he can do this without the help of a telescope sight on his rifle. The wavelength of light in a vacuum is 498 nm. Determine the diameter of the pupils of his eyes that would be required to resolve the squirrels as separate objects. O A.2.22 x 10-4 m B.5.32 x 10-4 m OC.6.81 x 10-4 m O D.9.54 x 10-4 marrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between the width (W) of the central diffraction maximum formed through a circular aperture and the size (S) of the aperture? a. W increases as S increases. b. W decreases as S increases. c. W can increase or decrease as S decreases. d. W can neither increase nor decrease as S decreases.arrow_forward
- Pls write clearlyarrow_forwardIn a thin slit Fraunhofer diffraction, if the width of the slit (b) is reduced, what will happen? A. Diffraction angle (0) is reduced. B. Diffraction angle (0) is increased. C. Diffraction angle (0) remains unchanged, D. The maximum irradiance or light intensity (I,) remains unchanged.arrow_forwardQuestion Three Two aluminium samples, A and B, are to be examined using Bragg reflection. For sample A the first-order Bragg reflection from (111) planes occurs at an angle of 25°00', while for sample B the first order Bragg reflection from (111) planes was at 25°20'. Aluminium atoms are 1.8 x 10-10 m diameter and form an FCC structure. X-radiation of wavelength 1.52 x 10-10 m is used for the analysis of two samples of aluminium. Answer the following questions: (i) Calculate the lattice parameter of an aluminium atom. (ii) Calculate the interplanar distances for the two samples. (ii) Which sample shows pure aluminium, and what is the reason for the difference? (iv) Mention four uses of pure aluminium.arrow_forward

The diffraction pattern on the screen shows a first order bright spot at a diffraction angle of 11.6. a) what is the wavelength of the laser in nvm b)what line spacing is required to make the second order bright spot of the same wavelength laser paper at 5arrow_forwardQUESTION 5 Monochromatic light from a laser is incident on a slit 0.4 0.550 mm wide. On a screen 2.72 1 50 m away from the slit, the distance between the first minima on either side of the central maximum is 4.98 2.35 mm. Determine the wavelength of light emitted by the laser. Answer in units nm.arrow_forwardIn LASIK surgery, a coherent UV light of 193 nm is focused on the corneal tissue. a. Explain the importance of using light that is all the same wavelength. b. Explain why UV light is more effective than infrared light at evaporating the corneal tissuearrow_forward
