Concept explainers
A two-slit interference experiment uses coherent light of wavelength 5.00 × 10−7 m. Rank the following points in the interference pattern according to the intensity at each point, from highest to lowest. (i) A point that is closer to one slit than the other by 4.00 × 10−7 m; (ii) a point where the light waves received from the two slits are out of phase by 4.00 rad; (iii) a point that is closer to one slit than the other by 7.50 × 10−7 m; (iv) a point where the light waves received by the two slits are out of phase by 2.00 rad.

The proton is positively charged, the electron negatively, but both with the same magnitude of charge given by e=1.602x10-19C. The mass of an electron is 9.11x10-31kg, and the proton is 1.67x10-27kg. Find the ratio of the electrostatic to the gravitational force of attraction between the electron and the proton in hydrogen. \arrow_forward
