Four trials of Young's double-slit experiment are
(i)
Ranking of the trials from largest to the smallest angular distance.
Answer to Problem 37.2OQ
The Ranking of the trials from largest to the smallest angular distance is
Explanation of Solution
Given info: For case (a) and case (b) the slit separation is
Write the expression for constructive interference for the bright fringes.
Here,
The value of
Substitute
Case (a);
The wavelength of the blue light is
Substitute
Thus, the value of angular distance is
Case (b);
The wavelength of the red light is
Substitute
Thus, the value of angular distance is
Case (c);
The wavelength of the red light is
Substitute
Thus, the value of angular distance is
Case (d);
The wavelength of the red light is
Substitute
Thus, the value of angular distance is
The ranking of the angular distances of all the cases is,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the ranking of the trials from largest to the smallest angular distance is
(ii)
Ranking of the trials on the basis of their distance between the central maximum and the first order side maximum on the screen.

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion? What about for a flight from Mars to the earth? (b) How long does a one- way trip from the the earth to Mars take, between the firings of the rockets? (c) To reach Mars from the…arrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forwarda cubic foot of argon at 20 degrees celsius is isentropically compressed from 1 atm to 425 KPa.
