Ultraviolet light of wavelength 350 nm is incident on a diffraction grating with slit spacing d and forms an interference pattern on a screen a distance L away. The angular positions θbright of the interference maxima are large. The locations of the bright fringes are marked on the screen. Now red light of wavelength 700 nm is used with a diffraction grating to form another diffraction pattern on the screen. Will the bright fringes of this pattern be located at the marks on the screen if (a) the screen is moved to a distance 2L from the grating, (b) the screen is moved to a distance L/2 from the grating, (c) the grating is replaced with one of slit spacing 2d, (d) the grating is replaced with one of slit spacing d/2, or (e) nothing is changed?

- would 0.215 be the answer for part b?arrow_forwardSuppose a toy boat moves in a pool at at a speed given by v=1.0 meter per second at t=0, and that the boat is subject to viscous damping. The damping on the boat causes the rate of speed loss to be given by the expression dv/dt=-2v. How fast will the boat be traveling after 1 second? 3 seconds? 10 seconds? Use separation of variables to solve this.arrow_forwardWhat functional form do you expect to describe the motion of a vibrating membrane without damping and why?arrow_forward
