Phase difference between the huygens wavelets

Reference no: EM13652261

A 0.10-mm-wide slit is illuminated by light of wavelength 589 nm. Consider a point P on a viewing screen on which the diffraction pattern of the slit is viewed; the point is at 30° from the central axis of the slit. What is the phase difference between the Huygens wavelets arriving at point P from the top and midpoint of the slit?

What is recoil speed of the gold nucleus problem : A proton is shot at 4 × 107 m/s toward a gold atom, with a mass 197 times that of the proton and deflects it straight back with 90% of its initial speed. What is the recoil speed of the gold nucleus?

Which will remain unchanged in a collision : Compare the motion of two objects before a collision with their motion after the collision. You should be able to find a quantity, which will remain unchanged in a collision. Be sure to justify your reasoning.

Calculate final velocity just before bullet-block system : A small 2 g bullet moving at V0= 2000 m/s, inbeds itself in a 1kg block at the top of an inclined plane with an angle of θ= 450. The combined system then becomes a projectile, landing on the ground 10 m below the top of the incline. Calculate the f..

Diffraction envelope of double-slit diffraction pattern : Suppose that the central diffraction envelope of a double-slit diffraction pattern contains 11 bright fringes and the first diffraction minima eliminate (are coincident with) bright fringes. How many bright fringes lie between the first and second..

Phase difference between the huygens wavelets : A 0.10-mm-wide slit is illuminated by light of wavelength 589 nm. Consider a point P on a viewing screen on which the diffraction pattern of the slit is viewed; the point is at 30° from the central axis of the slit.

Horizontal surface on which coefficient of kinetic friction : A sled slides along a horizontal surface on which the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.28. Its velocity at point A is 8.0 m/s and at point B is 4.8 m/s. Use the impulse-momentum theorem to find how long the sled takes to travel from A to B.

What force is keeping the car in the circle : A car is moving on a flat horizontal circular track of radius 120 m. The speed of the car is constant, 15m/s. The mass of the car is 1200 kg. Ignore air resistance. What force is keeping the car in the circle?

What is the speed of the five-car train : Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at 1.6 m/s . A fourth car traveling east at 4.4 m/s catches up with the three and couples to make a four-car train. A moment later, the train cars hit a fifth car that was at rest on the ..

Right half has no friction because it is coated with oil : A uniform marble rolls down a symmetric bowl, starting from rest at the top of the left side. The top of each side is a distance above the bottom of the bowl. The left half of the bowl is rough enough to cause the marble to roll without slipping, ..
