Application Light Properties

AI Thread Summary

To determine which diffraction grating has 10,000 lines/cm, use a red laser to illuminate both gratings separately and project the resulting diffraction patterns onto a detection screen. Measure the angle of the first-order diffraction maximum for each grating. The grating with more lines will produce a narrower angle for the same wavelength due to its higher line density. By comparing the angles, the grating that results in a smaller angle corresponds to the 10,000 lines/cm grating. This method effectively identifies the gratings based on their diffraction properties.

you find two unlabelled diffraction gratings in your lab. from purchase records, you know that one grating has 500lines/cm, while the other has 10000lines/cm Given the following equipement, describe how you would determine which is the grating with 10 000lines/cm: red laser, detection screen, the two unknown dffraction gratings. no idea:(..need help

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Power of a thin lens in a medium is 1/fₘ or μₘ/fₘ ?'

Here is what I tried This question was actually asked in one of our engineering entrances. The answer was 1D. My teachers say that we have to use μₘ/fₘ to get to this answer. I cannot understand why. I'll be really glad if you could tell me the exact definition of power (numerically) that works in all scenarios.
