Answer:
Well, yes.
We can have an isolated light wave that is defined by only one frequency (and one wavelenght). But this is not a really common situation, most of the light that we can see in nature, is actually a composition of different waves with different frequencies.
Even if we have, for example, a red laser, the actual frequency of the light that comes from the laser may be in a range of frequencies, so the actual wave is a composition of different waves with really close frequencies.
An example of a light wave defined by only one frequency can be, for example, the photon that comes out of a change in energy of an electron.
Here we have a single photon, with a single frequency, that is modeled as a single frequency wave.

UVC light used in sterilizers, has wavelengths between 100 to 280 nm. If a certain UVC wave has a wavelength of 142.9 nm, what is the energy of one of its photons in J
Answer:
The energy of one of its photons is 1.391 x 10⁻¹⁸ J
Explanation:
Given;
wavelength of the UVC light, λ = 142.9 nm = 142.9 x 10⁻⁹ m
The energy of one photon of the UVC light is given by;
E = hf
where;
h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s
f is frequency of the light
f = c / λ
where;
c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
λ is wavelength
substitute in the value of f into the main equation;
E = hf
[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \\\\E = \frac{6.626*10^{-34} *3*10^{8}}{142.9*10^{-9}} \\\\E = 1.391*10^{-18} \ J[/tex]
Therefore, the energy of one of its photons is 1.391 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

A circular coil of wire 8.40 cm in diameter has 17.0 turns and carries a current of 3.20 A . The coil is in a region where the magnetic field is 0.610 T.Required:a. What orientation of the coil gives the maximum torque on the coil ?b. What is this maximum torque in part (A) ?c. For what orientation of the coil is the magnitude of the torque 71.0 % of the maximum found in part (B)?
Answer:
a) for the torque to be maximum, sin should be maximum
i.e (sinФ)maximum = 1
b) therefore the Maximum torque is
Tmax = 0.1838 × 1 = 0.1838 N.m
c) Given the torque is 71.0% of its maximum value; Ф = 45.24⁰ ≈ 45⁰
Explanation:
Given that; Diameter is 8.40 cm,
Radius (R) = D/2 = 8.40/2 = 4.20 cm = 0.042 m
Number of turns (N) = 17
Current in the loop (I) = 3.20 A
Magnetic field (B) = 0.610 T
Let the angle between the loop's area vector A and the magnetic field B be
Now. the area of the loop is;
A = πR²
A = 3.14 ( 0.042 )²
A = 0.005539 m²
Torque on the loop (t) = NIABsinФ
t = 17 × 3.20 ×0.005539 × 0.610 × sinФ
t = 0.1838sinФ N.m
for the torque to be maximum, sin should be maximum
i.e (sinФ)maximum = 1
therefore the Maximum torque is
Tmax = 0.1838 × 1 = 0.1838 N.m
Given the torque is 71.0% of its maximum value
t = 0.71 × tmax
t = 0.71 × 0.1838
t = 0.1305
Now
0.1305 N.m = 0.1838 sinФ N.m
sinФ = 0.1305 / 0.1838
sinФ = 0.71001
Ф = sin⁻¹ 0.71001
Ф = 45.24⁰ ≈ 45⁰
g One of the harmonics in an open-closed tube has frequency of 500 Hz. The next harmonic has a frequency of 700 Hz. Assume that the speed of sound in this problem is 340 m/s. a. What is the length of the tube
Answer:
The length of the tube is 85 cm
Explanation:
Given;
speed of sound, v = 340 m/s
first harmonic of open-closed tube is given by;
N----->A , L= λ/₄
λ₁ = 4L
v = Fλ
F = v / λ
F₁ = v/4L
Second harmonic of open-closed tube is given by;
L = N-----N + N-----A, L = (³/₄)λ
[tex]\lambda = \frac{4L}{3}\\\\ F= \frac{v}{\lambda}\\\\F_2 = \frac{3v}{4L}[/tex]
Third harmonic of open-closed tube is given by;
L = N------N + N-----N + N-----A, L = (⁵/₄)λ
[tex]\lambda = \frac{4L}{5}\\\\ F= \frac{v}{\lambda}\\\\F_3 = \frac{5v}{4L}[/tex]
The difference between second harmonic and first harmonic;
[tex]F_2 -F_1 = \frac{3v}{4L} - \frac{v}{4L}\\\\F_2 -F_1 = \frac{2v}{4L} \\\\F_2 -F_1 =\frac{v}{2L}[/tex]
The difference between third harmonic and second harmonic;
[tex]F_3 -F_2 = \frac{5v}{4L} - \frac{3v}{4L}\\\\F_3 -F_2 = \frac{2v}{4L} \\\\F_3 -F_2 =\frac{v}{2L}[/tex]
Thus, the difference between successive harmonic of open-closed tube is
v / 2L.
[tex]700H_z- 500H_z= \frac{v}{2L} \\\\200 = \frac{v}{2L}\\\\L = \frac{v}{2*200} \\\\L = \frac{340}{2*200}\\\\L = 0.85 \ m\\\\L = 85 \ cm[/tex]
Therefore, the length of the tube is 85 cm
What will be the nature of the image formed from both a convex lens and a concave
lens of 20 centimeter focus distance, when the object is placed at a distance of
10 centimeters?
Answer:
Explanation:
Using the lens formula
1//f = 1/u+1/v
f is the focal length of the lens
u is the object distance
v is the image distance
For convex lens
The focal length of a convex lens is positive and the image distance can either be negative or positive.
Given f = 20cm and u = 10cm
1/v = 1/f - 1/u
1/v = 1/20-1/10
1/v = (1-2)/20
1/V = -1/20
v = -20/1
v = -20 cm
Since the image distance is negative, this shows that the nature of the image formed by the convex lens is a virtual image
For concave lens
The focal length of a concave lens is negative and the image distance is negative.
Given f = -20cm and u = 10cm
1/v = 1/f - 1/u
1/v = -1/20-1/10
1/v = (-1-2)/20
1/V = -3/20
v = -20/3
v = -6.67 cm
Since the image distance is negative, this shows that the nature of the image formed by the concave lens is a virtual image
Suppose you exert a force of 185 N tangential to the outer edge of a 1.73-m radius 76-kg grindstone (which is a solid disk).
Required:
a. What torque is exerted?
b. What is the angular acceleration assuming negligible opposing friction?
c. What is the angular acceleration if there is an opposing frictional force of 20.0 N exerted 1.50 cm from the axis?
Answer:
a. 320.06 Nm b. 2.814 rad/s² c. 2.811 rad/s².
Explanation:
a. The torque exerted τ = Frsinθ where F = tangential force exerted = 185 N, r = radius of grindstone = 1.73 m and θ = 90° since the force is tangential to the grindstone.
τ = Frsinθ
= 185 N × 1.73 m × sin90°
= 320.05 Nm
So, the torque τ = 320.05 Nm
b. Since torque τ = Iα where I = moment of inertia of grindstone = 1/2MR² where M = mass of grindstone = 76 kg and R = radius of grindstone = 1.73 m
α = angular acceleration of grindstone
τ = Iα
α = τ/I = τ/(MR²/2) = 2τ/MR²
substituting the values of the variables, we have
α = 2τ/MR²
= 2 × 320.05 Nm/[76 kg × (1.73 m)²]
= 640.1 Nm/227.4604 kgm²
= 2.814 rad/s²
So, the angular acceleration α = 2.814 rad/s²
c. The opposing frictional force produces a torque τ' = F'r' where F' = frictional force = 20.0 N and r' = distance of frictional force from axis = 1.50 cm = 0.015 m.
So τ' = F'r' = 20.0 N × 0.015 m = 0.3 Nm
The net torque on the grindstone is thus τ'' = τ - τ' = 320.05 Nm - 0.3 Nm = 319.75 Nm
Since τ'' = Iα
α' = τ''/I where α' = its new angular acceleration
α' = 2τ/MR²
= 2 × 319.75 Nm/[76 kg × (1.73 m)²]
= 639.5 Nm/227.4604 kgm²
= 2.811 rad/s²
So, the angular acceleration α' = 2.811 rad/s²
A 70 kg man floats in freshwater with 3.2% of his volume above water when his lungs are empty, and 4.85% of his volume above water when his lungs are full.
Required:
a. Calculate the volume of air he inhales - called his lung capacity - in liters.
b. Does this lung volume seem reasonable?
Answer:
Explanation:
A) Vair = 1.3 L
B) Volume is not reasonable
Explanation:
A)
Assume
m to be total mass of the man
mp be the mass of the man that pulled out of the water
m1 be the mass above the water with the empty lung
m2 be the mass above the water with full lung
wp be the weight that the buoyant force opposes as a result of the air.
Va be the volume of air inside man's lungs
Fb be the buoyant force due to the air in the lung
given;
m = 78.5 kg
m1 = 3.2% × 78.5 = 2.5 kg
m2 = 4.85% × 78.5 = 3.8kg
But, mp = m2- m1
mp = 3.8 - 2.5
mp = 1.3kg
So using
Archimedes principle, the relation for formula for buoyant force as;
Fb = (m_displaced water)g = (ρ_water × V_air × g)
Where ρ_water is density of water = 1000 kg/m³
Thus;
Fb = wp = 1.3× 9.81
Fb = 12.7N
But
Fb = (ρ_water × V_air × g)
So
Vair = Fb/(ρ_water × × g)
Vair = 12.7/(1000 × 9.81)
V_air = 1.3 × 10^(-3) m³
convert to litres
1 m³ = 1000 L
Thus;
V_air = 1.3× 10^(-3) × 1000
V_air = 1.3 L
But since the average lung capacity of an adult human being is about 6-7litres of air.
Thus, the calculated lung volume is not reasonable
Explanation:
g Two point sources emit sound waves of 1.0-m wavelength. The source 1 is at x = 0 and source 2 is at x = 2.0 m along x-axis. The sources, 2.0 m apart, emit waves which are in phase with each other at the instant of emission. Where, along the line between the sources, are the waves out of phase with each other by π radians?
Answer:
constructive interferencia 0, 1 , 2 m
destructive inteferencia 1/4, 3/4. 5/4, 7/4 m
Explanation:
This exercise is equivalent to the double slit experiment, the two sources are in phase and separated by a distance, therefore the waves observed in the line between them have an optical path difference and a phase difference, given by the expression
Δr / λ = Φ / 2π
Δr = Φ/2π λ
let's apply this expression to our case
λ = 1 m
Δr = Φ 1 / 2π
We have constructive interference for angle of Φ = 0, 2π, ...
let's find the values where they occur
Φ Δr
0 0
2π 1
4π 2
Destructive interference occurs by Φ = π /2, 3π / 2, ...
Φ Δr
π/2 ¼ m
3π /2 ¾ m
5π /2 5/4 m
7π /2 7/4 m
A race-car drives around a circular track of radius RRR. The race-car speeds around its first lap at linear speed v_iv i v, start subscript, i, end subscript. Later, its speed increases to 4v_i4v i 4, v, start subscript, i, end subscript. How does the magnitude of the car's centripetal acceleration change after the linear speed increases
Answer:
The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration increases by 16 times when the linear speed increases by 4 times.
Explanation:
The initial centripetal acceleration, a of the race-car around the circular track of radius , R with a linear speed v is a = v²/R.
When the linear speed of the race-car increases to v' = 4v, the centripetal acceleration a' becomes a' = v'²/R = (4v)²/R = 16v²/R.
So the centripetal acceleration, a' = 16v²/R.
To know how much the magnitude of the car's centripetal acceleration changes, we take the ratio a'/a = 16v²/R ÷ v²/R = 16
a'/a = 16
a' = 16a.
So the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration increases by 16 times when the linear speed increases by 4 times.
A vertical spring stretches 3.8 cm when a 13-g object is hung from it. The object is replaced with a block of mass 20 g that oscillates in simple harmonic motion. Calculate the period of motion.
Answer:
The period of motion is 0.5 second.
Explanation:
Given;
extension of the spring, x = 3.8 cm = 0.038 m
mass of the object, m = 13 g = 0.013 kg
Determine the force constant of the spring, k;
F = kx
k = F / x
k = mg / x
k = (0.013 x 9.8) / 0.038
k = 3.353 N/m
When the object is replaced with a block of mass 20 g, the period of motion is calculated as;
[tex]T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\\\T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.02}{3.353} } \\\\T = 0.5 \ second[/tex]
Therefore, the period of motion is 0.5 second.

If one could transport a simple pendulum of constant length from the Earth's surface to the Moon's, where acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth (1/6) that on the Earth, by what factor would be the pendulum frequency be changed
Answer:
The frequency will change by a factor of 0.4
Explanation:
T = 2(pi)*sqrt(L/g)
Since g(moon) = (1/6)g(earth), the period would change by sqrt[1/(1/6)] = sqrt(6) ~ 2.5 times longer on the moon. Since the period & frequency are inverses, the frequency would be 1/2.5 or 0.4 times shorter on the moon.
How much energy is required to accelerate a spaceship with a rest mass of 121 metric tons to a speed of 0.509 c?
Answer
1.07E22 Joules
Explanation;
We know that mass expands by a factor
=>>1/√[1-(v/c)²]
But v= 0.509c
So
1/√(1 - 0.509²)
=>>> 1/√(1 - 0.2591)
= >> 1/√(0.7409) = 1.16
But given that 121 tons is rest mass so 121- 1.16= 119.84 tons is kinetic energy
And we know that rest mass-energy equivalence is 9 x 10^19 joules per ton.
So Multiplying by 119.84
Kinetic energy will be 1.07x 10^22 joules
What happens to the deflection of the galvanometer needle (due to moving the magnet) when you increase the number of loops
Answer:
If the magnet is moved, the galvanometer needle will deflect, showing that current is flowing through the coil which will increase total induced electromotive force
Explanation:
galvanometer is an instrument that can detect and measure small current in an electrical circuit.
If the magnet is moved, the galvanometer needle will deflect, showing that current is flowing through the coil. If it is move in a way into the coil,the needle deflect in that way and if it move in another way, it will deflect in the other way.
The total induced emf is equal to the emf induced in each loop by the changing magnetic flux, then multiplied by the number of loops and an increase in the number of loops will cause increase in the total induced emf.

ρ = (0.0293 × 0.001²π)/5.8
ρ = 1.589 × 10^(-8)
C) Formula for current density is given by;J = n•e•v_d
Where;

e is charge on an electron = 1.6 × 10^(-19) C
v_d = 1.7 × 10^(-5) m/s
n is number of free electrons per unit volume
Thus;
238732.44 = n(1.6 × 10^(-19) × 1.7 × 10^(-5))
238732.44 = (2.72 × 10^(-24))n

Part A. Calculate the coil's self-inductance.
Part B. If the current decreases uniformly from 5.00 A to 2.00 A in 3.00 ms, calculate the self-induced emf in the coil.
Part C. The current is directed from terminal a of the coil to terminal b. Is the direction of the induced emf from a to b or from b to a?
Answer:
Part A
[tex]L = 0.000863 \ H[/tex]
Part B
[tex]\epsilon = 0.863 \ V[/tex]
Part C
From terminal a to terminal b
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The number of turns is [tex]N = 590 \ turns[/tex]
The cross-sectional area is [tex]A = 6.20 cm^2 = 6.20 *10^{-4} \ m[/tex]
The radius is [tex]r = 5.0 \ cm = 0.05 \ m[/tex]
Generally the coils self -inductance is mathematically represented as
[tex]L = \frac{ \mu_o N^2 A }{2 \pi * r }[/tex]
Where [tex]\mu_o[/tex] is the permeability of free space with value [tex]\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]L = \frac{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 590^2 6.20 *10^{-4} }{2 \pi * 0.05 }[/tex]
[tex]L = \frac{ 2 * 10^{-7} * 590^2 6.20 *10^{-4} }{ 0.05 }[/tex]
[tex]L = 0.000863 \ H[/tex]
Considering the Part B
Initial current is [tex]I_1 = 5.00 \ A[/tex]
Current at time t is [tex]I_t = 3.0 \ A[/tex]
The time taken is [tex]\Delta t = 3.00 ms = 0.003 \ s[/tex]
The self-induced emf is mathematically evaluated as
[tex]\epsilon = L * \frac{\Delta I}{ \Delta t }[/tex]
=> [tex]\epsilon = L * \frac{ I_1 - I_t }{ \Delta t }[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]\epsilon = 0.000863 * \frac{ 5- 2 }{ 0.003 }[/tex]
[tex]\epsilon = 0.863 \ V[/tex]
The direction of the induced emf is from a to b because according to Lenz's law the induced emf moves in the same direction as the current
This question involves the concepts of the self-inductance, induced emf, and Lenz's Law
A. The coil's self-inductance is "0.863 mH".
B. The self-induced emf in the coil is "0.58 volts".
C. The direction of the induced emf is "from b to a".
A.
The self-inductance of the coil is given by the following formula:
[tex]L=\frac{\mu_oN^2A}{2\pi r}[/tex]
where,
L = self-inductance = ?
[tex]\mu_o[/tex] = permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²
N = No. of turns = 590
A = Cross-sectional area = 6.2 cm² = 6.2 x 10⁻⁴ m²
r = radius = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Therefore,
[tex]L=\frac{(4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2)(590)^2(6.2\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m^2)}{2\pi(0.05\ m)}[/tex]
L = 0.863 x 10⁻³ H = 0.863 mH
B.
The self-induced emf is given by the following formula:
[tex]E=L\frac{\Delta I}{\Delta t}\\\\[/tex]
where,
E = self-induced emf = ?
ΔI = change in current = 2 A
Δt = change in time = 3 ms = 0.003 s
Therefore,
[tex]E=(0.000863\ H)\frac{2\ A}{0.003\ s}[/tex]
E = 0.58 volts
C.
According to Lenz's Law, the direction of the induced emf always opposes the change in flux that causes it. Hence, the direction of the induced emf will be from b to a.

Two waves are traveling in the same direction along a stretched string. The waves are 45.0° out of phase. Each wave has an amplitude of 7.00 cm. Find the amplitude of the resultant wave.
Answer:
The amplitude of the resultant wave is 12.93 cm.
Explanation:
The amplitude of resultant of two waves, y₁ and y₂, is given as;
Y = y₁ + y₂
Let y₁ = A sin(kx - ωt)
Since the wave is out phase by φ, y₂ is given as;
y₂ = A sin(kx - ωt + φ)
Y = y₁ + y₂ = 2A Cos (φ / 2)sin(kx - ωt + φ/2 )
Given;
phase difference, φ = 45°
Amplitude, A = 7.00 cm
Y = 2(7) Cos (45 /2) sin(kx - ωt + 22.5° )
Y = 12.93 cm
Therefore, the amplitude of the resultant wave is 12.93 cm.
What is the thinnest soap film (excluding the case of zero thickness) that appears black when illuminated with light with a wavelength of 580 nm
Answer:
Explanation:
In case of soap film , light gets reflected from denser medium , hence interference takes place between two waves , one reflected from upper and second from lower surface . For destructive interference the condition is
2μt = nλ where μ is refractive index of water , t is thickness , λ is wavelength of light and n is an integer .
2 x 1.34 x t = 1 x 580
t = 216.42 nm .
Thickness must be 216.42 nm .
A string of holiday lights has 15 bulbs with equal resistances. If one of the bulbs
is removed, the other bulbs still glow. But when the entire string of bulbs is
connected to a 120-V outlet, the current through the bulbs is 5.0 A. What is the
resistance of each bulb?
Answer:
Resistance of each bulb = 360 ohms
Explanation:
Let each bulb have a resistance r .
Since, even after removing one of the bulbs, the circuit is closed and the other bulbs glow. Therfore, the bulbs are connected in Parallel connection.
[tex] \frac{1}{r(equivalent)} = \frac{1}{r1} + \frac{1}{r2} + + + + \frac{1}{r15} [/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{r(equivalent)} = \frac{15}{r} [/tex]
R(equivalent) = r/15
Now, As per Ohms Law :
V = I * R(equivalent)
120 V = 5 A * r/15
r = 360 ohms
If two identical wires carrying a certain current in the same direction are placed parallel to each other, they will experience a force of repulsion.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
The answer is B. falseExplanation:
Current in the same direction
When current flow through to parallel conductors of a given length, when the current flows in the same direction
1. A force of attraction between the wires occurs and this tends to draw the wires inward
2. A magnetic field in the same direction is produced.
Current in opposite direction
when the current is in opposite direction
1. Force of repulsion between the two wires occurs, draws the wire outward
2. A magnetic field in opposite direction occurs
A person can see clearly up close but cannot focus on objects beyond 75.0 cm. She opts for contact lenses to correct her vision.
(a) Is she nearsighted or farsighted?
(b) What type of lens (converging or diverging) is needed to correct her vision?
(c) What focal length contact lens is needed, and what is its power in diopters?
Answer:
(a) nearsighted
(b) diverging
(c) the lens strength in diopters is 1.33 D, and considering the convention for divergent lenses normally prescribed as: -1 33 D
Explanation:
(a) The person is nearsighted because he/she cannot see objects at distances larger than 75 cm.
(b) the type of correcting lens has to be such that it counteracts the excessive converging power of the eye of the person, so the lens has to be diverging (which by the way carries by convention a negative focal length)
(c) the absolute value of the focal length (f) is given by the formula:
[tex]f=\frac{1}{d} =\frac{1}{0.75} = 1.33\,D[/tex]
So it would normally be written with a negative signs in front indicating a divergent lens.

You plan to take your hair blower to Europe, where the electrical outlets put out 240 V instead of the 120 V seen in the United States. The blower puts out 1700 W at 120 V.Required:a. What could you do to operate your blower via the 240V line in Europe? which one is it?b. What current will your blower draw from a European outlet?c. What resistance will your blower appear to have when operated at 240 ?
Answer:
a) Connect a series resistance of 8,47 ohms
b)14,16 [A]
c) r = 10,96 ohms
Explanation:
My blower requires 120 (v) then, I have to connect a series resistor to make the nominal 240 (v) of the European voltage outlet drop to 120 (V) but at the same time keep the level of current to operate my blower
In America
P = V*I
1700 (w) = 120*I
I = 1700/120 [A]
I = 14,16 [A] current needed for the blower
In Europe
120 (v) (the drop of voltage I need) when a current of 14,16 passes through to series resistor is
V = I*R 120 = 14,16* R R = 8,47 ohms
c) P = I*r²
1700 (w) = 14,16 (A) * r²
r² = 120,06
r = 10,96 ohms
A viewing screen is separated from a double slit by 5.20 m. The distance between the two slits is 0.0300 mm. Monochromatic light is directed toward the double slit and forms an interference pattern on the screen. The first dark fringe is 3.70 cm from the center line on the screen.
Required:
a. Determine the wavelength of light.
b. Calculate the distance between the adjacent bright fringes.
Answer:
The wavelength of this light is approximately [tex]427\; \rm nm[/tex] ([tex]4.27\times 10^{-7}\; \rm m[/tex].)The distance between the first and central maxima is approximately [tex]7.40\; \rm cm[/tex] (about twice the distance between the first dark fringe and the central maximum.)Explanation:
WavelengthConvert all lengths to meters:
Separation of the two slits: [tex]0.0300\; \rm mm = 3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m[/tex].Distance between the first dark fringe and the center of the screen: [tex]3.70\; \rm cm = 3.70\times 10^{-2}\; \rm m[/tex].Refer to the diagram attached (not to scale.) Assuming that the screen is parallel to the line joining the two slits. The following two angles are alternate interior angles and should be equal to each other:
The angle between the filter and the beam of light from the lower slit, andThe angle between the screen and that same beam of light.These two angles are marked with two grey sectors on the attached diagram. Let the value of these two angles be [tex]\theta[/tex].
The path difference between the two beams is approximately equal to the length of the segment highlighted in green. In order to produce the first dark fringe from the center of the screen (the first minimum,) the length of that segment should be [tex]\lambda / 2[/tex] (one-half the wavelength of the light.)
Therefore:
[tex]\displaystyle \cos \theta \approx \frac{\text{Path difference}}{\text{Slit separation}} = \frac{\lambda / 2}{3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m}[/tex].
On the other hand:
[tex]\begin{aligned} \cot \theta &\approx \frac{\text{Distance between central peak and first minimum}}{\text{Distance between the screen and the slits}} \\ &= \frac{3.70\times 10^{-2}\; \rm m}{5.20\; \rm m} \approx 0.00711538\end{aligned}[/tex].
Because the cotangent of [tex]\theta[/tex] is very close to zero,
[tex]\cos \theta \approx \cot \theta \approx 0.00711538[/tex].
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{\lambda /2}{3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m} \approx \cos\theta\approx 0.00711538[/tex].
[tex]\begin{aligned}\lambda &\approx 2\times 0.00711538 \times \left(3.00\times 10^{-5}\; \rm m\right) \\ &\approx 4.26 \times 10^{-7}\; \rm m = 426\; \rm nm\end{aligned}[/tex].
Distance between two adjacent maximaIf the path difference is increased by one wavelength, then the intersection of the two beams would move from one bright fringe to the next one.
The path difference required for the central maximum is [tex]0[/tex].The path difference required for the first maximum is [tex]\lambda[/tex].The path difference required for the second maximum is [tex]2\,\lambda[/tex].On the other hand, if the distance between the maximum and the center of the screen is much smaller than the distance between the screen and the filter, then:
[tex]\begin{aligned}&\frac{\text{Distance between image and center of screen}}{\text{Distance between the screen and the slits}} \\ &\approx \cot \theta \\ &\approx \cos \theta \\ &\approx \frac{\text{Path difference}}{\text{Slit separation}}\end{aligned}[/tex].
Under that assumption, the distance between the maximum and the center of the screen is approximately proportional to the path difference. The distance between the image (the first minimum) and the center of the screen is [tex]3.70\; \rm cm[/tex] when the path difference is [tex]\lambda / 2[/tex]. The path difference required for the first maximum is twice as much as that. Therefore, the distance between the first maximum and the center of the screen would be twice the difference between the first minimum and the center of the screen: [tex]2 \times 3.70\; \rm cm = 7.40\; \rm cm[/tex].
