Width Definition and 289 Threads

Hello! I know this is going to sound like a very basic question, but I'm working on a report about error analysis and I was wondering what width of distribution is.

According to my knowledge, the position of the dark fringes is given by asin(x)=m*lamda (sorry, I do not know how to type equations in here) tan(x)=d/L a=slit width x=angle of diffraction(?) m=no. of order d=distance from the central fringe L=distance between...

Homework Statement Hello everyone, I have one more problem left of my homework and I seemed to be stumped. I don't even know where to begin with this problem, which comes from the section of my book labeled Single-Slit Diffraction. Anyways, here is how the problem reads: Problem 22.18...

1. How many dark fringes will be produced on either side of the central maximum if light ( = 553 nm) is incident on a single slit that is 5.1 10-6 m wide? 2. sin theta = m (lamba/ W) lamba = wavelength W = slit width m - number of fringes 3. I have no idea how to do this...

Why does the eta prime meson have such a narrow decay width (ie long lifetime) compared to the rho and omega mesons? Is there some conservation rule that supresses its decays?

Since the question quite long and contains many formulas, so i take a photo instead. my question is that for part b since Z= \sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2} can i subst X_L = (W_0+\triangle{\omega})L and X_C = \frac{1}{(w_0+\triangle{\omega})L} into the Z= \sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}...

Hello! I'm working on a surface analysis of a silicon-microstrip-detector. That is basically a silicon wafer with p- and n- doped strips on it. They are periodically produced on the crystal. Therefore I can use it as a diffraction grating for visible light to do my surface analysis. My light...

I have no ideal where to begin on this question. Light of wavelength 0.6x10^-6 meters is emmited by an electron in an atom behaving as a lightly damped SHM with a Q factor of 5x10^7. Determine the width of the spectral emmision line. I am thinking E=hv=A^2 where A^2=Q^2 for large Q...

This may be a bit of a silly question and I'm not too sure if I've posted it in the right place, But I'm a bit confused and need something cleared up. In physics/maths classes I've always read/been told that friction is not a function of contact area and only that of force. Now I'm going to...

# A Fresnel biprism arrangement used to study interference in air is immersed completely in a liquid. Will the fringe width increase, decrease or remain unchanged?

A single slit of width 1.50 um is illuminated with light of wavelenth 500.0 nm. What is the angualar width of the central maximum?

A point source of light 2.0m away from the a pinhole camera creats a 12cm wide spot of light on the screen 1.0 deep inside the camera. How wide is the aperture of the camera. I thought this was a magnification problem, so I set up the equation: h_i = .12m, h_o = x, s_i = 1m, s_o = 2.0m...

When calulating near resonant cross sections one usually inserts a mass width in the denominator of the propagator. This should, at least as I have understood it, correspond to taking the higher order diagrams into account. What I would like to see is a proof for the equivalence between...

The following question appeared on one of my exam papers. A CCD of pixel density 10Mpixel (1cm^-2) is used to image a component of length 10cm. Show how this does or does not meet the required accuracies of +/- 0.025mm. A similar question was asked in a previous exam where the...

Waves with wavelength 2m pass through a hole in a barrier 10m wide. Compute the angular width of the central maximum. I'm not sure what I am finding here. Is it the angel between the central maximum and the 1st nodal line?...If so am I treating this like a 2 point source problem? Any help...

Need some help with this question. I think I know how to do it but I don't know the speed of sound. Could someone let me know what it is? A rifle is fired in a valley with parallel vertical walls. The echo from one wall is heard 6.0 s after the rifle was fired. The echo from the other wall is...

On average, what is the diameter of a human muscle fiber (say, a bicep muscle)?

Lets take an electron which is "in orbit" around the nucleus. As far as I know, its (ANY conceivable) wavefunction can be represented as a superposition of energy eigenfunctions, which correspond to the discrete eigenvalues of the electron's enrergy. What I do not understand is where the natural...

The cross-section of a tunnel is a circular arc. The maximum height of the tunnel is 10 (units). A vertical strut 9 (units) high supports the roof of the tunnel from a point 27 (units) along the ground from the side. Calculate the width of the tunnel at ground level. Please help me solve...

The size of your eardrum partially determines the upper frequency limit of your audible region, usually between 16,000 Hz and 20,000 Hz. If the wavelength is on the order of twice the diameter of the eardrum and the air temperature is 20 degrees Celcius, how wide is your eardrum? I have no...

Hi! In a non-related forum I'm trying to convince some people that the amount of dry friction has nothing to do with the size of the contact surface, just the normal force (Fn) and the friction coefficient. In this case it's about formula1, tyre width, wear and grip. I say a wider tyre...
