Asingle-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant screen. assuming the angles involved are small, by what factor will the width of the central bright spot on the screen change if the distance from the slit to the screen is doubled?

y and length is directly relation

Explanation:

Given data

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed on a distant scree

angles involved = small

to find out

what factor will the width of the central bright spot on the screen change

solution

we know that  for single slit screen formula is

mass ƛ /area = sin θ and y/L = sinθ

so we can say mass ƛ /area =  y/L

and y = mass length  ƛ / area       1

in equation 1 here we can see y and length is directly relation so we can say from equation 1 that  the width of the central bright spot on the screen change if the distance from the slit to the screen is doubled

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
