The intensity at the central maximum of a double-slit interference pattern is 4I_1. The intensity at the first minimum is zero. at what fraction of the distance from the central maximum to the first minimum is the intensity I_1? Thank you.

y = 60λL/πd

Explanation:

To find the distance you can use the expression for the intensity of the fringes in a Young's experiment:

$I=I_ocos^2(\frac{\pi d}{\lambda L}y)$

d: distance between the slits

L: distance to the screen

y: height of the ring

λ: wavelength of light

For the first maximum you have that I=4I_1, thus, for y=0 (central maximum):

I=4I_1 =I_o

to know what is the distance from the central maximum (y=0) you can do y the subject of the formula and replace I=I_1:

$I_1=4I_1cos^2({\frac{\pi d}{\lambda L}}y)\\\\\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}=cos({\frac{\pi d}{\lambda L}}y)\\\\y=\frac{\lambda L}{\pi d}cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}})\\\\y=60\frac{\lambda L}{\pi d}$

hence, the distance in which he intensity is I1 is 60λL/πd

quantum mechanics or quantum physics is physics of very small objects (particles) and physical entities.

quantum physics has some parallels to our macro world and some pretty unique ideas which theoretically and mathematically proven to be true even though we will never be able to access them because of our size.

there are many types of particles: subatomic, elementary etc.

subatomic means they are smaller than atom, elementary means they are at the very basis of everything.

subatomic particles are for eg. protons, neutrons but not electrons.

elementary particles are categorised into 3 groups by what they do.

these 3 groups are quarks, leptons and bosons.

light for example is a particle more precisely a photon a part of leptons.

proton (subatomic particle) is made out of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark each of these has a fractional charge like $\frac{1}{3}$ . (i crazy)

most famous scientist who contributed to this physics are:

max planckalbert einsteinerwin schrödingermany

the topic itself us understand a lot and will probably be vastly used in the future (quantum computers, understanding the big bang,

we also must not forget quantum effects like:

superposition (where 1 thing can be this and that at the same time),entanglement (where two particles are seemingly connected by some sort of unknown (or known) force, energy, matter (i know all that can be the same at least it was at the beginning)

and there is more. but probably too much for this answer to be consistent due to my average understanding of this topic.

hope this you understand quantum mechanics a little more. i'm not an expert in the topic (so don't be like wth if you are an expert) but i'm very interested in it.

anyways quantum physics is a very hard topic (harder than physics (perhaps)) therefore searching for every information there is about it and learning it is unfortunately impossible (you can only specialise into 1 - 3 things or more (perhaps

have fun and i wish you luck!

Why does the equilibrium position of the spring change when a mass is added to the spring? will the mass oscillate around the new equilibrium position of the spring or the previous position without a mass attached to the spring? if the equilibrium position of the spring changes by 20 cm (assuming no initial mass) when a mass is added to the spring with constant 4.9 kg/s^2, what is the mass of the object attached to the spring?
