Two lasers are shining on a double slit, with slit separationd. Laser 1 has a wavelength of d/20, whereas laser 2 has a wavelength of d/15. The lasers produce separate interference patternson a screen a distance 5.00 {\rm m} away from the slits.

Which laser has its first maximum closer to the centralmaximum?
Part B
What is the distance Deltay_max-max between the first maxima (on the same side of thecentral maximum) of the two patterns?
Part B.1
Find the location of the first maximum for laser1
Part B.2
Find the location of the first maximum for laser2Part C
What is the distance Deltay_max-min between the second maximum of laser 1 and the thirdminimum of laser 2, on the same side of the central maximum?

a) laser 1 has the maximum closest to the central maximum

b) y₂ –y₁ = L 1.66 10⁻²

Explanation:

a), B1, B2)  The expression that describes the constructive interference for a double slit is

            d sin θ = m λ

The pattern is observed on a screen

            tan θ = y / L

Since the angles are very small

           tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ = y/L

           d y / L = m λ  

In this case the laser has a wavelength

           λ ₁ = d/20

We substitute

            d y / L = m d / 20

            m = 1

            y₁ = L / 20

For the laser 2 λ ₂= d / 15

             y₂ = L / 15

When examining the two expressions, laser 1 has the maximum closest to the central maximum

b) the difference between the two patterns is

            y₂- y₁ = L (1/15 - 1/20)

           y₂ –y₁ = L 1.66 10⁻²

C) laser 1 second maximum

          y₁ ’= 2 L / 20

          y₁ ’= L 0.1

Laser 2 third minimum

To have a minimum, the equation must be satisfied

           d sin θ = (m + ½) λ  

           d y / L = (m + ½) λ  

           d y / L = (m + ½) d / 15

           y = L (m +1/2) / 15

           m = 3

           y₂’= L (3 + ½) / 15

           y₂’= L 0.2333

The difference is

           y₁ ’- y₂’ = L (0.1 - 0.2333)

          y₁ ’–y₂’ = L (-0.133)

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.
