Question
In double slit experiment, the wavelength $\lambda $ of the light source $400\ nm$ , the slit seperation $d$ is $20\ \mu m$ and the individual slit width a is $4\ \mu m$ . Consider the interference of the light from the two slits and also the diffraction of light through each slit. Find number bright interference fringes are within the central peak of diffraction envelope

Answer

d
$\mathrm{d} \sin \theta=\mathrm{n} \lambda$ for interference

$\mathrm{d} \sin \theta=\lambda$ for diffraction

$\frac{d}{a}=n=\frac{20}{4}=5$

so interference maximas is in $9$

Three blocks $A, B$ and $C$ are lying on a smooth horizontal surface, as shown in the figure. $A$ and $B$ have equal masses, $m$ while $C$ has mass $M$. Block $A$ is given an initial speed $v$ towards $B$ due to which it collides with $B$ perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with $C$, also perfectly inelastically. The combined mass collides with $C$, also perfectly inelastically if $\frac{5}{6}^{th}$ of the initial kinetic energy is lost in whole process. What is value of $M/m$ ?
