The reflective surface of a cd consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. if you shine a laser pointer on a cd, each groove reflects circular waves that look exactly like the circular waves transmitted by the slits in a grating. you shine a green laser pointer (λ = 532 nm) perpendicularly to the surface of a cd and observe a diffraction pattern on a screen that is 3.0 m away from the cd. you observe that the 1st order maximum (m = 1)appears 1.1 m away from the central maximum (m = 1).part a. determine the distance between the adjacent grooves on a cd. part b. estimate the total number of bits (units of information) on a cd, assuming that each bit occupies a square with sides that are equal to the distance between the adjacent grooves. a cd is 12 cm in diameter and has an unused central zone 4.5 cm in diameter.

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. at one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m/s, it then flies a further distance of 40100 m and afterwards its velocity is 47.5 m/s. find the airplane\'s acceleration and calculate how much time elapses while the airplane covers those 40100 m.
