In a single-slit diffraction experiment, the slit is 0.1mm wide and is illuminatedby monochromatic light with a wavelength of 500 nm. the diffraction patternis observed on a screen 10 m away. what is the spacing between successiveminima in the pattern.

m

Explanation:

= slit width = 0.1 mm = 0.1 x 10⁻³ m

= wavelength of monochromatic light = 500 nm = 500 x 10⁻⁹ m

= Distance of the screen = 10 m

= Spacing between successive minima

Spacing between successive minima is given as

Inserting the values given

m

which piece of furniture will have the most inertia and give the furniture movers the most difficulty in moving?  

answer

a 75kg dining table

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
