X-ray diffraction is used to study the structure of crystallized proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological macromolecules. It was actually the technique used to study the structure of DNA in the early 1950s. X-rays of wavelength 0.20 nm are to used to study the structure of a protein. One of the maxima in intensity is located at 0.8 rad from the crystal planes responsible for this maximum.

PART A
Which wavelength of x-ray listed below would give you a maximum at the same location?
a. .26nm
b. .43nm
c. .34nm
d. .60nm

PART B
If this is the first maximum for the X-rays of wavelength 0.17 nm , what is the crystal plane separation of the protein that is responsible?
a. .12nm
b. .24nm
c. .17nm
d. .11nm

PART C
Why can't visible light be used to study the structure of proteins such as this?
a. Visible light reflects off of the surface of proteins.
b. Visible light does not have enough energy.
c. The wavelengths of visible light are too long compared to the atomic spacing.
d. The wavelengths of visible light are too short compared to the atomic spacing.

Arunner is jogging at a steady 3.6 km/hr. when the runner is 2.9 km from the finish line, a bird begins flying from the runner to the finish line at 14.4 km/hr (4 times as fast as the runner). when the bird reaches the finish line, it turns around and flies back to the runner. even though the bird is a dodo, we will assume that it occupies only one point in space, i.e., a zero-length bird. how far does the bird travel? (b) after this first encounter, the bird then turns around and flies from the runner back to the finish line, turns around again and flies back to the runner. the bird repeats the back and forth trips until the runner reaches the finish line. how far does the bird travel from the beginning? (i.e. include the distance traveled to the first encounter)
