Tendon Sheath - is a specialized bursa that wraps around a tendon to reduce friction.

<h3>What is Tendon Sheath ?</h3>

Tendon Sheath is a thin layer of tissue, surrounds each tendon in our body. The tendon sheath can also be called synovial lining or fibrous sheath. Tendon sheaths help to protect tendons from abrasive damage as they move.

Connection between Bursa and Tendon Sheath : Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that can lie under a tendon, cushioning the tendon and protecting it from the injury. Bursae also provides an extra cushioning to adjacent structures that otherwise might rub against each other, which will cause wear and tear ( example, between a bone and a ligament ) .

So, lastly we can say that Tendon Sheath is the specialized bursa that wraps around a tendon to reduce friction.

Light of wavelength 600 nm passes though two slits separated by 0.22mm and is observed on a screen 1.1m behind the slits. The lo

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

$y(m=1)=\frac{(1)(600*10^{-9}m)(1.1m)}{0.22m}=3*10^{-6}m\\\\y(m=1)=\frac{(-1)(600*10^{-9}m)(1.1m)}{0.22m}=-3*10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

We have to take into account the expression for the position of the fringes

$dsen\theta=m\lambda\\y=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}$

where m is the number of the maximum, d is the separation of the slits, D is the distance to the screen.

(a) By replacing we obtain

$y(m=1)=\frac{(1)(600*10^{-9}m)(1.1m)}{0.22m}=3*10^{-6}m\\\\y(m=1)=\frac{(-1)(600*10^{-9}m)(1.1m)}{0.22m}=-3*10^{-6}m$

(b) more information is required to solve this point. Please complete the information.

HOPE THIS HELPS!
