A) 4.7 cm
The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is
where
n is the order of the maximum
is the wavelength
is the distance between the slits
In this problem,
n = 5
So we find
And given the distance of the screen from the slits,
The distance of the 5th bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by
B) 8.1 cm
The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:
To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:
And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by
His total displacement from his original position is -1 m
We know that total displacement of an object from a position x to a position x', d = final position - initial position.
d = x' - x
If we assume the lad's initial position in front of her house is x = 0 m. The lad then moves towards the positive x-axis, 5 m. He then ends up at x' = 5 m. He then finally goes back 6 m.
Since displacement = final position - initial position, and his displacement is d' = -6 m (since he moves in the negative x - direction or moves back) from his initial position of x' = 5 m.
His final position, x" after moving back 6 m is gotten from
x" - x' = -6 m
x" = -6 + x'
x" = -6 + 5
x" = -1 m
Thus, his total displacement from his original position is
d = final position - initial position
d = x" - x
d = -1 m - 0 m
d = -1 m
So, his total displacement from his original position is -1 m

If a Substance conducts heat easily then it is considered a good conductor, since the electrons can move freely within the substance.
