Given that,
Central maximum = 1 cm
Distance from the window shade to the wall =4 m
We know that,
The visible range of the sun light is 400 nm to 700 nm.
(a). We need to calculate the average wavelength
Using formula of average wavelength
Put the value into the formula
(b). We need to calculate the diameter of the pinhole
Using formula for diameter
Put the value into the formula
Hence, (a). The average wavelength 550 nm.
(b). The diameter of the pinhole is 0.537 mm.
Answer:
x = 0.176 m
Explanation:
For this exercise we will take the condition of rotational equilibrium, where the reference system is located on the far left and the wire on the far right. We assume that counterclockwise turns are positive.
Let's use trigonometry to decompose the tension
sin 60 = / T
T_{y} = T sin 60
cos 60 = Tₓ / T
Tₓ = T cos 60
we apply the equation
∑ τ = 0
-W L / 2 - w x + T_{y} L = 0
the length of the bar is L = 6m
-Mg 6/2 - m g x + T sin 60 6 = 0
x = (6 T sin 60 - 3 M g) / mg
let's calculate
let's use the maximum tension that resists the cable T = 900 N
x = (6 900 sin 60 - 3 200 9.8) / (700 9.8)
x = (4676 - 5880) / 6860
x = - 0.176 m
Therefore the block can be up to 0.176m to keep the system in balance.
