The geologic record is the history of Earth as recorded in the rocks that make up its crust. Rocks have been forming and wearing away since Earth first started to form, creating sediment that accumulates in layers of rock called strata. The way these strata are arranged and what fossils are in them give scientists clues about what Earth was like billions of years ago.

The tension has to hold the part of the weight in the direction of the string:

T = mg*cos(theta)

Theta=0, whole weight, theta=90, T=0, if the pendulum is horizontal, the string will be loose! Yeah

You find an unmarked blue laser on your way to physics class. When you get to class you realize you can determine the wavelength
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

λ = 451.7 nm

Explanation:

The expression for the constructive interference of the double diffraction experiment is

          d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

          tan θ = y / L

   

how the experiment occurs at very small angles

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

          sin θ = y / L

we substitute

         d y / L = m λ  

         λ = \frac{d \ y}{m \ L}

let's calculate

          λ = \frac{0.342 \ 10^{-3} \ 2.80 \ 10^{-3} }{1 \ 2.12 }

          λ = 4.51699 10⁻⁷ m

          λ = 4.517 10⁻⁷ m (109 nm / 1m)

          λ = 451.7 nm
