Answer:
d = 2,042 10-3 m
Explanation:
The laser diffracts in the circular slit, so the process equation is
d sin θ= m λ
The first diffraction minimum occurs for m = 1
We can use trigonometry in the mirror
tan θ = Y / L
Where L is the distance from the Moon to Earth
Since the angle is extremely small
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ
Cos θ = 1
tant θ = sin θ = y / L
We replace
d y / L = λ
d = λ L / y
Let's calculate
d = 532 10⁻⁹ 3.84 10⁶/1 10³
d = 2,042 10-3 m
Weight = m times g = 5.23 times 8.83 = 46.18 N
Atmosphere
Atmospheric gas from prehistoric eras is found trapped in glaciers in the form of bubbles. These gas bubbles are the basis of studying ice cores as they provide us with accurate estimates of the conditions of past climates. The bubbles allow us to determine the composition of atmospheric air, such as the carbon dioxide and methane concentrations, as well as allow us to determine air temperatures in the past.
