Radial acceleration is given by

a_{rad}= \frac{v^2}{r}
where 

v=r \omega
then

a_{rad}= \frac{r^2 \omega^2}{r}=r\omega^2

Now

70\omega^2=3.90 \frac{m}{s^2}  \\  \\ \omega= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }

Using the relation

\omega=2 \pi f

2 \pi f= \sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }\\  \\ f= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70} }Hz

Putting into rpm

\frac{60}{2 \pi}\sqrt{ \frac{3.9}{70}} =2.254rpm

The interference pattern seen when light passes through narrow, closely spaced slits, is due to
Lelu [443]
<h2>Answer: Diffraction</h2><h2 />

Diffraction  is a characteristic phenomenon that occurs in all types of waves .

In this sense,  <u>diffraction</u> happens when a wave (the light in this case) meets an obstacle or a slit .When this occurs, the light bends around the corners of the obstacle or passes through the opening of the slit that acts as an obstacle, forming <u><em>multiple patterns</em></u> with the shape of the aperture of the slit.

Note that the principal condition for the occurrence of this phenomena is that <u>the obstacle must be comparable in size (similar size) to the size of the wavelength. </u>

If wheel turning at a constant rate completes 100 revolutions in 10 s its angular speed is:
GenaCL600 [577]
The frequency of the wheel is given by:
f= \frac{N}{t}
where N is the number of revolutions and t is the time taken. By using N=100 and t=10 s, we find the frequency of the wheel:
f= \frac{100}{10 s}=10 s^{-1}

And now we can find the angular speed of the wheel, which is related to the frequency by:
\omega=2 \pi f=2 \pi (10 s^{-1})=62.8 s^{-1}
