The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

Given:  

diffraction grating slits = 900 slits per centimeter

interference pattern that is observed on a screen from the grating = 2.38m

maxima for two different wavelengths = 3.40mm

 

slit separation .. d = 1/900cm = 1.11^-3cm = 1.111^-5 m <span>

Whenas n = 1, maxima (grating equation) sinθ = λ/d 
Grant distance of each maxima from centre = y .. 
<span>As sinθ ≈ y/D  y/D = λ/d λ = yd / D </span>

∆λ = (λ2 - λ1) = y2.d/D - y1.d/D 
∆λ = (d/D) [y2 -y1] 

<span>∆λ = 1.111^-5m x [3.40^-3m] / 2.38m .. .. ►∆λ = 1.587^-8 m</span></span>

What is Archimedes principle?​
trasher [3.6K]

Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid is subjected to an upwards force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. This is a first condition of equilibrium. We consider that the above force, called force of buoyancy, is located in the centre of the submerged hull that we call centre of buoyancy.

What forces cause the magnetic repulsion and attraction?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The cause of a magnetic force are small electrical currents or moving charges: Tiny circular currents at the atomic level are responsible in a permanent magnet for it to exert a magnetic force.

Explain why isokinetic exercises cannot generally be performed by individuals at home.
Lina20 [59]

Iso-kinetic exercises cannot be performed at home by an individual because they require specific machines that enable to exercise at a constant speed with professional guidance.

<u>Explanation :</u>

Iso-kinetic exercises are that kind of training regimes that require a constant pace to strengthen your muscles with the help of machines with significant specifications.

The machines involved in iso-kinetic exercises control your pace with variable resistance throughout the session and hence, it’s not a cup of tea for an individual to trace his/her performances and the respective improvements.

So, before going for a iso-kinetic schedule, be sure to have a word with your physiotherapist to train well with the machines under the specifications that can better suit your body and its requirements.

Two identical space probes are orbiting Jupiter. Scientists determine that one of the space probes has a larger gravitational fo
galina1969 [7]

If the probes are identical, then the one that feels a larger gravitational
force is orbiting closer to Jupiter than the other one is.

If they're not identical, then the one with greater mass will feel more
gravitational force than the one with less mass, even if they're both
the same distance from Jupiter.  (We know this from the experimental
observation that fatter people weigh more, even on Earth.)
