Light of wavelength 600 nm illuminates a diffraction grating. the second-order maximum is at angle 39.5 ∘. part a how many lines
WARRIOR [948]
Diffraction equation applies in this case:

d*Sin x = m*wavelength, where d = spacing of lines, x = angle = 39.5°, m = order of maximum = 2

Substituting;
d* Sin 39.5 = 2*600*10^-9
d = (2*600*10^-9)/Sin 39.5 = 1.88656*10^-6 m

In 1 mm (or 0.001 m), the number of lines is given as;
Number of lines = 0.001/d = 0.001/(1.88656*10^-6) = 530.065 ≈ 530 lines

If a woman pushes a box for 3 meters and does 600J of work, how much work does the box do?
kykrilka [37]
Energy = force x distance
600 J = force x 3 m
force = 200 N

Work = force x distance
Work = 200 N x 3 m
Work = 600 J

Therefore work done = energy

Pavel [41]

Answer: a= -1.9 m/s²

Explanation: F = ma and a = F / m = 60 N / 32 kg = 1.875 m/s²

Because of law of action and reaction, wall applies same force to dino

In opposite direction and Dino is decelerating. Thus sign Is negative.
