A diffraction grating is to be used to find the wavelength of the emission spectrum of a gas. The grating spacing is not known,

but light of a known wavelength of 632.8 nm is deflected by 43.2° in the second order by this grating. Light of the wavelength to be measured is deflected by 34.9° in the second order. What is the wavelength of the light that is to be measured?

Answer:

528.9 nm

Explanation:

For a grating dsinθ = mλ where m = order of grating, d = grating space, λ = wavelength of light and θ = angle of deflection of light

First, we find the grating space d = mλ/sinθ where m = 2 for second order, λ = 632.8 nm = 632.8 × 10⁻⁹ m, θ = 43.2°

d = mλ/sinθ = 2 × 632.8 × 10⁻⁹ m ÷ sin43.2° = 1.849 × 10⁻⁶ m = 1.849 μm

We now find the wavelength of the light to be measured from λ = dsinθ/m

Here, θ = 34.9° and m = 2 for second order. So, we have

λ = dsinθ/m = 1.849 × 10⁻⁶ m × sin34.9° ÷ 2 = 0.5289 × 10⁻⁶ m = 528.9 nm

Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?
PtichkaEL [24]
D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

What is the velocity of a bicycle in meters per second if it travels 1 kilometer west in 4.1 minutes
valentinak56 [21]
1 kilometre is equal to 1000m
and 4.1 minutes is equal to 246 seconds
thus 1000/246 = 4.065 m/s
and the direction is towards the west
