You want to estimate the diameter of a very small circular pinhole that you've made in a piece of aluminum foil. to do so, you s

hine a red laser pointer (λ = 632 nm) at the hole and observe the diffraction pattern on a screen 3.4 m behind the foil. you measure the width of the central maximum to be 12 mm .

Central maximum = d* wavelength/ D
thus
12*10-^3 = 3.4*6.32*10-^7/D
D = 3.4*6.32*10-^7/12*10-^3
D = 1.79*10-^4 m

What happens when the elevator is in free-fall, that is, what is the value for FN and what is the sensation experienced by the p
Komok [63]

Answer:

Weightlessness

Explanation:

When the elevator is in free fall, this can only occur when the cord of the elevator breaks.

The acceleration of the elevator will be equal to the acceleration due to gravity. That is:

a = g

Then, the body will experience what we called WEIGHTLESSNESS

Where the normal reaction N of the person will tend to zero. That is

N = 0

The value of FN < 0 because the person inside the lift will experience weightlessness.
