Answer:
These are Diffraction Grating Questions.
Q1. To determine the width of the slit in micrometers (μm), we will need to use the expression for distance along the screen from the center maximum to the nth minimum on one side:
Given as
y = nDλ/w Eqn 1
where
w = width of slit
D = distance to screen
λ = wavelength of light
n = order number
Making x the subject of the formula gives,
w = nDλ/y
Given
y = 0.0149 m
D = 0.555 m
λ = 588 x 10-9 m
and n = 3
w = 6.6x10⁻⁵m
Hence, the width of the slit w, in micrometers (μm) = 66μm
Q2. To determine the linear distance Δx, between the ninth order maximum and the fifth order maximum on the screen
i.e we have to find the difference between distance along the screen (y₉-y₅) = Δx
Recall Eqn 1, y = nDλ/w
given, D = 27cm = 0.27m
λ = 632 x 10-9 m
w = 0.1mm = 1.0x10⁻⁴m
For the 9th order, n = 9,
y₉ = 9 x 0.27 x 632 x 10-9/ 1.0x10⁻⁴m = 0.015m
Similarly, for n = 5,
y₅ = 5x 0.27 x 632 x 10-9/ 1.0x10⁻⁴m = 0.0085m
Recall, Δx = (y₉-y₅) = 0.015 - 0.0085 = 0.0065m
Hence, the linear distance Δx between the ninth order maximum and the fifth order maximum on the screen = 6.5mm

Answer: Heterogeneous mixture - the parts are not uniformly mixed.
A mixture contains components having distinct chemical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous mixture there is uniform distribution of components. we cannot distinguish one portion of the mixture from another. for example salt mixed in water. In heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly mixed. hence, we are able to distinguish different parts of a mixture, like the mixture of iron, sand and salt given in this question.
