In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by

(1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern

is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit
In our problem,


while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is

(2)
If we use the formula to rewrite

, eq.(2) becomes

Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
According to the second law of thermodynamics,
the answer is

Answer:
84.4 %
Explanation:
Mechanical efficiency = output work/input work × 100 %
output work = 432 J of work for the bike to turn the gears
input work = 512 J of work to ride.
Mechanical efficiency = 432 J/512 J × 100 %
= 0.844 × 100%
= 84.4 %
