A laser emits two wavelengths (λ1 = 420 nm; λ2 = 630 nm). When these two wavelengths strike a grating with 450 lines/mm, they pr
oduce maxima (in different orders) that coincide.
a. What is the order (m) of each of the two overlapping lines?
b. At what angle does this overlap occur?

Answer:
<em>2.78m/s²</em>
Explanation:
Complete question:
<em>A box is placed on a 30° frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline when the co-efficient of friction is 0.25?</em>
According to Newton's second law of motion:
Where:
is the coefficient of friction
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Fm is the moving force acting on the body
Ff is the frictional force
m is the mass of the box
a is the acceleration'
Given
Required
acceleration of the box
Substitute the given parameters into the resulting expression above:
Recall that:
9.8sin30 - 0.25(9.8)cos30 = ax
9.8(0.5) - 0.25(9.8)(0.866) = ax
4.9 - 2.1217 = ax
ax = 2.78m/s²
<em>Hence the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline is 2.78m/s²</em>
