In an experiment conducted using the Young's double-slit apparatus, the separation between the slits is 20 µm. A first-order con

structive interference fringe appears at an angle of 2.5o from the zeroth order (central) fringe.
A. What wavelength of light is used in the experiment?
B. At what angle would the fourth-order (m = 4) bright fringe appear?
C. At what angle would the fourth-order (m=4) dark fringe appear?

To solve this problem, we use the formula
λ = s sin θ
where s is the separation and θ is the angle interference
So,
λ = 20 x 10^-6 sin 2.5
λ = 8.72 x 10^-7 m

The required angle for the fourth order bright fringe is
θb = sin⁻¹ (4λ / s) = sin⁻¹ (4 (8.72 x 10^-7 m)/ 20 x 10^-6 ) = 10.04°

The required angle for the fourth order dark fringe is
θd = sin⁻¹ (4.5 λ / s) = sin⁻¹ (4.5 (8.72 x 10^-7 m)/ 20 x 10^-6 ) = 11.31°

mezya [45]
We actually don't need to know how far he/she is standing from the net, as we know that the ball reaches its maximum height (vertex) at the net. At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m. So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY....... We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction. 
IN Y DIRECTION: v² = u² + 2as 0 = u² - 2gh u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end) 
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity) So rearranging, velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3° = √(2gh)/sin 3° = (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3° = 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal (2 sig figs)
