Answer:

= 6.55cm

Explanation:

Given that,

distance = 1.26 m

distance between  two fourth-order maxima = 53.6 cm

distance between central bright fringe and fourth order maxima

y = Y / 2

  =  53.6cm / 2

  = 26.8 cm

  =0.268 m

tan θ = y / d

         = 0.268 m /  1.26 m

         = 0.2127

       θ = 12°

4th maxima

d sinθ = 4λ

d / λ = 4 / sinθ

d / λ = 4 / sin 12°

d / λ = 19.239

for first (minimum)

d sinθ = λ / 2

sinθ =  λ / 2d

       =  1 / 2(19.239)

       = 1 / 38.478

       = 0.02599

    θ =  1.489°

tan θ = y / d

y = d tan θ

  = 1.26 tan 1.489°

  = 0.03275

the total width of the central bright fringe  

Y = 2y

  = 2(0.03275)

  = 0.0655m

  = 6.55cm

Amiraneli [1.4K]
Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.

Do heavier objects fall more slowly than lighter objects?
aksik [14]
Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones

Ann [662]

I attached a free body diagram for a better understanding of this problem.

We start making summation of Moments in A,

\sum M_A = 0

P(6cos\theta)-981(4cos\theta)=0

P=654N

Then we make a summation of Forces in Y,

\sum F_y = 0

654+R-981 = 0

R=327N

At the end we calculate the angle with the sin.

sin\theta = \frac{3m}{4m+2m+2m} = \frac{3m}{8m}

\theta = 22.02\°
