It’s not flat because how can we be 3D when our planet is flat
Answer: i) 2.356 × 10^-3 m = 2.356mm, ii) 4.712 × 10^-3 m = 4.712mm
Explanation: The formulae that relates the position of a fringe from the center to the wavelength, distance between slits and distance between slits and screen is given below as
y = R×(mλ/d)
Where y = distance between nth fringes and the center fringe.
m = order of fringe
λ = wavelength of light = 589nm = 589×10^-9m
R = distance between slits and screen = 1.0m
d = distance between slits = 0.25mm = 0.00025m
For distance between the first dark fringe and the center fringe.
This implies that m = 1
y = 1 × 589×10^-9 × 1/0.00025
y = 589×10^-9/0.00025
y = 2,356,000 × 10^-9
y = 2.356 × 10^-3 m = 2.356mm
For the second dark fringe, this implies that m = 2
y = 1 × 2 × 589×10^-9/0.00025
y = 1178 × 10^-9 /0.00025
y = 4,712,000 × 10^-9
y = 4.712 × 10^-3 m = 4.712mm
Those two units can be compared to a 'mile per hour' and a 'mile per hour - hour'.
One is a rate. The other is a quantity, after maintaining a rate for some time.
-- 'Joule' is a unit of energy. It's the amount of work (energy) you do
when you push with a force of 1 newton though a distance of 1 meter.
Lifting 10 pound of beans 3 feet off the floor takes about 40.7 joules of energy.
-- 'Watt' is a <u><em>rate</em></u> of using energy . . . 1 joule per second.
If you lift 10 pounds 3 feet off the floor in 1 second, your <em>power</em> is 40.7 watts.
-- 'Watt-second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 1 joule.
-- 'Watt-hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1 joule per second . . . 3,600 joules.
-- 'Kilowatt' is a bigger <em>rate</em> of using energy . . . 1,000 joules per second.
-- 'Kilowatt - second' is the amount of energy used in one second,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 1,000 joules .
-- 'Kilowatt - hour' is the amount of energy used in one hour,
at the rate of 1,000 joules per second . . . 3,600,000 joules .
Depending on where you live, 3,600,000 joules of energy bought
from the electric company costs something between 5¢ and 25¢.
