Answer:

The minimum distance moved by mirror is 125 nm

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of light \lambda = 500 \times 10^{-9} m

Here given in question, spot of constructive interference change to a destructive interference.

Hence minimum distance moved by one of mirror is given by,

   t = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{\lambda}{2} )

Where t = distance moved by mirror

   t = \frac{\lambda }{4}

   t = \frac{500\times 10^{-9} }{4}

   t = 125 \times 10 ^{-9}

Therefore, the minimum distance moved by mirror is 125 nm

Earth's gravitational pull just got threetimes stronger! what happens to your weight/
OLga [1]
Hold on and let's discuss this realistically.

Because of gravity, there are two forces between the Earth and me. One draws me toward the Earth. The strength of that force is what I call my "weight". The other force draws the Earth toward me, and has the same strength.

The strength of these forces depends on the masses of the Earth and me. If the strength just tripled, that means that at least one of us just picked up a lot more mass. If the Earth suddenly became three times as massive, then the weight of everything and everybody on it would suddenly triple, and I'm pretty sure it would be the end of all of us before too long.

If it was only MY mass that suddenly tripled, that would mean that I had gone tearing through my house and the neighbour's house, eating everything in sight including the 2 couches, 3 dogs, and 6 TVs. Naturally, just as you would expect, my weight changed from 207 to 621, and my skin is stretched really tight.
