Answer:

for the first interference m = 1   y = 2,839 10-3 m

for the second interference m = 2   y = 5,678 10-3 m

Explanation:

The double slit interference phenomenon, for constructive interference is described by the expression

                d sin θ = m λ

where d is the separation between the slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer that corresponds to the interference we see.

In these experiments in general the observation screen is L >> d, let's use trigonometry to find the angles

           tan θ = y / L

with the angle it is small,

          tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

   

we substitute

         sin θ = y / L

         d y / L = m λ

the distance between the central maximum and an interference line is

        y = m λ L / d

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

     λ = 546 nm = 546 10⁻⁹ m

     d = 0.25 mm = 0.25 10⁻³ m

let's substitute the values

      y = m 546 10⁻⁹ 1.3 / 0.25 10⁻³

      y =  m 2,839 10⁻³

the explicit value for a line depends on the value of the integer m, for example

for the first interference m = 1

the distance from the central maximum to the first line is y = 2,839 10-3 m

for the second interference m = 2

the distance from the central maximum to the second line is y = 5,678 10-3 m

A split highway has a number of lanes for traffic. For traffic going in one direction, the radius for the inside of the curve is
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The correct one is that the force on B is half of the force on A

Explanation:

Because radius for the inside of the curve is half the radius for the outside and Car A travels on the inside while car B, travels at equal speed on the outside of the curve. Thus force on B will be half on A

Where is the fulcrum of a broom?
algol [13]

It's one of your hands.  Which one it is depends on how you sweep.

-- If you hold the top of the stick motionless and wave your bottom hand
back and forth, then your top hand is the fulcrum, and you're using the
broom as a Class-3 lever.

-- If you hold your bottom hand motionless and wiggle the top end of the
broom back and forth with your top hand, then your lower hand is the fulcrum,
and you're using the broom as a Class-1 lever.
