The correct answer is to avoid air resistance

Satellites are moving in the orbit because of the initial force that was applied through the rockets. Now for the satellites to remain in orbit there should not be any friction. As air resistance is also friction that is provided by air, the satellites are 150KM above the surface to avoid air resistance

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

533.33 nm

Explanation:

Since dsinθ = mλ  for each slit, where m = order of slit and λ = wavelength of light. Let m' = 10 th order fringe of the first slit of wavelength of light, λ = 640 nm and m"= 12 th order fringe of the second slight of wavelength of light, λ'.

Since the fringes coincide,

m'λ = m"λ'

λ' = m'λ/m"

= 10 × 640 nm/12

= 6400 nm/12

= 533.33 nm
