Answer:

the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

Explanation:

To find how the distance between fringes is modified you can use the following formula for the calculation of the distance between fringes:

\Delta y=\frac{\lambda D}{d}

D: distance to the screen

d: distance between slits

λ: wavelength of the light

if d is decreased by a factor of 2, that is d'=1/2d, you have:

\Delta y'=\frac{\lambda D}{d'}=\frac{\lambda D}{(1/2)d}=2\Delta y

hence, the distance between adjacent fringes is increased by a factor o 2

Tju [1.3M]

m = mass of the person = 82 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity acting on the person = 9.8 m/s²

F = normal force by the surface on the person

f = kinetic frictional force acting on the person by the surface

μ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.45

The normal force by the surface in upward direction balances the weight of the person in down direction , hence

F = mg                                          eq-1

kinetic frictional force on the person acting is given as

f = μ F

using eq-1

f = μ mg

inserting the values

f = (0.45) (82) (9.8)

f = 361.6 N
