Answer:

λ = 864 nm

Explanation:

To find the wavelength of the light you use the following formula, which determines the position of the m-th fringe in an interference pattern:

y_m=\frac{m\lambda D}{d}   (1)

ym: position of a bright fringe

D: distance from the slits to the screen = 3,7 m

d: distance between slits = 0,2mm = 0,2 *10^-3 m

m: order of the fringe

λ: wavelength of the light

You have the distance from the central peak to the third fringe (0,048m). Then, you can use the equation (1) with m=3 and solve for the wavelength:

y_3=\frac{3\lambda D}{d}\\\\\lambda=\frac{dy_3}{3D}=\frac{(0,2*10^{-3}m)(0,048m)}{3(3,7m)}=8,64*10^{-7}m\\\\\lambda=864*10^{-9}m=864nm

henc, the wavelength of the light is 864nm

A man is using a fishing rod to catch fish in figure 1.
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

In general, these 3rd class levers are very inefficient. Because the force distance is smaller than the load distance, you need to pull upward with more force that the weight of the load. So whatever the load is, the force is going to be much greater.

The distances are always measured to the pivot unless you are asked something specific otherwise.

Givens

F = ?

weight = 6N

Force Distance = F*d = 0.5 m

Weight Distance =W*d1 = 2 m

Formula

F*Fd = W*Wd

Solution

F*0.5 = 6 * 2            Divide by 0.5

F = 12/0.5

F = 24 N upwards

H. The length of the shadow is different in evening and in the day. Justify​
Vinvika [58]

the shadows are exactly the same length in the morning as they are in the evening.

 is so obvious it’s that when the sun is low you get long shadows and when the sun is up in the sky like in the noon the shadow is shorter.
