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

Why do sex cells contain only half the number of chromosomes needed for offspring? Explain
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

None, egg cells don't have chromosomes. No, sex cells do have chromosomes. Meiosis reduces chromosome number so that sex cells (eggs and sperm) have a half set of chromosomes–one homolog of each pair. This is the haploid number.
