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

What are the two types of electrical circuits
uysha [10]

Series Circuit
A series circuit there is only one path for the electrons to flow (see image of series circuit). The main disadvantage of a series circuit is that if there is a break in the circuit the entire circuit is open and no current will flow. An example of a series would the the lights on many inexpensive Christmas trees. If one light goes out all of them will.



Parallel Circuit
In a parallel circuit the different parts of the electric circuit are on several different branches. There are several different paths that electrons can flow. If there is a break in one branch of the circuit electrons can still flow in other branches (see image of parallel circuit). Your home is wired in a parallel circuit so if one light bulb goes out the other will stay on.

The components of vector A are:
Korvikt [17]

here as it is given that x component of the vector is positive while y component of the vector is negative so we can say the vector must inclined in Fourth quadrant.

So angle must be more than 270 degree and less than 360 degree

Now in order to find the value we can say that

tan\theta = \frac{opposite\: side}{adjacent\: side}

tan\theta = \frac{8.6}{6.1}

\theta = tan^{-1}1.41

\theta = 54.65^0

so it is inclined at above angle with X axis in fourth quadrant

Now if angle is to be measured counterclockwise then its magnitude will be

\theta = 360 - 54.65 = 305.3^0

so the correct answer will be 305 degree

If you increase the force acting on an object, what will happen to the object's motion
Mama L [17]
Force is directly proportional to rate of change of velocity so it increasing, velocity (motion of the object) will also increase.

Hope this helps!
