A physics instructor wants to project a spectrum of visible-light colors from 400 nm to 700 nm as part of a classroom demonstrat

ion. She shines a beam of white light through a diffraction grating that has 600 lines per mm, projecting a pattern on a screen 2.9 m behind the grating.
Required:
How wide is the spectrum corresponding to m=1?

Answer:

  Dr = 263 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern for constructive interference is described by

        a sin θ = m λ

in this it indicates that the order of diffraction is m = 1

Let's use a direct proportion rule to find the separation of two slits. If there are 600 lines in 1 me, what is the distance between 2 slits

   a = 2 lines 1/600

   a = 2/600

    a = 3.33 10⁻³ mm = 3.33 10⁻⁴ cm

let's use trigonometry

      tan θ = y / L

as the measured angles are small

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ sin θ

      sin θ = y / L

we substitute

     a  y/L = λ

     y = λ L / a

for λ = 400 10-9 m

      I = 400 10⁻⁹ 2.9 / 3.33 10⁻³

      i = 346.89 10⁻⁶ m

f

or λ = 700 nm

        y_f = 700 10⁻⁻⁹ 2.9 / 3.33 10⁻³

        y_f = 609.609 10⁻⁶ m

the separation of this spectrum

        Δr = v_f - i

        Dr = (609.609 - 346)  10 ⁻⁶

        Dr = 263 10⁻⁶ m

Abnormal protrusion of the eye out of the orbit is known as
kifflom [539]

Answer:

Exophthalmos

Explanation:

Exophthalmos is a disorder which can be either bilateral or unilateral. Sometimes it is also known by other names like Exophthalmus, Excophthamia, Exobitism.

It is basically the bulging of eye anterior out of orbit which if left unattended may result in eye openings even while sleeping consequently resulting in comeal dryness and damage which ultimately may lead to blindness.

It is commonly caused by trauma or swelling of eye surrounding tissues resulting from trauma.

Calculate the AMA of an access ramp if it takes 255 N of force to push a person in a wheelchair having a combined weight of 764
Andreyy89
Actual Mechanical Advantage(AMA) = Weight / Force
Here, Weight = 764 N
Force = 255 N

Substitute the values in to the expression, 
AMA = 764 / 255
AMA = 2.99

After rounding-off to the nearest tenth value, it would be 3

Finally, option C would be your answer.

Hope this helps!
