Answer:

<h2>The answer is 1376 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 8 × 10 × 17.2

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

abruzzese [7]

For a single slit illuminated with a 500 nm light gives a diffraction pattern on a far screen,the angle is mathematically given as

theta=25.3

Option A is correct

<h3> What angle does the 18th minimum occur?</h3>

Generally, the equation for the the angle is mathematically given as

$\theta=n(\lambda/d)$

Therefore

$\theta 1/ \theta 2=n1(\lambda/d)/ n2(\lambda/d)$

In conclusion

theta/7=16/5

theta=10*7/5

theta=25.3
