With the use of the formula SinФ = nλ / d, there are 16 spectral orders which can be seen when it is illuminated by white light.

Given that a grating has 2000 slits/cm. That is,

d = 0.01 / 2000

d = 5 x 10^{-6} m

The wavelength λ = (700 - 400) nm

λ = 300 x 10^{-9} m

To calculate how many full spectral orders that can be seen (400 to 700 nm) when it is illuminated by white light, we will use the below formula

SinФ = nλ / d

Φ = Sin^{-1} (nλ / d)

When n = 1

Φ = Sin^{-1}(300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Φ = 3.4 degrees

when n = 2

Φ = Sin^{-1}(2 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Ф = 6.9 degrees

When n = 3

Ф = Sin^{-1}(3 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

When n = 16

Ф = Sin^{-1}(16 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Ф = Sin^{-1}(0.96)

Ф = 73.7 degrees

when n = 17

Ф = Sin^{-1}(17 x 300 x 10^{-9}/ 5 x 10^{-6} )

Ф = Sin^{-1}(1.05)

Ф = Error ( that is, it does not exist)

Therefore, there are 16 spectral orders which can be seen when it is illuminated by white light.

If a 1.00 kg body has an acceleration of 2.44 m/s2 at 53° to the positive direction of the x axis, then what are (a) the x comp
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) Fx = 1.464 N

(b) Fy = 1.952 N

(c) F(x, y) = 1.464 i + 1.952 j

Given

Mass = 1kg

Acceleration = 2.44 m/s2

Angle with positive X axis = 53°

As we know

F = ma

By substituting value

F= 1×2.44 N

F= 2.44 N

(a)   Component of force in X direction

Fx = F Cosθ

Fx = 2.44 Cos(53°)

Fx = 2.44 × 0.60 = 1.464 N

(b) Component of force in Y direction

Fy = F Sinθ

Fy = 2.44 Sin(53°) = 2.44 × 0.80 = 1.952 N

(c) Net force in vector notation

F(x, y) = 1.464 i + 1.952 j

Thus we got net force.
