A diffraction grating can be used as a "beam-splitter", breaking up the initial beam into multiple bright spots on a distant screen. If the laser you use has a wavelength of 516 nm and the screen is 4 meters away, and you need the spacing between spots to be 14 cm, what is the spacing of slits (lines) you should use on your diffraction grating? Express your answer in lines/mm. Answer:

As an admirer of Thomas Young, you perform a double-slit experiment in his honor. You set your slits 1.15 mm apart and position your screen 3.53 m from the slits. Although Young had to struggle to achieve a monochromatic light beam of sufficient intensity, you simply turn on a laser with a wavelength of 641 nm . How far on the screen are the first bright fringe and the second dark fringe from the central bright fringe? Express your answers in millimeters. first bright fringe: mm second dark fringe:
Figure shows the total acceleration and velocity of a particle moving clockwise in a circle of radius 2.5 m at a given instant of time. At this instant, find: (a) the radial acceleration, (b) the speed of the particle and (c) its tangential acceleration.
Min Ji observes that an x-ray beam of wavelength 1.6 × 10-10 m causes first order constructive interference when it makes an angle of 30° with a set of planes in a crystal. Determine the plane spacing in the Crystal in nanometers with two decimal places please.
You perform a double‑slit experiment in order to measure the wavelength of the new laser that you received for your birthday. You set your slit spacing at 1.09 mm and place your screen 8.39 m from the slits. Then, you illuminate the slits with your new toy and find on the screen that the tenth bright fringe is 4.57 cm away from the central bright fringe (counted as the zeroth bright fringe). What is your laser's wavelength ? expressed in nanometers?

The diffraction limit, the smallest angle in degrees that can be resolved, is 250,000 arcsec × (wavelength/diameter of telescope). Humans have two eyes separated by about 7.3 cm and a marvelous computer between their ears. If this optical interferometer is just as good as one eyeball with a diameter as large as the separation of two regular eyeballs, what is the diffraction limit in arcsec of human vision for visible light at 480 nm?
Irina finds an unlabeled box of fine needles, and wants to determine how thick they are. A standard ruler will not do the job, as each needle is less than a millimeter thick. So, to find the thickness, she uses a needle to poke a hole in a piece of brown construction paper. Then, she positions a 670 nm laser pointer to shine through the hole and project a circular diffraction pattern on a wall 21.7 m away. She then uses her ruler to measure that the central bright circle is 15.7 cm in diameter. What diameter does Irina calculate for the needle? diameter: um
Young's experiment uses a laser with a wavelength λ = 632.8 nm, a slit separation of 0.5 mm and an observation distance of 40 cm. What is the separation of the stripes if the experiment is performed in (a) air (n = 1,0003), (b) a carbon dioxide environment (n = 1,0005), and (c) in water (n = 1,333)?

When a certain crystal is illuminated with an X-ray source of unknown wavelength, a first-order X-ray diffraction maximum is observed at an angle of 27.1∘∘. (All angles are measured relative to the Bragg plane.) When illuminated with a different source with a known wavelength 0.126 nm, a second-order maximum is detected at 32∘∘. Part A) What is the distance, in nanometers, between the Bragg planes? Part B ) What is the wavelength, in nanometers, of the first, source?
