Monochromatic light strikes a diffraction grating at normal incidence before illuminating a screen 1.86 m away. If the first-order maxima are separated by 1.42 m on the screen, what is the distance between the two second-order maxima?

the distance between the two second-order maxima = 3.784m

Explanation:

distance between the slit and the screen L = 1.86 m

first order maxima are separed by   x = 1.42 m / 2

= 0.71m

x = L tanθ₁

θ₁ = tan⁻¹ (x / L)

= tan⁻¹ (0.71 / 1.86)

= 20.89°

diffraction d sinθ = mλ

first order maxima m = 1

sinθ₁ = λ / d  

λ / d = sin20.89°

=0.3566

Second order maxima

sinθ₂ = 2( λ / d )

sinθ₂ = 2(0.3566)

= 0.7132

θ₂ = sin⁻¹ 45.49°

distance between the second order maxima

2x = 2 L tanθ₂

= 2(1.86) tan45.49°

= 3.784m

dopamine..

"it was found that some people who were taking the drug l-dopa to raise their levels of dopamine were developing schizophrenic-like symptoms supporting research a strength of the dopamine hypothesis is that there are many studies which have shown support for the neurochemical explanation."

the small 0.38-kg slider is known to move from position a to position b along the vertical-plane slot. determine (a) the work done on the body by its weight and (b) the work done on the body by the spring. the distance r = 0.70 m, the spring modulus k = 154 n/m, and the unstretched length of the spring is 0.53 m
