Thanks, I was using 6/5 instead of 7/5
This still leaves me with the values 2.49, and 5.84 as the values for the 3rd and 6th minima.
The online module gives three attempts, and I've already used 2 (my friend told me to treat it as a double slit system, not surprisingly it was incorrect). Is...
Homework Statement
A five-slit system with 8.4*10-6 slit spacing is illuminated with 610*10-9 light.
Find the angular position of the first two maxima, and the 3rd and 6th minima.
Homework Equations
For Maxima:
d*sin(θ) = m*λ
θ = sin-1((m*λ)/d)
For Minima:
d*sin(θ) = (m/N)λ
θ =...
Homework Statement
When a star like our Sun exhausts its fuel, thermonuclear reactions in its core cease, and it collapses to become a white dwarf. Often the star will blow off its outer layers and lose some mass before it collapses. Suppose a star with the Sun’s mass and radius (the radius of...
