    Calculating Single Slit Diffraction Width with 630 nm Light

    Homework Statement A single slit is illuminated with 630 nm light, and the resulting diffraction pattern is viewed on a screen 2.8 m away. If the linear distance between the first and second dark fringes of the pattern is 12 cm, what is the width of the slit? Homework Equations y=Ltan\theta W =...

    Interference pattern, wavelength

    Homework Statement Suppose the interference pattern shown in the figure is produced by monochromatic light passing through two slits, with a separation of 127 µm, and onto a screen 1.14 m away. What is the wavelength? Homework Equations wavelength = (dsin\theta) / m y=Ltan\theta...

    Ksp vs Ka: What's the difference and how does it relate to precipitation?

    Homework Statement NaCl is added slowly to a solution that is 0.010M in each Cu+, Ag+ and Au+. Ksp's are 1.9x10^-7, 1.8x10^-10 and 2.0x10^-13 respectively. Which compound will precipitate first? Can anyone tell me how the Ksp is different from Ka? and the relationship to precipitation?

    Finding AREA in POLAR COORDINATE

    I'm sorry but I don't get it. Can you show me, perhaps with a different example so it's not like you're doing the homework for me?

    Calculators Solving TI-89 Exact/Approx Homework Problem

    Homework Statement Recently got a ti-89 and when I use it to derive for example d(x^2+4x-10, x) I get a decimal, 5.27 instead of getting 2x+4. The Attempt at a Solution I tried changing the mode to exact, approx, and auto. All give the same answer. I tried pressing the diamond button...

    Calculate Earth's Magnetic Flux at a Certain Location

    Horizontal. and since the I'm looking for the magnetic flux, it should be perpendicular to the area so I use sine instead of cosine. What a stupid mistake haha, thank you for your help!

    Calculate Earth's Magnetic Flux at a Certain Location

    1. At a certain location, the Earth's magnetic field has a magnitude of 5.6x10-5 T and points in a direction that is 72 degrees below the horizontal. FInd the magnitude of the magnetic flux through the top of a desk at this location that measures 110 cm by 57 cm. 2. I used the formula \Phi = BA...
