    Calculating Slit Width from Diffraction Pattern

    So by dividing by .076 instead of .152 I get 1.316 x 10^-5 which is incorrect. I must be misunderstanding you, sorry.

    Calculating Slit Width from Diffraction Pattern

    Homework Statement The diffraction pattern shown in the figure is produced by passing He-Ne laser light (λ = 632.8 nm) through a single slit and viewing the pattern on a screen 1.58 m behind the slit. What is the slit width? Homework Equations a = {(wavelength)D}/(distance of...

    What is the magnetic flux through a desk at a certain location on Earth?

    Got the answer. I just messed around with some things and tried sin(65) instead of cos(65) and got the right answer of 3.46x10^-5 Wb

    What is the magnetic flux through a desk at a certain location on Earth?

    I'm not sure what you mean but all my teacher said is you measure the angle by saying "Angle of the axis of the object against B"

    What is the magnetic flux through a desk at a certain location on Earth?

    Homework Statement At a certain location, the Earth's magnetic field has a magnitude of 5.6 x 10^−5 T and points in a direction that is 65° below the horizontal. Find the magnitude of the magnetic flux through the top of a desk at this location that measures 110 cm by 62 cm Homework...

    Electric Force charge magnitude

    Homework Statement A 1.0-C charge is 15 m from a second charge, and the force between them is 1.0 N. What is the magnitude of the second charge? Homework Equations F = k(q1)(q2)/r^2 The Attempt at a Solution F = k(q1)(q2)/r^2 need to solve for q2 so... F(r^2)/k(q1) = q2...

    How can I find the current for each resistor in this circuit?

    Solved it! Thanks everybody ;) Took a loooong time but it eventually clicked

    How can I find the current for each resistor in this circuit?

    Since I have to find the current for all 4 resistors can someone please show me how to solve the problem for 1 of the resistors and then let me solve for the remaining 3 on my own? Would that be fair? I can't afford to let this bad teacher ruin my graduation. If the net potential in a...

    How can I find the current for each resistor in this circuit?

    I have to find the current running through each resistor, and isn't that equation V=IR? I know V, I know R, and I know "I" so there is nothing for me to solve for. Or am I supposed to be using a different equation? Sorry for not knowing this better, but my teacher is the worst.

    How can I find the current for each resistor in this circuit?

    12V = I1(4.4 + 1.2 + 9.8) 12V = I1(15.4) I1 = 12V/15.4 I1 = .779 which doesn't get me anywhere either :(

    How can I find the current for each resistor in this circuit?

    (I4)(R6.7) = (I2)(R1.2) got me nowhere either

    How can I find the current for each resistor in this circuit?

    E = (I1)(R4.4) - (I2)(R1.2) - (I3)(R9.8) = 0 That got me nowhere :(
