Single Slit Problems: 750nm Light & 2.0um Width
Homework Statement At what angle will 750nm light produce a second minimum if the single-slit width is 2.0um Homework Equations Sin(theta)=n(lambda)/w The Attempt at a Solution This is what I got so far (theta)=sin-1(3x10^-6/2x10^-6) I don't understand why I keep getting error on my...- Quantum Fizzics

Calculating Wavelength in a Ripple Tank: Understanding the PS1-PS2 Equation
Homework Statement Two sources 6.0 cm apart, operating in phase, produce water waves. A student selects a point on the first nodal line and measures from it 30.0cm to a point midway between the sources and 5.0cm (on the perpendicular) to the right bisector. a) what is the wavelength Homework...- Quantum Fizzics

Q
Conservation of Momentum law problem
WOW WHAT THE ****, OK I DID THAT ONE BEFORE. Its this right? " V1+V1' = V2+V2'" but can u explain why that is that cus it made some sense to me. & I showed my friend this process but, she said it made no sense so.- Quantum Fizzics
