    Magnetic fields and induced EMF

    Homework Statement An coil has 4000 turns of wire and a mean area of cross-section 25cm^2. A magnetic field of flux density 0.16T passes through it. When the magnetic field is reduced steadily to zero in 0.0050s, emf is induced across the terminals of the coil. Calculate the value of this...

    Number of Visible Diffraction Orders on a Grating

    Thanks for your help. Here is my improved answer: λ = 500nm = 5 X 10ˉ⁷m d = 6 X 10⁵ per metre = 1 ÷ 6 X 10⁵ = 16.7 X 10ˉ⁷m n = 16.7 X 10ˉ⁷ X sin 90 ÷ 5 X 10ˉ⁷ = 3.34 There will be 3 orders of diffraction visible Is this correct? If not please tell me where I am going wrong Thanks

    Number of Visible Diffraction Orders on a Grating

    Homework Statement How many orders of diffraction will be visible if light of wavelength 500nm fals on a grating with 600 000 lines per metre? Homework Equations n = dsinѲ / λ The Attempt at a Solution n = 6X10⁵m ÷ 5 X 10ˉ⁷m = 1.2 So 1 order of diffraction will be visible is...
