Balmer series experiment

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on understanding the parameters needed for the Balmer series experiment, specifically the variables n, θ, and d. The user seeks clarification on how to find the wavelength (λ) without knowing the value of d. It is confirmed that d, the distance between diffraction grating lines, can be calculated as 1/300 mm given the grating has 300 lines per millimeter. This information is essential for proceeding with the calculations related to the experiment. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between these variables in the context of diffraction.

Canculate ##\lambda## using information you have.
Relevant Equations
##n\lambda=d\sin\theta##
Hello. In data that the professor sent, I see only ##n## and ##\theta##. So I do not know what is d. Can I find ##\lambda## without it?

On other thing he mentioned :
Suppose that the diffraction grating consists of 300 lines per millimeter.

I know that d is the distance between two consecutive diffraction grating lines, but I don't know if it has anything to do with what my teacher said.

Can I say that for one line that passes through the diffraction grating d is 1/300 mm ?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
