Basic equation: X/L = Wavelength/D

if Wavelength = XD/L how do I solve for X, D , And L?

Please Help
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
X = WL/D

D = WL/X

L = XD/W

Simple questions with simple answers. Glad I could help!
 
thanks a lot!
 
Not only am I glad to post, but guess what.

This is OFFICIALLY my favorite post here ever. The dudes asks a question. It's math, which is far above science. The question ( or set of 3 questons) have one and only one answer in his setup. There is no room for error.

Ya damn did the best and most irrefutable post ever. MY FREAKIN FAVORITE!

PS: Needless to say, watch someone come here and refute it. That persons brain surely needs some help. Secondly, someone will jokingly refute it cuzz I said this, and to that person I say "I speeet on you"
 

Thread 'Non-orthogonal bases'

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
