Interference pattern of light through a grating

AI Thread Summary
Monochromatic light with a frequency of 6.50 x 10^14 Hz is used in an experiment involving a diffraction grating with 4.00 x 10^4 lines/m, resulting in an interference pattern on a screen 1.10 m away. Participants in the discussion clarify that the problem requires the application of specific formulas to find the distance of the first-order maximum from the central maximum. They emphasize the need for the user to show their work to receive assistance. The conversation highlights a lack of confidence in physics knowledge among some participants. Ultimately, the focus remains on solving the diffraction problem using relevant equations.

can someone please solve this equation

Monochromatic light with a frequency of 6.50 x 10^14 hz is directed on a diffraction grating ruled with 4.00 x 10^4 lines/m. An interference pattern is produced on a screen 1.10m from the grating. How far is the 1st order maximum from the central maximum?

Welcome to PF. First of all, this is not an equation. Second, we can help you solve a problem. You just have to show us what you have done to solve it and then we can help you.

l= 1.10m
d=______
n=______
x= ?
f= 6.50 x 10^14

umm sorry but I am not very good with physics
one of my friends has asked me to help with this euqation
but
im just a chemistry guy
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
