In summary, the conversation is about solving for X, D, and L in the basic equation X/L = Wavelength/D. The solutions are X = WL/D, D = WL/X, and L = XD/W. The conversation ends with the poster expressing gratitude and declaring this as their favorite post on the forum. The expert summarizer also adds a playful response to potential refutations.

X = WL/D

D = WL/X

L = XD/W

Simple questions with simple answers. Glad I could help!

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"
