A physicist is calibrating a spectrometer that uses a diffraction grating to separate light in order of increasing wavelength (λA, λB, and λC). She observes three distinct first-order spectral lines at the following respective angles θm (where m denotes order). θ1 = 12.9°, θ1 = 14.2°, θ1 = 15.0° (a) If the grating has 3,680 grooves per centimeter, what wavelength (in nm) describes each of these spectral lines?

There is a theory that indicates that dinosaurs became extinct when about 65 million years ago, a large asteroid hit the earth surface. dust caused by this collision blocked the sunlight reaching the earth's surface and many forms of life became extinct due to the cold. fearing this threat, how large the radius of an asteroid should you be looking for if the dangerous asteroid size is approximately the same as the one that killed the dinosaurs? available data suggests that about 18% of that asteroid's mass ended up as a dust spread evenly over earth after eventually settling out of the upper atmosphere. about 0.0180 g/cm^2 of dust, which is chemically different than the earth's rock, covered the earth's surface. typical asteroids have a density of about 1.9 g/cm^3. now that we know the size of the asteroid, how much energy was released during impact, assuming all of it was just the kinetic energy of the asteroid right before the impact?

Describe different biomes. what are some adaptations that organisms (plants or animals) must have to live in each biome?

In a good thermo flask the main cause of heat loss is
