Light with a wavelength of 600 nm shines onto a single slit, and the diffraction pattern is observed on a screen 2.5 m away from the slit. The distance, on the screen, between the dark spots to either side of the central maximum in the pattern is 25 mm. (a) What is the distance between the same dark spots when the screen is moved so it is only 1.5 m from the slit

Engineers find a new metal that is stronger than steel but much lighter. this material is also significantly cheaper than what is currently used for most aircraft, available in large quantities, and easy to manufacture. the engineers are excited because this new material will lower the costs of buying and operating airplanes for companies. what is probably the best step for the engineers to make next?

Name two kinds of practical electric pumps.

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
