g n diffraction, the formula for minima is given by a times s i n (theta )equals m lambda, where a is the width of the slit, theta is the angle of dispersion, m is the order, and lambda is the wavelength. For a wavelength of 630 nm, m equals 3, and a equals 5 times 10 to the power of negative 6 end exponent m. Calculate the angular spread in Degrees. Enter only the numerical value (i. e. omit the unit abbreviations when inputting your answer into Blackboard).

θ = 22.2

Explanation:

This is a diffraction exercise

        a sin θ = m λ

The extension of the third zero is requested (m = 3)

They indicate the wavelength  λ = 630 nm = 630 10⁻⁹ m and the width of the slit  a = 5 10⁻⁶ m

         sin  θ = m λ / a

         sin  θ = 3 630 10⁻⁹ / 5 10⁻⁶

         sin  θ = 3.78 10⁻¹ = 0.378

          θ = sin⁻¹  0.378

to better see the result let's find the angle in radians

          θ = 0.3876 rad

let's reduce to degrees

         θ = 0.3876 rad (180º /π rad)

         θ = 22.2º

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
