Diffraction Gratings: In a diffraction grating experiment, light of 600 nm wavelength produces a first-order maximum 0.35 mm from the central maximum on a distant screen. On the same screen, a second monochromatic source produces a third-order maximum 0.87 mm from the central maximum when it passes through the same diffraction grating. What is the wavelength of the light from the second source?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).

In a thermodynamic process involving 7.8 moles of an ideal gas, the gas is at an initial temperature of 24°C and has an initial volume of 0.040 m3

The gas expands adiabatically to a volume of 0.080 m3. For this gas, CV = 12.27 J/mol • K, and the ideal gas constant is R = 8.314 J/mol ? K. Calculate the work done by the gas during this expansion.
