Angela claims that she wears a cylindrical-shaped hollow gold bracelet because it expands less than a solid one with a change in temperature. Clarissa claims that a cylindrical-shaped solid gold bracelet expands less than a hollow one. Which one, if either, is correct?
a. Angela, because the bracelet expands outward on its outer surface and inward on its inner surface. b. Clarissa, because the bracelet expands outward on its outer surface and inward on its inner surface. c. Angela, because the inner circumference does not change, but the outer circumference expands.
d. Clarissa, because the inner circumference does not change, but the outer circumference expands.
e. Neither, because both the inner and outer circumferences increase in length.

Single-Slit Diffraction: Using monochromatic light of 410 nm wavelength, a single thin slit forms a diffraction pattern, with the first minimum at an angle of 40.0° from central maximum. The same slit, when illuminated by a new monochromatic light source, produces a diffraction pattern with the second minimum at a 60.0° angle from the central maximum. What is the wavelength of this new light?
A. 276 nm B. 293 nm C. 309 nm D. 326 nm E. 342 nm
