A diffraction grating is to be used to find the wavelength of the emission spectrum of a gas

The grating spacing is not known, but light of a known wavelength of 632.8 nm is deflected by 43.2° in the second order by this grating. Light of the wavelength to be measured is deflected by 34.9° in the second order. What is the wavelength of the light that is to be measured?


529 nm

An instructor fires an arrow into a wooden block suspended by strings, as shown. If the mass of the arrow is 1/10 the mass of the block, what is the momentum of the arrow relative to the momentum of the block after the arrow has fully penetrated the block and is moving with it?

a. The same. b. The momentum of the arrow is 1/10 that of the block. c. The momentum of the arrow is ten times that of the block. d. The momentum of the arrow is 100 times that of the block because the kinetic energy is ½mv2. e. The momentum of the arrow is 1/100 times that of the block because the kinetic energy is ½mv2.
