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

How does the hypothesis of inflation account for the existence of the "seeds" of density from which galaxies and other large structures formed?
A) Inflation would have caused random, microscopic quantum fluctuations to grow so large in size that they became the seeds of structure. B) Inflation predicts that gravity would have been very strong and thereby would have concentrated mass into seeds. C) Inflation tells us that the universe should have a "flat" overall geometry, and this led to the flat disks of galaxies. D) Inflation predicts that temperatures and densities should have become nearly equal throughout the universe.
A long solenoid has a radius of 2.0 cm and has 700 turns/m. If the current in the solenoid is decreasing at the rate of 8.0 A/s, what is the magnitude of the induced electric field at a point 2.5 cm from the axis of the solenoid?
a. 56 ?V/m b. 8.8 ?V/m c. 88 ?V/m d. 69 ?V/m e. 44 ?V/m
