An 18 mm wide diffraction grating has rulings of 820 lines per mm. light is incident normally on the grating. monochromatic light of 446 nm wavelength is used. the largest angle from the normal at which an intensity maximum is formed is closest to:

a. 43°
b. 47°
c. 41°
d. 39°
e. 45°

Agymnast dismounts off the uneven bars in a tuck position with a radius of 0.3m (assume she is a solid sphere) and an angular velocity of 2rev/s. during the dismount she stretches out into the straight position, with a length of 1.5m, (assume she is a uniform rod through the center) for her landing. the gymnast has a mass of 50kg. what is her angular velocity in the straight position?

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.

Aheavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a90-cm-long, 5.0 g steel wire. when the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundamental frequency of 80hz. what is the mass of the sculpture?
