Student passes 633 �� laser light through a narrow slit and observe the diffraction pattern on a screen 7. 00 � away. The distance on the screen between the centers of the first minima on either side of the central bright fringe is 35.0 ��. (a) How wide is the slit? (b) The intensity at the center of the pattern is �R. What is the intensity at a point on the screen 3.80 �� from the center of the pattern?

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.
