An 18-mm wide diffraction grating has rulings of 720 lines per mm. Monochromatic light of 571 nm wavelength is incident normally on the grating. What is the largest angle, measured from the central bright spot, at which an intensity maximum is formed?

A 6-m wire with a mass of 20 g, is under tension. A transverse wave, for which the frequency is 180 Hz, the wavelength is 0.3 m, and the amplitude is 6.6 mm, is propagating on the wire. The time for a crest of this wave to travel the length of the wire is closest to

In a two-slit experiment, the slit separation is 3.80 × 10-5 m. The interference pattern is recorded on a flat screen-like detector that is 2.00 m away from the slits. If the seventh bright fringe on the detector is 10.0 cm away from the central fringe, what is the wavelength of the light passing through the slits?

The tension in each of two strings is adjusted so that both vibrate at exactly 288 Hz. The tension in one of the strings is then increased slightly. As a result, six beats per second are heard when both strings vibrate. What is the new frequency of the string that was tightened?
