← A Young's double-slit experiment is done with white light, which contains every wavelength from 400 nm to 700 nm. At a certain point on the screen, the path difference between the two waves is 1500 nm. Which visible wavelengths are missing (give dark fringes) at that point?
At noon, ship B is 10 km due east of ship A, as shown in the figure. Ship A sails due north at 8 km/h and ship B sails due west at 6 km/h, both at steady speeds. The smallest distance between the two ships, in kilometres, is ____. →
