Although we have discussed single-slit diffraction only for a slit, a similar result holds when light bends around a straight, thin object, such as a strand of hair. In that case, a is the width of the strand. From actual laboratory measurements on a human hair, it was found that when a beam of light of wavelength 633.0nm was shone on a single strand of hair, and the diffracted light was viewed on a screen 1.40m away, the first dark fringes on either side of the central bright spot were 5.34cm apart. How thick was this strand of hair?

Two students, each riding bicycles, start from the same apartment building and ride to the same building on campus, but each takes a different route. the first student rides 1100 m due east and then turns due north and travels another 1430 m before arriving at the destination. the second student heads due north for 1930 m and then turns and heads directly toward the destination. at the turning point, how far is the second student from the destination?
