A thin beam of light of wavelength 625 nm goes through a thin slit and falls on a screen 3.00 m past the slit.
 
  You observe that the first completely dark fringes occur on the screen at distances of 8.24 mm from the central bright fringe, and that the central bright fringe has an intensity of 2.00 W/m2 at its center.
  (a) How wide is the slit?
  (b) What is the intensity of light at a point on the screen that is one-quarter of the way from the central bright fringe to the first dark fringe?

Question 2

A 50.0-g sample of a material at 80.0C is dropped into a calorimeter containing 100.0 g of water at 20.0C. When the mixture reaches thermal equilibrium, it is at a temperature 24.0C.
 
  If heat transfer to the walls of the calorimeter is negligible, what is the specific heat of the material?
  A)
 
  0.143 cal/(gC)
  B)
 
  0.322 cal/(gC)
  C)
 
  0.221 cal/(gC)
  D)
 
  0.437 cal/(gC)
  E)
 
  0.0714 cal/(gC)

About one in five American adults and teenagers have had a genital herpes infection—and most of them don't know it. People with genital herpes have at least twice the risk of becoming infected with HIV if exposed to it than those people who do not have genital herpes.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

HIV testing reach is still limited. An estimated 40% of people with HIV (more than 14 million) remain undiagnosed and do not know their infection status.
