I need a book that sticks to a single topic, is definitelypseudoscience, and has flaws that are easy to spot. The topicsshould be under occult/paranormal/New Age section.
( I just need a book that has fallacious argument, logical fallacy,and flaw of argumentation)

"Adouble-slit pattern is observed on a screen 2m from the slits.Given that the light is incident normally and has a wavelength of450nm, what is the minimum slit separation for a point 3.2mm fromthe center to be (a) a minimum; or (b) a maximum?"

I'm very new to this topic so sorry if I seem to not know what I amdoing at all. For the formula dsinθ = d(y/L) = mλ , I get d = ?, L= 2m, ? = 450nm, y = 3.2mm. If what I just said is right, I am thencompletely lost as to what minimum/maximum means here. I'dappreciate it if I can get the formulas I need as well as thetheory behind it.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. The correct answers are:(a)0.141mm and(b)0.218mm.

The average person thinks of laser beams as pencil-thin rays oflight, but let’s calculate what actually happens to a laser beam asit propagates a large distance away. Let a plane wave be incidenton a wall with a hole in it. To turn the plane wave into a laserbeam, let’s make the hole a “Gaussian hole,” which has atransmission, t(x) = exp[-(x/2w)2], and, to simplify the problem,we’ll just consider the x-direction (the answer is the same in they-direction). Compute the shape of the beam electric field, E(x’),a large distance z away (by “shape,” I mean just the functionalform, so you need only use the “proportional to,” (?) symbol,rather than “equals” when calculating the electric field).
If we call w in the above formula the “spot size” of the beam atthe wall, use the same definition of spot size to determine thesize of the beam (call it w’) a distance, z, away as a function ofz, w, and ? (the wavelength of the beam).
So, if you’d like a small spot far away, should you use a small orlarge spot nearby?

An automobile is traveling at a speed of 80 km/hr through a heavyrain. The raindrops are falling vertically at 10 m/s and there are7x10^-4 kg of raindrops in each cubic meter of air. For thefollowing calculation assume the automobile has the shape of arectangular box 2.0 m wide, 1.5 m high, and 4.0 m long.
a.) at what rate (in kg/s) do the raindrops strike the front andtop of the automobile? b.) Assume that when a raindrop hits, itintially sticks to the automobile, although it falls of later. Atwhat rate does the automobile give momentum to the raindrops? Whatis the horizontal drag force that the impact of the raindropsexerts on the automobile?

I guess I'm just stick in the phrasing of the question. I don'tunderstand what they are asking me to do. I think I did part acorrectly however I simply found the resultant vector of the vectoraddition of the automobile and the rain then multiplied it by thecumulative area of the top and the front and then mutiplied that bythe given ratio of the mass of rain to cubic meter. Part b howeveralludes my reasoning I don't understand what they're asking me todo.
