Why exactly three letters in a file extension?
An old convention stemming from MS-DOS ca. 1983, which only allowed 8+3 characters in file names - 8 in the name and 3 for the extension. Since MS-DOS used the file extension to look up which program could open it, and there were many programs, developers would commonly use all three characters in their extensions.Neither Unix/Linux nor Mac had these requirements, but the convention is still with us.

What are the three or four characters right of the period in a file name where the file can be hidden or displayed?
That is the file extension. Each file has this extension to tell the system what to do with the file. For example, a program has .exe at the end. This means that it is an executable file, so the system will launch it as a standard executable. A document has .doc or .docx. The system checks file association when you run it, and tells whatever program is set to handle documents to open that file. If you have MS Word, then it will open the file. If you use Open Office, then that program will open it. If you change the extension, then a different program will try to open the file. For example, changing a .jpg to a .txt will open notepad. However, the file is not actually plain text, so you will see many pages of gibberish, since notepad doesn't really know what to do with the image file.
