A very thin oil film floats on water.
What is the thinnest film that produces a strong reflection for
green light with a wavelength of 500 nm?
FIGURE EX17.1 is a snapshot graph at t = 0 s of two waves approaching each other at 1.0 m/s. Draw six snapshot graphs, stacked vertically, showing the string at 1 s intervals from t = 1 s to t = 6 s
As the captain of the scientific team sent to Planet Physics, one
of your tasks is to measure g. You have a long, thin wire labeled
1.00 g/m and a 1.25 kg weight. You have your accurate space cadet
chronometer but, unfortunately, you seem to have forgotten a
meter stick. Undeterred, you first find the midpoint of the wire by
folding it in half. You then attach one end of the wire to the wall
of your laboratory, stretch it horizontally to pass over a pulley at
the midpoint of the wire, then tie the 1.25 kg weight to the end
hanging over the pulley. By vibrating the wire, and measuring
time with your chronometer, you find that the wire鈥檚 second harmonic
frequency is 100 Hz. Next, with the 1.25 kg weight still
tied to one end of the wire, you attach the other end to the ceiling
to make a pendulum. You find that the pendulum requires 314 s to
complete 100 oscillations. Pulling out your trusty calculator, you
get to work. What value of g will you report back to headquarters?
Two in-phase speakers 2.0 m apart in a plane are emitting 1800 Hz sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Is the point 4.0 m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the plane of the speakers, a point of maximum constructive interference, maximum destructive interference, or something in between?
