What are the three longest wavelengths for standing waves on a 264- cm -long string that is fixed at both ends

1 answer:

7 0

The three longest wavelengths for the standing waves on a 264-cm long string that is fixed at both ends are:

5.2 meters.
2.6 meters.
1.7meters.

Given data:

Length of the fixed string = 264cms = 2.64 meters

The wavelength for standing waves is given by:

λ = 2L/n

where,

λ is the wavelength
L is the length of the string

For n = 1,

λ = 2×2.6/1

= 5.2 meters

For n = 2,

λ = 2×2.6/2

= 2.6 meters

For n = 3,

λ = 2×2.6/3

= 1.7 meters

Under which conditions do both convex and concave mirrors form virtual images? State whether or not each can form a real image.

-Dominant- [34]

Hi!

Convex mirrors always form virtual images regardless of object position and the image is formed behind the mirror in both cases I.e. at infinity and between infinity and the pole. The image is diminished in both the cases.

Concave mirrors form a virtual image when the object is placed in between the Principal focus and the Pole and the image is formed behind the mirror. The virtual image is enlarged in this case. In all other object positions I.e. at infinity, beyond Center of curvature, at Center,between centre of curvature and principal focus and at principal focus, a real and an inverted image of the object is formed.
The ray diagrams for all the positions for the object in concave and convex mirrors are given below:
